Well after realising that nearly every girl and her dog were driving around as cool as Steve McQueen in Bullit for their first cars, I wonder if you kept it up?

I think your choice of car can say something about you.

For instance, I drive a Volvo XC60 it is rugged, tough and nippy on the outside but soft and beautiful on the inside......just like me ha ha!

What about you? What are you driving around in?

I love the word "Nippy". It's a word only British people use, haha.

I don't drive anymore but when I did, I had a thing for Japanese import cars. I had a Mitsubishi Evo and my dream was to own a Nissan GTR. Keep your Ferraris and Lambos... I want a car smarter than I am, lol. My little brother bought a Subaru Impreza after he left the Army. The old model that wasn't a hatchback. We had several conversations about how he bought the wrong car, lol.

You'll never have a love like your first car Athena! I still have fond memories of my little rust bucket! At least yours is a pretty cool car to boot! It's hard to sell them when you finally have to move on.

Wife and I have 2 cars which we share
- newer model Mercedes CLA with AMG package
- older model BMW 335i convertible with a metallic gold wrap

Despite having those types of cars my interest in cars has actually dwindled. I used to love cars and I've lost count of how many I've bought and sold over the past few decades. These days I would be happy in a basic Hyundai or Toyota. Honestly today I'm far more interested in shoes, handbags and makeup LOL.

I'm looking to retire in a few years and will likely unload the current cars for something more practical and cheaper to maintain.

Let go of the things that no longer serve you... Let go of the pretense of the false persona, it is not you... Let go of the armor that you have worn for a lifetime, to serve the expectations of others and, to protect the woman inside... She needs protection no longer.... She is tired of hiding and more courageous than you know... Let her prove that to you....Let her step out of the dark and feel the light upon her face.... amg🌸

I will drive a few nails today.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

THE BEAST!

2025 Jeep Wrangler. I'm retired, so I didn't need something to commute with. I needed a work vehicle. I loved my 2015 Jeep Patriot, but it was a street car: 4 cylinder, two-wheel drive. Great on gas, but bad in the back country.

The Beast is 6 cylinder, 4X4, and I added "accessories" to carry my mining gear. Roof rack, window racks (inside and out), and a shelf that doubles the cargo space.

My neighbor said it reeks of testosterone. (Ouch!)
He later added that clearly I am no "poser" and this is a work truck.
I see it as a tool to ge me and my gear wherever I need to be.

Nothing. I haven't had a car since 2002. It was an 88 Ford Sierra 2 litre GL which I ran until the rust monster saw it off. I got free travel then as I was a bus and tram driver.
Get free travel now I'm an OAP.

I was almost expecting you to post a pic of a dragster and claim you drive it to do your food shopping.
