    That is quite the statement. I am sure my wife would love to discuss it with you. My wife is Thai. Educated, a career woman that is now retired. (early retirement). Never worked in a bar. We were both in our 30's when we got married. Been married 29 years. We met in the U.S. where she attended Dean College, Massachusetts.

    The interesting thing is that I thought the innuendo (Feline cat) or P**SY was harmless and less offensive than what was substituted. I guess other folks have different views for Example I am always amused by the word F**ny pack that is use by the folks from USA for the bag many tourists use that goes around a persons waist.. Bl&&dy H*ll it is so hard to be political correct these days is Humour acceptable or are they going to take the U out of it TTNT Brian from the land down under

    Driving a Ferrari around Dumaguete will have you constantly worried about it getting dented. I think i will stick with the old bird.

    Yes, sometimes best to stick with the 'old banger you' know. :smile:

    Yes, indeed. But the real challenge is to know when to stop putting repair money into the "old banger," and find a dependable "newer banger." That's where I am now.

    Sounds interesting. You looking for low-mileage, good bodywork, fast acceleration or just something sedate? Keep us posted.

    Many old guys with a twisted brain have or want a smart car, but do they know how to drive them?:unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure:

    The newest cars are self driving so not really important any more.

    I don't bother trying a self-driving car. The driving pleasure factor must be near zero. 40+ years ago, I learned how to drive a 'three on the tree' manual, then later, bought my first 4 speed stick, then years later, 5 speed stick. Still drive a 5 speed stick (6 speeds -nauh, that's borderline nonsense). Auto transmision = yawn.
