About Me: I host the Auto News & Views and Coupes & Convertibles Forums here at CarSpace.com (and no, that's not me in the photo - it's Nurse Diesel, from the movie High Anxiety, which describes how my fellow motorists feel when they see me coming). My first car was 7 year old '66 Ford Mustang, which I bought from my mother for $300 and promptly totaled. I've since owned a series of cars bound for ridicule - including a Pinto, a Catera and a Jetta - but gave me no problems. Maybe they were scared of me.
