Son Taylor writes scintillating non-fiction for Craig's List:

Don't let this be "the one that got away." Does your wife need a kid hauler to whisk those little squirts to and from soccer practice in utilitarian style? Are you in search of the ultimate grocery getter that will accommodate enough canned goods and water to prepare for Y2K? Maybe you're in need of a torque to each tire AWD beast which could traverse across the Siberian wilderness in the dead of winter. Your answer to any of these requirements is a Honda CRV. Also known as the original crossover, the Certainly Reputable Vehicle has been mimicked but not replicated by other manufacturers. Our fellow countrymen have only ever produced cowardly caricatures of this well-designed mass of material. If the free market has any impact on you, our easterly neighbors have engineered a crossover which far outsold every other vehicle in its class. Is this car cosmetically perfect? Not quite, but what she lacks in pulchritude is made up for with integrity. This old mare was always trustworthy and loyal to us, we treated her accordingly. Aside from a new A/C fan and condenser which were replaced by Honda less than a year ago, there has never been a major repair. Like-new set of Michelin Assurances. Always ran Mobil1 full synthetic. Text with any questions. Price is firm for now.

BTW, it's a great car. They just needed a minivan.
