She just started working recently. We have a 20 mile commute. Her office is 7blocks from mine.

When convenient, we'll carpool.

Guess which vehicle stays at home?

The Accord.

I have to ask...

Why the hell would you commute in the truck vs the car?

Is the Accord a shit box or something? Has it seen better days? Does it wreak of body odor?
