• Jimbo’s New Ride

  Oh, it’s so sad to see little ones grow up. As some of you may know, my station wagon, The White Lightning, reached the tender age of 16 a few months ago. Now that it was old enough to take care of itself, I felt it was time to let it go and accomplish its dreams. That is why, yesterday, it went off to assist in finding a cure for autism. In a final act of teenage individualism, it threw off all of its possessions – mats, pens, coins, CDs, and all matters of detritus – and disappeared into the sunset. Well, okay, it was picked up mid-afternoon, but a sunset makes for a better image.

  Fortunately, the Jimbo family has a new arrival in the form of a steadfast, sporty 4-door, dubbed The Corporate Cruiser. It doesn’t have quite as much spunk as the White Lightning (for one: its AC works), but… well, that may be for the better. I especially love the spoiler and body kit, which just ooze manliness. It’s also a stick shift. I don’t think I could drive an automatic, as there would likely be a foot-shaped hole in the floor next to the brake where my foot continually slammed down to press an invisible clutch. Hey, if it lets me feel like Frank Martin while sitting in DC traffic, all the better. Now, if any of my attractive female readers would like to come to visit and pose scantily clad with my car, I can take some more photos.
