Peng Peng's Episodes

After reading those very positive reviews about 1999 Miata, he began to act very strangely —-calling my lab twice a day and discussing about the car (well, “discussing" is really a misleading term, which sounds like I can place my opinions but actually he just makes me listen to what he discovers—-); spending lots of time on web sites and newspaper ads doing his “research"; telling me he did not sleep well last night———-All of these signs tell me something is going to happen.

For those of you in Taiwan, let me give you a bit of background information about Miata. Miata is a very tiny car my brother Chih Hsi might not be able to get in. It is a convertible which means it comes without top. Most of all, it has only two seats.

Unfortunately, in USA, you pay more for “topless" and for “two seats only". Simply speaking, you pay more for less. You pay about the same (if not more) price for a camary (not that I like camary but–you don’t have to be a mathematician to understand it is not a bargain).

However, my husband does tell me it IS a bargain for all kinds of reasons I don’t really understand. He even went check out the car during his short lunch break and called me just for telling me which colors are available now with a very excited tone——— From what I understand about my husband (could be very little, I have to say), he is very serious this time.

I am not writing this message to collect signatures for opposing my husband. These days I realize basically I have no influence on a man undergoing middle age delusion.
