About ten years ago, I dated a woman who had Achondroplasia in her forearms, hands, and feet. She was 4’11” with short arms and tiny hands. She drove a red automatic Del Sol. Coincidentally, at the same time, my wife (edit: Who I met four and a half years ago) had a red 5-speed Del Sol.
The woman I dated called her car, “Tiny Dancer.”

Took me a few reads to realize you weren’t cheating...
At least I'll assume that :) You might want to address that wording.

A couple years back I spent some time educating myself on the medical causes and types of dwarfism. Only trouble is, it’s not much in the public consciousness or knowledge base, so when you use words like
achondroplasia
to describe actors or whatever people look at you like you’ve grown an extra eye.

Had to look Achondroplasia up. You were fating a little person, right?

Not a little person - the disorder only affected her feet, hands, and arms.
