Transcript:
Cathy: I will not be one of those aging baby boomers who buys a cushy sedan and tries to pretend it's a sports car! Mr. Pinkley: Of course you won't. Cathy: I refuse to embrace push buttons and giant digital displays as "high tech", instead of the blatant admission of laziness and blindness that they are! Mr. Pinkley: Of course you do. Cathy: Let my generation cruise-control into old age! I refuse to give in to.........Oh, my...This does feel good... Mr. Pinkley: To reawaken the rebel, there's room for a triple espresso in the cup holder.

Believe it or not, I actually own this particular strip — it’s in my Cathy 20th Anniversary collection!

Why’d Cathy become black and white in the last two panels? Is that supposed to mean the windows are tinted?

My brain is still asleep. I got nothing. Maybe later.
KFG not just yet, no. Maybe in a few minutes. :-)
Morning Susan arriving sooner than later. Morning lightenup arriving later than sooner :-D
Hi MOM!legaleagle48 over 12 years ago
And I thought I was the only one waiting for that particular model — I hate driving; in fact, I don’t even have a driver’s license (because I never bothered to get one!)

I’ve never had so much as a driving lesson! With my eyesight, they’d never let me loose with a licence. But the advantage is that while my OH is concentrating on the road and the other traffic, I can enjoy the scenery.

Oh just go with what feels right, Cathy! The baloney about being afraid to get old is ridiculous. I have more respect for the wise elders than I do for the foolish kids most days.I think it’s funny how Cathy loses her color when she’s in the car… LOL!!Hey KFG! That’s so cool that you’re in Chile! I’ve heard it’s beautiful there… have fun!Hello to legaleagle, Shyygirl27, Susan, AnonaMona and soonergal!Hi Aaron!! Did your brain wake up yet?

I think the salesperson looks a lot like Cathy´s financial advisor. In that case he should not sell her a car!
Have a good day all of you!

When our 13-year-old Honda Accord finally gives out someday, something like this will probably be our next car! What the Hell?!?! No shame here on our part wanting a more comfortable-feeling car to ride around in as we’re getting a little older every year!!! ;-)
HI, AARON & DR. BILLY!!!!!Love you both! K.F.G.: I know you’ve only just arrived in Chile today but I hope you’re having fun.

Hope everyone had a really nice weekend!!!B/t/w: If anyone wants my 2-cents worth regarding yesterday’s “Cathy” when it comes to asking for cash and other such stuff from your wedding guests . . . I left my opinion just a moment ago on yesterday’s board.NE1956 over 12 years ago
Goodnight lindz.coop, hendelca (missing you lately), serenasakitty, and late night kittycatpawsare. Turning in early. Just off the phone with my Billy. We both cried a bit. Okay now, but we definitely belong together and not hours and hours apart for six weeks. :-(

Hi Cathyites!! My husband buys the sedans, I drive a Mini (and I don’t like the new Bully Minis). I’ve always been attracted to small cars that use a lot less gas. It’s quite comfortable, and since I’m usually the only one in it, it works fine for all the driving I have to do (25 miles to work). We actually drove it to South Carolina back when it was new (it’s almost 8 years old w/ 124,000 miles now).
Glad you got to Chile safely KFG.
Hang in there Aaron (and Billy) — only 5 more weeks now!!!
