I think it was a loaded/sarcastic question, for those of you that missed that.

+1 What 85_SS_302_Coupe said. Also, any car you refuse to get rid of, yet is undrivable and only takes up space in your garage or yard.

Oh... And when your girl starts going back to the gym and getting hot again... Yeah, she's about to become someone else's girlfriend.

A little bit. I have the 88 up for sale and some of the calls and texts I have been getting on it have made me wonder if I understood the definition myself.
