If you ever get a chance watch the South Park Episode “Smug”. Kyle’s dad gets a prius (although in SP they are labeled as “Pious”), and starts acting well, smug. It’s contagious.
Will try to watch it. The grandson also holds a pretty consistent position that if a guy is driving an “uncool” car, it is probably because he obviously didn’t ask his kids for their opinion, the kids are all girls or his wife picked it out. Fav thing to do is to try to get Grams to take him for a walk through all the car lots!
