Actually, my other car is a 90 volvo 240 wagon. The car is built like a tank.
Fortunately, I live in a very rural area. I have to drive almost 30 miles to
see a traffic light. A friend of mine recently crashed his spitfire into a
tree and demolished both his legs. I think defensive driving is the key with
these cars. I tell my wife "at least its not a motorcycle", although she
refuses to go any distance with me in the TR in fear that we both would be
killed...
