A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Office…

Carolyn’s already done a great job of describing things on her blog at www.daftmusings.com, so I’ll defer to her for the story. The Cliff Notes version: something about a taxi cab up ahead; the car in front of me slammed on his brakes; I slammed on mine and felt happy for about a second that I managed to stop in time...but the two trucks in back of me didn’t manage the same trick.

So anyway, I suddenly find myself in the market for a new car. I’m looking for something with four doors and a hatchback—not too flash, but preferably not a station wagon (I just turned 40 and my ego couldn’t handle it). Oh! And I suddenly find myself less obsessed with fuel economy and a bit more concerned with crash safety...

Any suggestions?
