I don't get the point of doing that to a Ka. Is it really worth it? Did you buy the Ka with a driving style that would lead you to want to adjust the handling and performance? It doesn't seem like the right car to buy in the first place if so?
ISTR reading stuff like this that you've said before - a few times. Sorry, but you *are* playing the game - you're just playing it by different parameters that *you* have made up. You seem to be the one most in need of some reason to feel smug over the guys who have chosen BMWs.
And incidentally, giving your car a name is surely a *very* feminine (I know of various people that do it and without exception, they are all women), thing to do? And even then, calling it Kermit because it's green (I presume there are no other similarities?!), is rather naff also. Quite frankly if I met a bloke in business who told me he drove a green Ka that he called Kermit, I'd struggle to take them seriously..! I'm not trying to be nasty here, I'm just being honest and frank, which you might not get from your colleagues.
