I love reading car reviews. Maybe that's why I took on this gig. I grab a cup of coffee and settle in. Every time I forget to find a nice, stable place to put that mug o' coffee. And that's bad, because I laugh and spill.
Yes, car reviews can be some of the best humor writing I've read. I love how TheCarConnection.com sums up the good points about the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse, which mostly point to how comfy it is to drive. TCC also points out that the Traverse is a very well-built car, which means it won't annoy me as much as my 1999 Chevy Venture. Thank goodness.
In all, I think TheCarConnection.com gives the Traverse a fair review. But, all in good fun, here are some of the strange thoughts that pop into my head as I'm reading:
"Quiet interior"
Ugh, please, no. A little road noise can help buffer the non-stop joke telling or the 1,000th rendition of that Jonas Brothers song. It had better have a great stereo in it so I can drown out some of the not-so-pleasant sounds of the road trip.
"Heavy weight leads to leisurely acceleration"
Sorry, but this one just made me picture all those hostile car line drivers, cutting each other off with much more capable vehicles. Poor Traverse, you'd be left behind as the polite one. Seriously, though, I wonder if the driving test was done empty, or if it gets worse with a full load of kids and gear. That would be scary.
