Oh gosh, I'm sorry, Matt.

I must have forgotten how that worked. Let's see:

If you are a real American family man, you bring the whole tribe along when you go to pick one out.

Dad chooses make and model. Mom chooses the colors of the paint and upholstery and the kids check the seats for bounceability and make sure the cigarette lighter gets hot enough for branding.

Then the hands are shaken and the papers are signed and the whole load of you tools on home, little Mary Jane sticking her tongue out at the awestruck neighbor kids as Dad pulls into the driveway.


But if I did that today, the neighbors might get confused; they wouldn't be able to tell if I had just bought a new car, or rented one.
