I was walking in the neighborhood. Sullivan is sitting on his porch.
"So, do you like Corvettes?"
"Not particularly."
He motions me over to show me the 2024 that his friend just bought and describes its features to me. He goes on to talk about Shelby, '61 Impalas, GTOs, an '87 Harley, and various muscle cars that old guys here in the park own.
Guys and gear. Guns, boats, camping, knives, fishing...GEAR.
I'd have loved that conversation, but then I've owned a few of the vehicles mentioned. With the exception of fishing and camping, it's about the speed, handling, and design. Design is still very important to me but now it's more related to which vehicle can best handle walkers, wheelchairs, and other aspects of limited mobility. My current 8-year-old vehicle does that well, but still has respectable power and maneuverability.
