maybe ragged edge, but common sense also.

yes, adequate acceleration is important. also, a good handling car can
save your life. I'm just not an adolescent anymore. I have very fond
memories of the sports cars I've owned. I really like the toyota mr-2
spyder, if my 6'3" and size 13 fits in the car that is. I've always
loved midengine cars. I used to have a Porsche 914 that was just great.
A long time ago I fell for the italian charm of alfas. But, sports cars
are an expense that I no longer wish to endure. I'm still recovering
from my latest bout with restoration fever. I'm perfectly happy driving
a saturn.

yeah, that's pure poser territory.
Be seeing you.
