Ferrari Mailing List: Re: My Car Ownership History...

[Steve Jenkins (steve]

Jason:

May I be so bold as to propose some edits?

High maintenance cars with high performance = fun
Low maintenance cars with high performance = still fun, but extremely rare

High maintenance cars with low performance = never boring, but a nightmare
which should be disposed of as quickly as possible
Low maintenance cars with low performance = boring

And NOW you can swap in "women" for "cars" above and it's all still true. :)
