<p>When I was a teenager, I really wanted a bright red, MG ragtop sports car. I considered several other cars. Some seemed more practical. Some were cheaper. Some were bigger and could carry more people and junk. I listed the pros and cons. I talked with other people. I looked at pictures of cars. I read car mags and studied specifications. When I made my lists, I always hoped the MG would come out ahead. I would have been overjoyed if someone told me I had no choice and had to buy the MG. My father lived a little vicariously through my dreams and I think he would have been happy if I had an MG. </p>
<p>Long before my parents would were willing to help me out on getting a car and long before I had the money for my red MG, I "had" to babysit a relatives car. My cousin was in the military and needed a place to leave his car for 6 months. He also wanted someone to drive it so the battery was charged and it did not sit and rust. Guess what - - a bright, red MG!! It did not take long to realize that the dream MG was a piece o' s. The ride was horrible, the seats unconfortable and the car was poorly made. Stuff kept breaking. When I wanted to go out with friends, there was only room for one passenger. Pretty soon the car just sat in the driveway. </p>
