David, you just reminded me of my very first car here in Ontario. It was in 1962 or '63, I bought a '59 Austin Healey bug-eye Sprite roadster. Thinking back, it was like a big toy car but it actually ran. It had the tiniest 4 cylinder I had ever seen, 948 cc making a whopping 43 HP. Fun to drive but wouldn't start when the humidity went above 50%.

The memory of it will make me appreciate the C8 all the more. I'm taking delivery this coming Wednesday, just after my birthday on Sunday. I expect I'll get some double takes when people see an old fogey like me get out of it in a parking lot. That's ok.
