The daily digest of Twin Cities culture | Secrets of the City

People ask me from time to time what cars to buy. I always tell them that while you are not what you drive, you are what you eat. After looking at me quizzically, I break it down for them and explain that usually they ask me this question in an attempt to feed their own egos. This is because I am asked this question most often by people who are old enough to think for themselves but don't. So, what they really are asking me is "what car looks best on me?". Which is why I can never understand why they won't talk to me after I give them my standard three best cars for the dough.
