On our sister site, I wrote a paean to a dad toting around his two kids, geeking over grail cars that usually exist only in pictures. I was touched by the moment, and the similarity to my own existence. But, it’s not all flowers and sunshine, for I saw the guy pull up.
of course I was gracious, and would never think to condescend about a common Taurus among automotive glitterati. So yeah, I’m a dick at the same time as I was poetic.
