You are a . . .

My son B and I were trading creative insults the other day for laughs. We had some good ones like, “you are the little hole in the ground you don’t see until you twist your ankle”, or “you are that little piece of plastic wrap that you can’t throw away because the static cling keeps is stuck to your finger.” In the end he won hands down with “You lackluster automobile.” I may be a biased parent, but I think that was a brilliant way to sum up so many subtle ideas and feelings in two short words.
Couldn’t you have chosen some other vehicle to illustrate “You lackluster automobile”? Like a Vega or Nova, or a K-car? What is that Beetle, a ‘67? It’s kinda hard to tell with the tall grass.

Yes, I agree it is sad to portray the fine old Beetle as ‘lackluster’ , but it was a photo that I took, and therefore owned. Don’t know what year it was. I went to a field of old Beetles to try to find a seatbelt for my ‘66, but sadly most of them were newer then mine.
