That's a substantial drive, even by Aussie standards, in a rather, ah, compact car. I'm not sure my knees would like that. Hell of a lot more comfortable than an original 60s Cooper, though. I'd have to be surgically removed from one of those after even a three-hour trip.

Surgically removed, haha. Yep. You sit down low in that roadster, but it doesn't bother me to drive it except for ejecting.

Pretty comfortable really. Gets great mileage. I haven't driven it since I got the Tesla but now that I'm driving it again it's a lot of fun. Small and fast.

I have to remind myself I've never really been inside an American diner. In my imagination (or the ersatz imagination of a hundred movie and TV scenes, novels and short stories), I've been there so often I can taste the coffee and grind the grits between my teeth. Grits is basically polenta porridge, right? Or are grits not actually gritty? That would cause me some cognitive dissonance.
