Friday I gently teased my friend Ben about his new Honda sedan. "Honda driver" is just not part of his self-image. He'd really have preferred to buy another Audi, but he did the responsible thing and got a sensible, boring family car instead.
Tuesday we took our Taurus in because it was leaking coolant.
Today we bought a minivan -- a Honda, as fate would have it -- because it's just not worth doing $1200 worth of repairs on a car valued at $1900. Not when the mechanic says that this is just the beginning.
"Minivan driver" is not part of my self image either.
Damn it.
