well, I _used_ to drive a 1991 Mazda Miata - red with black interior and a black top oh, how I loved this car. I was the coolest human on the planet on sunny days with the top down. Better than prozac. But, my baby was brutally murdered a year ago by some idiot woman in a Tracer wagon. So now, I drive a Ford Escort ZX2 (it looks a little like the Toyota Celica of the mid 90s). It’s black with black interior. At least it has some trunk space. But I am nowhere near as cool on sunny days 🙂 ---
