Idiot Indicators

We're off to clean the car. The entire family joins in, because since we all participate in soiling it, it seems fair that we all get a chance to see just how much time and energy it takes to clean it again. We do this two or three times a year and luckily we only own one car. Truly, having two or more cars in your driveway makes a slave out of you. From licensing to replacing light bulbs, a car can keep you fairly busy. Why on earth are cars status symbols?
