Shhh...don't discourage Bob. Having once upon a time owned one of the
old British sports cars, I think it would be ideal for him Fun to
drive on rare occasion and a huge pain in the ass the rest of the
time

What a depressing image this conjures: a heavyset, sweaty guy in a tank top
leaning into the engine box of some little old piece of crap on a Queens side
street because he doesn't have a proper garage, with one eye constantly askance
looking for the mugger who is going to take what meager funds he has.
