Well, I knew it was going to begin sooner than I was ready for, but I am thinking that this is just ridiculous!Yesterday Jace and I were looking through my e-mails. I got one from Lexus announcing the new 2010 GX. Jace thought we should check it out. We watched the little video which highlighted all the safety features. Boy were they cool! You know me, I love technology gadgets!
The GX has auto-adjusting cruise control which senses the vehicle in front of you and automatically adjusts the cruise control, so you never get too close. It has rear, side and front mounted cameras which eliminate blind spots. There are lots of neat-o airbags strategically placed around the cabin. It also has sensors which will tell you if you are approaching the lane lines (handy for those who do their best sleeping behind the wheel.... JOE). Anyhow, it really was cool, so we priced it out. $62,000. Yeah, it's off the short list! Well, Mister Jace, clever fellow that he is, says "We should get that Mom. Just think how safe all that stuff would make me when I can drive". I started to open my mouth to tell him he was INSANE for thinking that, when he quickly added, "By the time I can drive it would be an old car. But it would still have all that safety stuff. Just think how safe I would be."
Oh crap. I am not ready for him as a teenager!
