"Is that Pop-Pop's Matchbox car?"

I stopped just short of saying, "Well, I think Granny actually refers to it as an impractical, impulsive deathtrap" and just said, "Yes, that IS Pop-Pop's Matchbox car! Let's go check it out!

By way of (Dad's) explanation, this is his midlife crisis car. You know, not counting the Miata he got 7 or 8 years back. Details, details. Anyway, best part #1: Dad's confused squint trying to figure out (via manual) how to open the roof:

Best part #2: Where's Cody? Mom wasn't kidding when she said you pretty much ride on the road.


Things started to come apart when Cordelia got in. Cody promptly exclaimed, "I am all done now!"

She lost interest when she realized there were no snacks involved.
