Happy Thoughts at Home

[triadruid]

Today's happiness is centered around my ridiculously competent car. Nothing to look at, and a manual transmission to boot which means I'm the only one in my house who likes driving it; but the ability to manage snow and hills that make trucks cry, excellent gas mileage, and improbable hauling capacity, makes me smile. Especially during Snownami 2008...

Hey now, my car manages snow just fine as long as she's got a good driver. It's the toboggan Saturn that's skeery.

I think you may be the only one in the house who *can* drive your car, unless K drives stick and I've missed it. If someone's life depended on me driving them to the hospital in your car I could probably manage it, but I'm not sure I could promise that you'd be able to drive it away again.

Good that we're both happy with our respective cars, I reckon :)

I can, in fact, drive a stick. I don't particularly enjoy it, but I can do it.

Yep; you'll notice I said "likes" not "can", and I avoided any talk of Corollas. ;)

Having driven your car, I definitely agree: It's a wonderful vehicle.
