And damn these car manufacturers with their idealistic TV commercials depicting their nicely polished, gleaming vehicles driving along a sunny coastal highway, windows down...sunroof open with the whole family smiling and laughing because their beautiful car makes life so much better than it really is.
When the reality is a slush, mud and bird crap covered car parked on a sketchy sidestreet in front of a neglected, rundown house while the neighbour's dog pisses on the tires and some kid playing road hockey bounces a puck off the fender.
