    Now Elly should put John in the kitchen, and drive back to the dealership, hand over the keys, tell the salesman, “As if,” and then drive home in their car.

    As a dentist, he should be making fairly good money. If he can afford it as a second car, why not go for it. He earned it.

    Get a Nissan Maxima SE. My 2002 goes 0-60 in 6 seconds, gets 0.80 on a 300ft skidpad (driving faster and faster in a circle until loss of traction), seats five and has a large trunk. A Porsche Boxter gets 5.7 seconds and 0.88

    Stopped, foot on brake, left blinker on. Rear ended at 55 MPH. Our vehicle totaled, not a scratch on us. If not in SUV: dead.

    Heck, I’d have to get a stick shift just to keep my wife from wanting to drive it. I have to be my own voice of reason when it comes to cars.

    I had to trade a mustang in for an SUV when I became a mommy. Now I’m counting down the years (8 down with 10 more to go) before I can jump back into a Mustang or even a Camaro again!

    All my life a car has been four wheels and an engine; now, the 6000hp electric locomotives I used to “drive” before I retired, at 100mph legally, THAT WAS FUN! (and I got paid to do it)

    Didn’t Elly recently (in cartoon time) go thru something like this with her writing arc? As I remember, he supported her in her “crisis.”

    John, you can’t afford the price you would have to pay for that car. And I’m not just talking dollars.

    Mine was an 84 Lotus Esprit Turbo. I had it for 8 years. Yes, we did have a kid. She loved it when I took her to school!

    In 1977 We went to A German car dealership looking for a new car. I wanted A Porsche 914. SWIMBO said where can we put the baby there are only two bucket seats. We ended up with a VW Sirocco it soothed my hurt feelings a little.

    The man works hard for a living. Let him have the car. I have been reading this strip for many, many moons, &, I have the books, but I have not seen this storyline! How refreshing!

    1984 Pontiac Fiero. Loved it until the first time one of the headlights wouldn’t go up. And I did have a few choice words when the belt running the alternator and water pump broke on a fall evening returning from a football game 100 miles away.

    Better than a convertible in North Texas, only 20-30 days a year with the top down. The rest too hot, too cold, or raining.
