Would this suffice, instead?

No, we're going to sell both the Impreza and Carey's Forester. It's 10 years old, and we're looking at just one new Forester after the Impreza's paid off. The Impreza is really low to the ground and beginning to give my knees issues when I get in and out. OUCH! If Carey gets itchy for her own car she wants a little electric jobbie for puttering around town. She doesn't drive much anymore, especially in these times.

Love my Forester! Reserved my 2014 at the dealer before they'd even heard anything about it (saw the YT videos from the LA auto show). 7.5 years old. Just over 18,000 miles. I don't drive much, either. Everything is so close in Flagstaff that there's no need.

After millions of air miles and 10s of thousands of miles spent in the 3rd row seat in a station wagon, facing backward at a friggin' trailer (one whole month every summer), I have zero interest in traveling during retirement. I'm happy walking my dogs in the national forest every day. Got in 3 miles this morning, e.g.

FYI, here are the four parts of the 4th generation Forester (2014) development video.

Front wheel drive means the nose of your car goes into the guard rail first. Rear wheel drive means the back of your car goes into the guard rail first. All wheel drive means both the front and back of your car go into the guard rail at the same time.

I didn't get burned out on travel. I think I was born without the 'travel gene'. No urge to, I'm happy staying in my general area.

Dreamed about travel from the youngest age. Too long in port means trouble. The freedom to be on the next thing smokin' is precious to me.

Surely met more than one sex worker in my life, and know a former mud wrestler too.

In Russia, when life was harder, there were two tiers, currency and non currency. Non currency workers would barter for goods, they also aspired to work for currency.

Similarly, I knew a girl that was in the non currency class, she worked for drinks in a bar. During the day she had an office job. But she did drink a lot and liked meeting people. This was before AIDS, I sometimes wonder if she made it to 40.

Lots of kinds of work can be a pain in the rear. But for a sex worker, it becomes part of you :eek:
