You gotta love that voice!

 I'm a little vague on dates in that era but I saw her in a roadhouse on
the Albany-Schenectady road. It must have been fairly early in her career
since the stage was only a raised platform about 4' high, with people
walking up to give her pints of Southern Comfort.

Awesome.  I saw Iggy Pop in college.

I'd go for a Cayman. The base flat four is around $75k. I came close to
a Porsche once. I went in to buy a 914, didn't like it, and bought an
Audi instead.

I'd like the Cayman for short local trips on winding roads, but it's way
too small for an out-of-state trip.

 That is a problem. Depending on the season I tend to have camping gear,
snowshoes, bows, axes, coveralls, trekking poles, a bicycle, and sometimes
even an Advanced Elements inflatable kayay stuffed in the back of the
Yaris.

At 75, you're still kicking ass.  Knee or hip problems?  I'm just 62 but I think I'm getting arthritis in my right hip.

It was summed up years later when I went in to kick the tires on the
Pontiac Fiero. The salesman who had sold me a Firebird a couple of
years earlier yelled across the showroom floor "They don't make that in
your size".

Fiero was for hobbit-sized people.

 I kept the Firebird. That's a case in point. I had a '73 Mustang and when
a friend and I went grocery shopping and came out with a groaning cart, I
popped the trunk. She looked at it and said "I don't think this is the
sort of car a guy interested in a woman with kids drives." She was right.
After '73 Ford came out with the Mustang II kiddie car. I switched to
Camaros. Comfortable, but the same ridiculous trunk. Then in '82 my
fondest dreams came true, the Camaro/Firebird line became hatchbacks. The
Firebird had retractible headlights aand I thought it was better looking.

Camaros were always great-looking.  Wikipedia says Chevy shut down production in late 2023.
