Besides Lunar distances and antique collection... I am driving a Honda Civic. It takes me not only to the local supermarket but also across the US. But there are people who buy Jaguars and Ferraris. For me, a car is a mean of transportation, and they are "car lovers". And I understand them. I am a "sextant lover". Alex.
