The Minivan

JB was complaining about her Honda Odyssey. She has 3 kids and it proves to be a practical option but she is sick of it now. I think she associates her minivan with her kids, and the noise, fighting, luggage, cartoon dvds arguments etc that go with it. Her husband – a smart man – thinks they shouldn’t get a new car till the kids are young enough to set the leather seats on fire. Since advice and burnt coffee is served free in this country, I advised her that when the time comes she should get something funky like maybe a BMW roadster.

Me: Get a Z4. It’s a BMW so the performance is obviously awesome. Obviously you husband will love it. The best part is that it has only 2 seats. No room for anything or anyone else! Perfect!
JB (dreamily): Yeah! Just 2 seats. Perfect for me and my bag.
