That sounds like a typical "Best of Craigslist Ad or  a typical honest
seller ad on the Samba?
In any event, nicely written-almost sounds like Ed Donnen?

Pulitzer in literature 2012?

"And those other cars, Their horns make cute little beeping noises, so
considerate to not be rude. They don't have horns that sound with the
arrogance and fury of some long dead Mongol warlord. They don't come with
apocalyptic snow tires, all spikes and brutal tread. You cannot fix those
cars on the side of the road, using a wrench as a hammer. Those cars will
never force you to think, never allow you to exercise your own ingenuity.
In those cars you can't stand up illegally through the sunroof from the
back seat, and watch the moon with the cool night air blowing through you
(h)air."

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-& now back to the tire thread
