Gold Star for Careful Observation :-) We've got to have fun with DSGVO, otherwise it will drive everyone crazy.
My wife and I share a lot of the same interests and pastimes, but like you, she has little interest in autos. Once someone asked her what kind of auto we have and she answered, "It's a blue one." Interestingly, Jaguars are the only cars she ever notices or comments about ;-)
LOL, I can understand your wife so well;-)
I've never had my own car before. Here in vienna, public transport is so well developed that you don't need one.
But oldtimers are something special, especially Jaguars. ;-)
