Reversed Mid-life Crisis

I think Andy might have just had a reversed mid-life crisis. Instead of cashing in all his chips for an exotic sports car, he just traded in his Pathfinder for a Toyota Matrix. For those not familiar with the Matrix, the car’s target market is females (ages 16-24), and you can usually spot them parked outside of a sorority house or high school cheerleading practice. So don’t be confused if you drive by and think we have a full time teenage nanny or that we super-sized Alex’s Cozy Coupe and painted it blue. It is just my environmentally conscious (and fiscally conservative) husband doing his part to beat the macho oil game.

Interestingly, and despite the size, there is plenty of room for car seats and future carpooling. Guess he is also a kid-friendly car consumer.
