My Love of Cars!
As driving goes, I am pretty crap really as my attention span is weak and I find it a pretty tedious process that, alarmingly, makes me want to just doze off. I kind of need a new car now, but my lack of enthusiasm (and knowledge) leaves me scrolling through websites with a vacant brain wondering who is going to eye me up as a sitting duck for an ill-judged purchase.
