An observation

Isn’t it funny when men buy girly cars and try to make them manly? By girly car I mean any of the following:

• Volkswagen Beetle
• Mini Cooper
• Mazda Miata
• Volkswagen Rabbit (regular or convertible)

Out running an errand for work today when I saw a guy driving a Beetle, and to try to make it more manly, he chose the electric blue one, and got these fancy-schmancy wheels rimmed in the same blue as the paint. And I laughed. And thought, “Dude, it’s still a girly car.”
