One rusted Alfa Spyder heading toward Market. Both the male owner (early to mid 30's, writer?) and car looked a bit weatherbeaten, car slightly more than owner. Happily this made for a compatibility rating of 7! Then on Valencia we spy a mid eighties BMW 3 series that has also seen better days. Mom (thirties, blonde, good shape) is having a day out and is putting her child in the rear baby seat (very good!). We suspect this is she and her husband's "city" car, once pampered but having suffered countless door dings and wheel scrapes, has been left as their Urban Assault Vehicle (UAV). Being a messy day today, she was also dressed appropriately. We give her an 8 and wonder how compatible she is with her "other" car.

Being a gentleman, I will not comment on Marnie's evil post from March 1st. She may love her dad, but it's only because she's a fembot that he built between launches while working at NASA.

As for the Daimler Chrysler PT Cruiser, I can only hope that Citroen makes an unlikely return to the US market and brings the lovely Xsarra Picasso with it.
