Default Re: love at first sight

chapter 2
another car that i had later and liked its looks too was this: https://www.art.com/products/p474586...t-dauphine.htm
and mine was same color of the picture.
light, small, agile, great for driving in a dense populated city, made my day until once, when parked, was slammed against the wall by a madman and disintegrated.
that persuaded me to get something stronger.
its weight was mere 625 kg (1375 #) and even with a small engine that developed only 32 hp, getting 6000 rpm was enough to deal with the situation.
still, 2 things that it has that match the xf are its length (4 meters) and its agility.
and the design has some charm too. (by Ghia)
