Jeff's note begs the question: When did we go for the first real sports car, 
and with which car?

My first car was a 1931 Model A ford, then a '63 Chevy, then a '68 Camaro, and 
then it happened.  It was 1970.  I saw this incredibly beautiful Fiat 850 
Spyder on a used car lot.  Within a day it was mine.  It was a piece of s#!t 
(because of non-existent maintenance) but it was a real SPORTS CAR!  Been 
hooked every since.
