Wow, I knew I was a strange cat, but *none* of those apply to me at all.
How about:
8) Saw the car, fell in love with a thing of beauty, started driving
it and fell further in love with the visceral experience.
Bought my first TR3A when I was 17 and the car was almost 30.
Drove it every day (that it ran), had never seen one outside
of a book and had/have never joined a Brit Car club, never
had a family member or friend with one. (In fact, my family
tried to talk me out of buying the little british "death trap")
Truth be told, at the time I bought the TR3A which was my second
choice because I couldn't afford my first choice, the Jag E-Type.
I've learned better since then.
Someday when I'm loaded with money to burn I'll still get a Jag,
but it'll then take second place to my Triumph. :)
