The car

This summer in Denmark a young man gave me the keys to the Diesel Toyota Corrola, then he took me out for a test drive to teach me the finer points of driving a modern car.

It's got a gearbox, a stickshift, a dashboard, a cockkpit;
It goes into 5th gear, no fear;
Sure Joe, we have a turbo, fog lights, so we can see the streetlights
We got a CD player for sound bites.

We have seat warmers for cold mornings
we have a super sonic back up warning signal system
studded snow tires and please don't forget the 60,000 km service
all under full price warranty guarantee...

It's a modern automobile...
