Squirrel asks, "How come you bought a Honda anyway? Did you get a good deal on it? Did you buy it new? "
Let me answer those in order. (a) It is a Toyota. (b) It is not my car. (c) See previous answer.
Reader Squirrel asks, "Did you teach your pet monkey to golf or did he already know how to golf?"
Ah, Squirrel, Squirrel. It is a Chimp and not generally classified as a monkey, but a great ape. It is not my chimp and besides I can't even teach me to play golf, let alone a chimp.
Reader Squirrel asks, "Does your Honda get good gas mileage?"
Squirrel, if by my Honda, you mean the lovely Mrs. Sneed's Honda Pilot, then the answer is that it gets so-so mileage. If you mean our 1999 Honda Civic, then yes, it gets terrific mileage. If you mean the car in the photo, I would remind you that it is a Toyota and not my car.
Keep those questions coming folks. I do so enjoy answering them.
Speaking of cars, I am known for my disdain for the PT Cruiser, among the stupidest looking cars on the road. If you own a PT Cruiser, I both apologize for being offensive and sympathize with you about what ails you.
Chrysler intended for the PT Cruiser to be targeted at young males. I'm not sure who did their market research though, because the young male car buyer turned up his nose at this stink bomb. Fortunately, there was a market for the PT Cruiser, despite Chrysler's misguided marketing strategy.
PT Cruisers tend to be purchased by the late middle-aged and elderly drivers, perhaps as a throw back to their salad days. It has also enjoyed a better-than-expected reception from single women.
As garish as the PT Cruiser is in its unaltered state, some people try to customize it, with hilarious results. Not unlike lipstick on a pig.
I spied this obscenity in the parking lot of the hospital this morning when I took Son Sneed for his treatment. It prominently displayed a handicapped placard, most likely proving my point about the elderly and the PT Cruiser.
Fender skirts?

Agreed. It's like a bad kit car.
Not like your Toyota; that's a sweet ride. And thanks for supporting our troops.
Why are squirrels so inquisitive, anyway?
I have to disagree about the PT Cruiser. I actually think they're kind of cool looking...very retro. But I'm not crazy about that particular customization. I thought we all got past fake wood panels when station wagons went out of style??
That's funny.
(I also admit to liking the PT Cruiser, especially in sparkly candy-apple red. But as a middle-aged single female, I probably can't help it. I would never buy one, though. At least not unless they became supremely dependable and started getting awesome gas mileage. Well, I might buy a little toy model of one to look at.)
I can't stand the PT cruisers, but I know not why--perhaps they mock classic cars of yore... I saw one yesterday while walking along, and they I saw a not so nice person getting into it! Of course, HE would buy a PT cruiser!
Is your chimp a BONOBO? He looks pretty smart.
I'm sorry I thought your snazzy Toyota was a Honda.
I meant then instead of they.
I dislike PT Cruisers. And they are gas hogs. They look funny/ ugly / fugly. Your Toyota is nicer. Don't buy a PT cruiser.
SUCH a bad idea.
