The Perfect Car for Every Life Crisis
The Perfect Car for Every Life Crisis - Automobile Magazine
While traveling the road of life, the enthusiast doesn't have to compromise a desire for performance against the demands of practicality.

Then we turned the keys over to a gearhead who fits the target demographic and is ready to climb the ladder.
