Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
The close quarters of a car’s cabin make for an ideal debating arena.
Read it online here. This is my 10th column.
Now you’re trapped in a fast moving, confined space that has filled up with that oppressive feeling of “Ugh”.
I made the cover again. Gahhhed on the street when I saw. The novelty and newness, of holding something I made in my hands, IN REAL LIFE, it still hasn’t worn off.

Broke in a brand new Acura ILX.
No dramatics; I turned it over to a 4-digit odometer YA buddy.
The Acura ILX is their brand-new model that’s entry-level luxury.
The evening was geared towards men, (no more jeans and sneakers fellas, get used to blazers and suit jackets). How I was also invited was because I don’t know, I was just glad.
A 4 course meal, while etiquette coach Linda Allan reminded us of proper dining etiquette; she was, and it was, awesome.
At the evening’s conclusion, we were handed keys to a brand new ILX.
There are 6 different versions of the car, including their first-ever Hybrid, congratulations Acura!
Bolstered and stitched seats, crisp and ergonomic trimming, a quick and reliable engine, a 15GB hard drive for music, all features here: Acura ILX
Starting at $27,790.
I wrote about the experience in this week’s, ‘Keri on Driving’ column. Please read for tips I learned from Linda, they’re good reminders.

“… the best part of the evening was the sentiment: A little more decorum all around is never a bad thing.”

A handful of ways to change your perspective on being stuck in traffic.

Getting worked up about rush hour traffic makes no sense. How else is rush hour supposed to be? You knew it was there, and still you pointed your car at it and drove right in.
Made it to the cover this week! I like when they say “our.”
It’s been so fun being part of a team, email threads and group jokes; blogging’s a solo sport, you know? I’m 7 weeks in now, and have a not-bad rhythm and system happening.

My closing line was removed, I’d said:
If you have a fancy car and you can’t handle it, boy do you look dumb. It’s like wearing heels you can’t walk in, ruins the whole outfit.
Because it does.
What if you have to give your boss a ride?
Or there’s someone cute, “ahh ya, climb inside my garbage pit..”
You wouldn’t sit in your living room surrounded by fast food bags, so why is that acceptable in a car?
Also, the 3rd paragraph.
