Lloyd, I was single, in my late 20's and early 30's and living in a city that didn't have much to offer for automobile eye candy. So a bright yellow Pantera REALLY stood out.
But while Winnipeg may not have had a lot of exotic cars, it had a ton of extremely good looking women. A melting pot of primarily English, Scots, Irish, French, Ukrainian and Icelandic. And I had just renovated a circa 1900 three story home in south central Winnipeg into a 2 story bachelor pad. Classic on the outside, modern on the inside. If the car wasn't enough, the house sealed the deal.
Whew! I get tired just reminiscing!
The only car I've had since that was as fast (or near as fast) on the top end is in my driveway right now. A 2002 Passat Wagon W8 with AWD in silver. The ultimate sleeper. I've seen 155 MPH on the dial. It's either been mine or my ex wife's since 2003.
Damascus, I like the way you think!
