dark horse
i think cam is enjoying his car research. we spend a lot of time talking about cars. we have dealers leaving polite messages on our answering machine at home. one day cam startled me by mentioning (very offhand, very nonchalant) that he had test-driven an acura tl at lunch. at lunch?
just yesterday cam brought up the audi a3. i had never heard of it, so i googled it. much to my surprise, i saw it was very wagony. "it's a five-door," cam said. hm. my weakness. today we stopped by a local dealer and picked up a brochure and peeked inside a showroom model. black leather seats on the one we saw. the very first car i've ever seen with contrast stitching on the upholstery. the salesman lost big points right away by essentially ignoring me and talking only to cam. yeah, cam is the one who knows what he's talking about in this regard, but you know, guy, you could have at least introduced yourself to me.
the a3 is a nice little car. this weekend i expect cam will want to drive one and that should settle this burgeoning crush once and for all. if it's a good drive, it becomes a contender. if it's a bad one, it'll sit on the side with the acura tl, not to be revisited in this car-buying cycle...
