1) "Oh no!" :-) I think I would do two things. Firstly, try to find someone to drive me fast as a passenger as often as possible in a variety of interesting cars, and secondly try to find another hobby.
2) This is, indeed, a tricky bugger. If I'm honest, I think it's reasonably certain that I can at least partly blame my degree on OxIRC. Also, if I had not discovered OxIRC so early, I would have college rather than OxIRC friends predominantly. Having said that, I am in a good place now, and while I regret not having made a better go at biochemistry, I have a wonderful girlfriend, great friends and a good job, so I think I can count myself lucky, all told.
3) I'm not sure if I can pass judgement on this for a single car because, well, most cars were designed by someone doing their best to fill the specification, be it a beautiful sports car or a cheap solid runabout for the masses. Going on looks alone, I think the Fiat Multipla is one of my least favourite, but I hear it's practical and spacious, so I won't hold that against it. Least well-meaningly conceived, I suppose, would have to be the particularly offensively big SUVs such as the Lincoln Navigator - probably not actually that good offroad.
