It doesn't have to be the hardest part.
Some days, it can be the best part.
Sure, if you're in a hurry it can be a bother. If it's the third time today, it can get old. But we work on our techniques for slipping away gracefully. Like the Queen of England, we learn how to wave to the crowds.
Who knew a dumb car (a dumb, fake car) would make me a celebrity?
I'm old enough to remember when these cars were just cars. No one noticed, or turned to look. They blended in better with the other rounded, swoopy cars of the day.
I'm still trying to figure out the magic draw of these cars today, though. If you show up in a brand new P-car, the little kids and grandads and soccer moms couldn't care less. In a Lambo or a Ferrari, you're that pretentious a-hole in the Lambo or the Ferrari.
Our cars aren't pretentious. They're like puppies. Everyone wants to pet them.
If you aren't married but want to be, you could do worse than drive one of these.
It really doesn't have to be the hardest part.
