My car is an Acura. For some reason, they assume that just because you drive an Acura, you have money. Hello?? If I had a *new* Acura you could assume I have money. My car is 10 years old.
I guess it could be worse. I still remember a road trip I took with my parents when I was about 12. This was in my father's 2-year-old Oldsmobile. We drove cross country from New York to L.A. and back. In Oklahoma City (on the way west) the transmission decided to die. Did I mention the car was only 2 years old??
We had it patched up (blowing half a day in OKC without wheels), and my stubborn father decided we would keep going. We stopped at 5 more garages en route. Oh yes, and the air conditioning cut out too. Did I mention it was August?
It was after that, that my parents bought their first Acura... followed by their second Acura, my current car
It's a tribute to Japanese engineering that the darn thing's running at all, the way I drive it
