I am starting to struggle just a bit getting into the GTI, which apparently is 0.4" lower than the usual Golf. I've been working out and stretching, and it's starting to be a chore. Getting into a car like a Corvette at my age starts to be a real chore. I can see why folks like SUVs (some, I hate'em personally).
Guys my age like to buy that flashy car they dreamed about all their lives, which is fine, but it starts to be impractical. I know one can pick up a used nice Corvette for quite the discount.
Did I mention how bad the roads in Boston were? Terrible. Massachusettes in general had bad roads.
