I am so laughing at this thread! I understand where you are coming from! I have a Janome 10001 and only use it for embroidery. For sewing and quilting, I use my 15-91, my 66 or my 27 treadle. I have a new Volkswagen CC Sport. I drive it to church and to the grocery store. For my fun driving, I have a 78 VW bug convertible (Champagne Edition). My DGD went on a youth trip and when they got home, I picked her up in Matilda II (the bug). She was humiliated. She said I was becoming eccentric. She said driving a 34 year old convertible, wearing a big ole green sun hat, and having 2 dogs in the back seat in their car seats was eccentric. I told her that I didn't think so--only one of the dogs had on sun glasses. The other one just had on a hat. What's becoming of our kids today?????
