Goodbye Old Friend

We said goodbye to an old friend on Sunday, trading in our 1999 Mercury Cougar for a car with a little more family value.
The new car is pretty sweet. It’s a 2007 Acura TL Type-S. It has 4 doors, making it a lot easier to get the baby in and out, but it also has 286 horsepower, so it gets us from point A to point B pretty quickly. Our new car talks to us and asks us questions. We’ve named her Susie, after Elaine’s alter-ego on an episode of Seinfeld. I don’t know what one has to do with the other, it just seemed like a good idea. Anyway, Susie, you have big tires to fill; your predecesor was a great car for eight years. Here’s hoping you can stick around at least that long!
