How long have I been thinking about having children? Almost three years, at least. How can I say that? Because of the car I drive.

I picked a car that I thought I could put (my) children in, without folding them into the boot.

I figured I would be better off buying a car that would be sexy and sporty now, but also be stylish and safe for when I have to be a dad. I actually pictured myself strapping in some five year old while wearing daddy/daggy pants and some kind of “kiss the cook” shirt.

That’s why I don’t have an RX-8.

Also because I couldn’t see the point of spending that much money on something that is unused most of the time.
