At first I thought it was something good, now I'm thinking it may be something bad.

Hoping for good!

In reply to Sine_Qua_Non:

wins the prize! if any of you assisted her in the selection or procurement please step forward so that I can thank you as the selection (a launch edition, which I had assumed were all accounted for) reeks of input from the hive.

So I'm coming out of treatment and there it is, backed into the first handicapped spot in the garage that we always walk past on our way out. I stop and tell swmboed that I hadn't yet seen one on the road and that she's need to bare with me while I take a few photos. She obliged, I snap a few, peak inside and am pleasantly surprised to confirm that it's a manual (due to the handicapped tag hanger). I compliment the owner for opting for the manual and thank her for allowing me to indulge in checking it out, when she asks if i'm even going to bother to sit in it?!?! My parents come walking up the ramp of the garage below and I suddenly realize what's going on

So fess up, who knew about this.
