The sexuality issue was probably overstated and was not tied directly into the paragraph about Volkswagens. I read kinda quickly as I was skimming for the OBVW content and smashed into the following excerpt.

"The convertible has a special significance for most people. Not only is it a sex symbol, but it signifies freedom, lack of restraint, and a "fun" attitude towards life. A woman patient who was depressed and felt inhibited and unloved by her family bought a convertible because it gave her the feeling of freedom she needed. To others the convertible can be an expression of Bi-Sexuality. In envy of women men may wish to have an opening of their own. The convertible satisfies that unconscious wish. A patient who was envious of his pregnant wife and her ability to have a baby bought himself a convert- ible--it satisfied his desire to have an opening from which a person could emerge."

Now, I drive a 21 window with a big sunroof, have a rabbit vert, and play on the weekends in the woods with my "topless" landcruiser. What does the above paragraph tell you about my "lifestyle" ;->
