Thank goodness I'm not one of those older women! I was only 47 when I got my 2005 NBC GLS in a 'dull' Aquarious Blue, tricked out with eyelids and daisy covers! I was 22 when I got my '75 Beetle Convertible. Now that I'm all grown up I've started plotting to get an EOS - Lux edition of course! I love my NBC, but with all the decontenting lately, I won't mind seeing it pass on.
