A Machine for Driving In

I was looking at all sorts of cars. You know how low certain "entry-level luxury" cars can get on the used market? I even was tempted by a 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid with charcoal finish, motorized sunroof, Sirius Satellite, cooled seats, backup camera and THX sound.

Not to mention a few bizarre outliers. Like a Midnight Edition Nissan Juke, which is like what happens when 1960's hotrod genes get into the design of a "subcompact crossover SUV."

I ended up with something that has four wheels and a radio. But it is still a lot of fun to drive. I traded the momentary luxuries of fancy sound systems and zoned air conditioning for flappy paddles and a terrible rear-view mirror.
