To the Editor:

I read Lynne MacKnight’s column, “Cruising on the Road and Seeing Red” (8/29), and had to respond.

I’m an old lady and have had many cars. My first red one was a 2001 sports convertible that I loved to drive, especially when accompanied by my dog, Jake, a golden-mix, who would sit beside me in his Snoopy-style bomber cap and enjoy the view.
