That's a good comparison.  Whether you're choosing the best skater or the best car, it's just opinion.  Hopefully educated opinion.

Groan,  I'm a lot older.  Got my license in the spring of 1979 which means I'm coming up on 35 years behind the wheel.

August 11 1966.  Took the 'L' plates off and drove round to the pub for a beer and then drove back to work...all in a borrowed Morris Minor.

Tried to drive the new Mazda 3, but I didn't fit. Really silly for an all new design. That being said, there was nothing in the interior that placed it above the small car pack. Nor in pricing. Nor in fuel economy. A nice car and a competitive car, no doubt, but nothing earth shaking.

So I am checking this thread, to see what all the traffic is about, bunch of old guys talking about how long they have been driving....

So I might as well add to it, 18 years of having a license, -1 year for having it suspended, so only 17 years would be accurate.
