Let it be recorded that Frank is now the proud owner of a new Honda Civic Hybrid with a navigational computer, apparently the only such car for sale anywhere in the New England area.
Thank you, Alfredo and Honda Cars of Boston, which is in Everett, but never mind. I’d also like to immortalize Frank’s 10-minute technique for selecting a replacement car: |
BETSY TO FRANK: Look, I found the car issue of Consumer Reports.
FRANK TO BETSY: (Ten minutes later) I want a Honda Civic Hybrid with a navigational computer.
BETSY TO FRANK: I have a Honda Accord Hybrid. You might want one of those, they’re a little bigger.
FRANK TO BETSY: (Genuinely puzzled why I would suggest this.) But the Honda Civic has better gas mileage. And it’s also cheaper!
So Frank drove back to NH in my Accord. A few days later, I followed him in a new Honda Civic–which does get better gas mileage.
But I’m less evolved than Frank, and I like my own car.
