That's funny - but here's an exception

When I got my (used) Mercedes SLK 320 (i.e., a roadster type car), I was in my 60's - all the cars I'd had up until that time were various 4-door models. I enjoyed zipping around in the SLK 320 (and, yes, it was a chick-magnet - not that I took advantage of that!). But then I began to notice that when I observed other drivers of this same car, they all tended to be older men in their 60's, 70's, 80's. . . and I began to think, "OMG - I've really fallen into the typical demographic trap here!". LOL!

Of course, it did not help that that car was also a black hole of money just for maintenance and upkeep, and I jettisoned it after three years. The Acura I replaced it with was a gutless wonder, which I pawned off on one of my kids after just a year (when his car became useless). I've now had a Kia Stinger for almost four years, and I absolutely feel that it's the best solution for my "old age" driving needs - way better acceleration than the Mercedes and yet its 4-doors prevent any notions of "second childhood" (or teenhood!) fantasies - LOL! I still get a lot of nice comments on it though.

And, yes, my next car will be an EV! In fact, there are rumors that Kia may be revamping this model to become an EV itself. . .
