We should all be so lucky

Last night after watching me stare open-mouthed at that GREAT WRX commercial bragging about that wonderful car's awards, my wife uttered these words:

Jee honey, you should get one of those.....

..and she didn't mean in PLACE of my beloved SVX.

I still have that image of that electric blue rally car sliding around a corner in the dirt.

She even commented on how the car corners with all FOUR wheels pulling it around. I think I NEED to take my SVX out in the dirt someday. She also suggested that I look for some kind of rally to go get all the 'speed out of my system'.

I had to explain that speed is something that cannot be 'get out'.

Married 12 years, met 19 years ago in high school and I still love her to pieces.

This is a fantastic argument for cloning.

That's awesome. My wife is very similar - just about smaller things since our discretionary income is still in kind of short supply.

That WRX commercial is cool, indeed. They've been using the same footage for over a year and that's just fine - the combination of sounds and sights say everything they need. It won't make you more attractive. It won't suddenly turn you into a spy or a rock star. It's a driver's car and it speaks for itself with no excess packaging required.

We "lucky" guys have it made, don't we.

Met 26 years ago, married 25 and she still calls me "friend" as well as "husband."

Um . . . . I don't quite go that far. Perhaps when we hit 40.

But, seriously, Harvey, congratulations on a long and happy marriage.
