HO!!
Based on the way she was driving, I wondered. But she's a bit of a
flake, so I couldn't tell if the limiting factor was the car or the
attachment to the steering wheel.. I didn't have any trouble keeping
up with a minivan, which means I would've been going NUTS coasting
along in my roadster.

No way?!

While I'm digressing, I confess. If I had more money than brains (BOTH
in short supply lately!), I'd get a Morgan (wood frame). That's been a
fantasy car of mine since I was a kid. Never even ridden in one. I have
NO idea how stupid that would be... Strictly lust.
Anyway. I feel better now (and I STILL have my Datsun!).
thankyouverymuch.
