Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- VoGhost Interesting comments. Back in reality, AV is already here, and the experience to date has been that AV is far safer than most drivers. But I guess your "news" didn't tell you that, for some reason.
- Doc423 Come try to take it, Pal. Environmental Whacko.
- 28-Cars-Later Mazda despite attractive styling has resale issues - 'Yota is always the answer.
- 28-Cars-Later Try again.
- Doc423 It's a flat turn, not banked, which makes it more difficult to negotiate, especially if you're travelling a little too fast.

The first convertible I ever rode in was an early '60's TR3. I guess I just assumed all of them would be easy to use - after all, it's just canvas, right? I should have known as on that Triumph I could lean out and touch the ground at 12 years old. I've recently re-upped for an old driver quality convert and the adjustment is more than I expected, but damn is the summer air at 5000 feet elevation at sunup a revelation. I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger.....
