I was just sitting on the loo (a place that seems to promote random thoughts) and I remembered a conversation with DH last year and I laughed until I wheezed all over again. I was looking for a new car and wanted electric if I could find one that I liked. I looked at an eNiro in the showroom. I felt that the boot wasn't big enough, I would be able to fit the dog's crate into it but not much luggage with it. The salesman suggested that if we only put both the dog and luggage into the car for holiday trips then we could put a roof box on for the couple of times a year that we needed it. I was talking about it with DH later and mentioned the roof box, he looked at me for a moment and said "I don't think the dog would like being in a roof box".
It still makes me lol now.
A few months later I had bought a car, a plug in hybrid estate not an SUV. I've had low to the ground cars before but I was much younger then so I struggled a bit but thought I hid the struggle well. DH works from home and I park directly in front of the study window. One evening he was watching Thunder Force on his computer, which is a rubbish comedy film, and he was nearly falling off his chair with laughter. I said that the reviews hadn't found it all that funny and he said "It's not, but they're trying to get out of a Lambourgini and it's just like you getting out of your car."
