When I was 17 and a year from graduating from High School - a good friend of mine had a red 1969 Spitfire, and I was driving my first car, a yellow 1966 Mustang. We ended up renting a house together for the summer and all of our senior year of school. It took me about four months to get the bug from him, and I ended up buying a 1971 golden yellow Spitfire that I happened to drive by on a for sale lot going to work one day. Then I was really hooked.
I sold it when I went in the service in 1975, and regretted it ever since. So two years ago I bought my current Spitfire. Mid life crisis? Yes and no - either way, I don't regret it and it is even more fun to drive than when I was 17. There is no other car like it - no Corvette, BMW, Miata, anything, that drives like a Spitfire. And it seems that most everyone that owns one agrees....
