I'm Just Wondering...
Has anybody ever noticed how much a 1998 Toyota Camry looks like a Chevy Impala, especially when it's the same color? Neither did I until about the third time I walked up and tried to unlock my neighbor's Impala.
That's funny. I have that same 10 year old pine green Subaru station wagon that everyone else seems to have. I can't tell you how many times I've walked up to the wrong car.
I almost bought one of those Foresters. Yes, they are everywhere!
One day I went to pick my stepdaughter up at school in my old 1994 Corolla (the one that got wrecked in May) and realized I had parked it between three other almost identical Corollas. That one was popular too.
Or... it could be your age catching up with you... :-)
I drive a Ford Freestyle, which is a family car. There aren't that many around here. The other day one that looked EXACTLY like mine saw me and the guy driving honked and waved. What a nerd. Or maybe I knew him? :-)

That's why I miss my ginormous white Crown Vic wagon, no way on earth to miss that bad boy.
ReplyDeleteTrue enough -- it's amazing how many miles these can accumulate.
ReplyDeleteI think there are quite a few cars that resemble each other these days. Must be the Japanese influence.
