My interest is utterly frivolous and superficial: I care about how the cars look.<\/p>\n<p>As I ply my streets, I look at the cars to identify their make by their hood emblems, and then evaluate the physical appearance. Is that car pretty? Beautiful? Nothing special? Klutzy?<\/p>\n<p>I had tea with a good friend, told her what I&#8217;d been doing and learned that, like me, she felt the most gorgeous car ever was a Porsche. Like me, she&#8217;s never owned a car and never wanted one but we agreed if we had to buy a car, the only one we&#8217;d buy was a Porsche.<\/p>\n<p>For me, it&#8217;s the nose.
