I make my point total to be a whopping 28 points
My reasoning is thus:
An easy full 20 from the OP
+ 2 points:
I once had the pleasure of choosing between 3 television channels.
Only 2 of which showed kids TV for 3 hours each day.
One of those hours was a static of this psycho girl and her creepy clown:
And half an hour watching some random guy reading out birthday cards. Riveting:

Had a red one.....pride and joy riding in adidas t shirt and trainers to the park to play volley parry with a tango. All spiralled downhill once I started picking at the seat and handlebar padThis was my weapon of choice. If you bent the mudguards back to touch the tyres you could get that pretend motorbike noise. The mudguards did not last long lol. I can still feel the blisters on my hands from the handle bar grips.

When I look at this car, I think your father would rather have a daughter than a son.My mom always refused to give me a motorbike, and my dad promised me a car at 18

There is indeed some truth in this.When I look at this car, I think your father would rather have a daughter than a son.
That said, this car earned him quite a few « temporary « daughters visiting the house

That was my first car (in exactly that color and features), not necessarily a masculine vehicle eitherThere is indeed some truth in this.
That said, this car earned him quite a few « temporary « daughters visiting the house
However, the girl I met back then with that car is still married to me today.
Talking about first cars now? Ok, excluding the ones I used before having my own, mine was like this one: Renault 5 "supercinque"
