My Triumph and I
Long after I should have known better, I decided to get myself a Triumph TR6 sportscar.
When the roads are clear, the weather is warm, and the car is in good repair, driving the Triumph is a wonderful experience.
But more likely I need to worry about overheating in Toronto's traffic. In addition, Canadian summers are short, and the car is a money pit. As I said, I should have known better.
