I could have used my parent's car at any time, but although it was a far superior car, the Celica felt better. "My" Celica, in all its "glory", was all mine. As you have noted in your blog, perhaps its time we jumped into the students "Celica's" and enjoyed the ride, rather than continuing to drive them around in our vehicles.John Prescottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898527418224949692.post-31635626910691950842011-06-11T00:29:26.317-07:002011-06-11T00:29:26.317-07:00Brilliant, buddy, brilliant.
