New Toy

A few years ago, as my car, a 2000 Honda Odyssey, was getting older, my wife wanted me to get some nice used car that looked kind of classy. Sort of like my neighbor, who always has a slightly used Mercedes.  


"Hmm!" I said, "I want a Tesla". "No Way. You don't need a Tesla", she said. "OK, then I'll just drive that Odyssey forever". Well, fast forward a couple of years. I kept driving the Odyssey, the range on the Tesla got better, my wife saw a decked out Tesla, that she thought looked pretty nice, maybe better than a slightly used Mercedes, my little investment in Tesla stock has appreciated nicely, my Honda Odyssey hit 200,000 miles and it was my 67th birthday.

So on the night of my birthday, I ordered a Tesla. And here it is, in the parking lot at Duke parked next to another Tesla. Mine's the blue one.

I think it looks pretty nice.
