I know it's like crossfit trying to bend down to 5" off the ground on one knee.

I laughed out loud.

Once I answered a question the CEO of the company I work for asked me with a "yes" when it was very clearly not a "yes or no" question. He was very confused, an awkward silence happened, and he just walked away. I'm amazed I haven't lost my job yet.

I'm 62. I've had sports cars my whole life. My new 2015 Scion FR-S reminds me of my first sports car. A 1974 Triumph Spitfire purchased new when I was 20 years old. It's bigger, and more powerful, but you sit down low in it, just like my Spitfire. It handles like a go-cart too. Remember, you're only as old as you feel!

Not sure about a Triumph Spitfire having go-cart handling however always liked the idea of the GT6.

Take a piss. It's close enough. Could do far worse.

Sorry about that. I just picked a more British idiom to sound rude. No offense intended.

I think what @winstonscifi was comparing it to was the average car in the US in 1974 ...... (the boats.... ).
