I intermittently take out my daughter's car while she's in Europe to keep it running happily. Every time I laugh at the stuff in it. In addition to the dashboard Jesus on a spring, there's a fossil hanging from the rearview mirror (ILLEGALLY!), and several tchotchkes which I think are Pokemon-related. Combined with its bumper stickers, people must think I'm much cooler than I am.
Which also reminds me that in high school I drove a 1980 red Ford Escort. This was a very common car, and one or more of the other people driving one was infinitely more popular than me, because when my mom or I drove it we got a lot of cheerful waves and beeps to say hello. The stolen valor was a little embarrassing but I still enjoyed it.
