You know, I’ve noticed you can just about buy any ol’ car these days to get the spoiler, as it seems to be a default for most cars. My ’98 Toyota Camry, for example, is definitely no flashy or fast car, but it has a spoiler. So did the ’02 Pontiac Grand Am I had before that, a car I often joked was trying hard to be “sportier” than it actually ever really was. :P
The first new car I ever bought was a Toyota Corolla with an extra-special Sport Package. A 4 to 1 gear ratio in first gear, five forward gears (so, a “five-on-the-floor”), 4-cylinder hemi engine, mag wheels, racing stripes, spoiler, and the tach out on the hood. It was beautiful! The first night I had it, a guy at work with an Opal GT wanted to drag me. It took a lot of convincing, but I agreed. The guy that flagged us off got pelted with pebbles as I smoked the tires on take-off! I was beating him handily when I finally came to my senses and backed off, letting him win, and hopefully keeping my poor tight new engine healthy. Some time later, on a lonely stretch of highway, I got it up to 104 mph.☺

When Annie complains about the smell, you know you have issues. Just think what it’s like to be in Dad’s position…

Note: Dougie has never looked so happy in this strip. Dad needs to spoiler him more.

First I thought she meant she felt exhausted from listening to them.
