WHAT I KNOW ABOUT CARS

Published by homemaker under Current Events Edit This

Some are big.  Some are medium and some are small.  They come in black, silver, white or red (usually).  Nowadays, they all look pretty much the same.  I can tell an SUV from a convertible but not a Honda from a BMW.

This makes my husband and son a little crazy because they know EVERYTHING about automobiles.  When they are talking horsepower, gear ratios or hydraulic fluid, it all sounds like “blah, blah, blah” to me.

Do I care if it’s a GS, a 280Z or an XYZ?  Nope.  As long as it starts when I turn the  key, hauls garbage to the dump as well as  butt on a five hour trip, has heated seats and gets good mileage, I don’t care if it won at Daytona or lost at Le Mans.  Just as long as it gets me where I want to go in relative comfort, I’m happy.

All that other stuff just doesn’t matter.  Sorry guys.
