<p>One of the supermarkets where I shop is right over the Mass Pike, which means that you have to climb stairs to get to it.&#0160; That&#39;s fine coming in, but it&#39;s inconvenient to lug your groceries to your car.&#0160; Thankfully, they&#39;ll load them up for you.&#0160; I&#39;m lazy by nature, so I LOVE that, but it&#39;s also great because you get to peek inside other people&#39;s cars (I&#39;m also nosy by nature).</p>

<p>Anyways, the other day I find myself ogling the car in front of me.&#0160; I was admiring the roominess, the color, the fact that it looked so luxuriously comfortable.</p>

<p>Then they closed the trunk and - <em>I&#39;m embarrassed to even say it</em>- I realized that I was ogling a <em>Chrysler</em> <em>Pacifica</em>.&#0160; I don&#39;t care what Chrysler (<em>I was drooling over a Chrysler - dear God make it stop!</em>) calls it, the Pacifica is a <em>minivan</em>!&#0160; Gag!</p>

<p><em>But it <u>is</u> kinda cute...right?</em></p>

<p>Yes folks.&#0160; The transformation is complete.&#0160; I need a moment to digest this.</p>

<p>....</p>

<p>Before I had my baby my dream car was something completely different:</p>

<p>Meeeeow!&#0160; So sexy!&#0160; So feline!&#0160; So old-school Glamour !<br /> </p>

<p>It&#39;s not that I wasn&#39;t going to have kids.&#0160; That was always in the plan.&#0160; But it never occurred to me that a small little person would take up so much ROOM.&#0160; I have the minimum amount of baby gear possible in my trunk (a stroller and two blankets.&#0160; And a rain hood..and one toy...I&#39;m pretty sure that&#39;s it...) yet I can&#39;t fit more than 3 bags of groceries (or other *ahem* purchases).&#0160; </p>

<p>So my dream car has evolved from a sexy little Jaguar to this:</p>

<p>So safe!&#0160; So large!&#0160; So sensibly Swedish!</p>

<p>(Did anybody click on that second thumbnail?&#0160; What <em>is</em> that thing under the car?&#0160; Could it be a...<em>Jaguar</em>?&#0160; Subliminal advertising at work?&#0160; &quot;No,&quot; you say, &quot;you freak, it&#39;s obviously a wolf&quot;?&#0160; Well, that doesn&#39;t make any sense either, does it?&#0160; And why are all these cars photographed in strange lunar landscapes?)</p>

<p>And because I haven&#39;t humiliated myself enough, I&#39;ll answer the obvious question:&#0160; What do I drive?</p>

<p>I drive a car so very practical and sensible, the likes of which I&#39;d never seen until I moved to New England.&#0160; And if I had, I never noticed it, which kind of illustrates my point beautifully.&#0160; This car was named by Click and Clack (love them!) the #2 <a href="http://www.cartalk.com/content/features/Gay-Lesbian/gay-chick2.html" target="_blank">ultimate lesbian car</a>.&#0160; Don&#39;t get me wrong, I like it, especially when we get a storm.&#0160; It&#39;s just not big enough.&#0160; Unlike a roomy Pacifica.</p>

<p>I&#39;m stopping now before I completely exhaust my (rapidly depleting) Hipness Reserves.</p>
