Even at my tender age, I realized that there was something wrong with a car that would lose traction in the rear so easily. That convertible, with a heavier, more powerful engine would be one dangerous car.

My next used car I get will probably be a small Toyota SUV so we can have a matching set. Our next car after that will probably be an electric car. The idea of getting a brand-new car terrifies me - that's way too big of a responsibility!

I changed a timing belt and water pump on a VW and what a mess that was! I used my parent's car port for a couple of weeks - that was me being a bad son!
