Princess Kathy Gets Her Wish

My dear friend Kathy whose topical humor appears in my signature drives a Sebring convertible. She loves a convertible & won't drive anything else.

When her AC failed over a year ago I questioned why someone in a convertible needed air conditioning. Isn't that the whole point of driving with the top down? Well, it was never quite fixed correctly.

When my 2006 had 12v battery problems I said it was acting like a Chrysler. When my 2010's shifter jammed I said it was doing it's Chrysler impersonation. I told her she couldn't park next to me because I didn't want my car to pick up any bad habits. After all, I'd rather push a Prius than drive a Chrysler but its a Toyota so I won't have to.

So Kathy was in fine form as Toyota's woes in general & the Prius' specifically were spread across the news culminating in the prophetic "I'd rather push a Chrysler than drive a Prius."

After 10 years (that's 140 years in Prius years) her Sebring bled all over the payment and is now doing its impersonation of a lawn ornament.

So, Princess, be careful what you ask for; you just might get it.

BTW, her announcement that her car died kicked the crap out of my 2010's record tank announcement.
