“GAVE UP”

Just found this on my iPhone.  I’m thinking this was taken back in December, somewhere in the city.  Definitely a male driver behind the wheel, which properly contextualizes the plate.  I really hope I never become “that guy.”

This makes me laugh.  A lot.  I made fun of my cousin Natalie when she caved and bought a mini-van (that exact one, actually), but she swears that it will happen to me too:  the day when practicality takes precedence over style.  I think she’s wrong (for me anyway).  I have lots of things I’ll compromise on. For example, I’ve recently switched to flats (for safety and comfort.  [I’ve been clumsy lately]), and while I look better in heels (short legs), it’s a sacrifice I’m ok with because there are TONS of cute pairs of flats.  Just like there are TONS of other options besides mini-vans!  (Hello, crossovers, small, fuel-efficient SUVs, etc).  I will admit, doors that open and close by themselves and an entrance low enough for kids to get in and out of on their own sound tempting, I just don’t think I could do it.
