I have one fan today! Thanks Alex. I am thinking how "flat tire" is a close rhyme with "satire." I am sure some of my concepts will be more successful with this demographic than others.

Perhaps this Friday's blog, which was supposed to be a JOKE, fell flat as it were.

I need to learn how to express myself with greater precision. I meant (above) that "all Boomers do indeed want to feel young, and some express it through their car choice."

A good catch! Yes, some Boomers do indeed want to feel young and sometimes express it by their car choice. Maybe I was thrown off by the fact that during the time I worked at Honda R&D, the Honda Element was designed by Americans of the Slacker generation -- with final approval from Boomer age Japanese engineers :).
Interestingly, the first ads for the boxy Scion xb showed images of skateboarders wearing cutoffs.
