And yeah, it's the kind of car I would drive if I were a teen. As it was, I had an orange 2002 BMW in 1970. Cost $2,900 hundred then but so did college. Yep, a certifiable geezer. Learned to drive as a cabbie in NYC when I was 19. Still aggressive after all these years.

I bought my first Z when I was 18, without financial help from dad. Dad did teach me to drive including what he called "brodies", we called them doughnuts, starting when I was 11 in his XKE. By the time I was 16 I had a lot of training under my belt.
I too was an honor student, athlete, quick reflexes, etc. Those things did not seem to slow me down in the slightest. I got to experiment with
speed on the horizontal plane. An unnatural sensation that I still enjoy.
