Why I love my car
March 13th 2007
It’s the little things that count, because an engineer that gets the little things right doesn’t get the big things wrong.
In my car, a 1991 Honda Accord wagon, I am able, with both hands full of groceries lock and close all doors in the car using only my feet.
Now, my girlfriend would say at this point, “If your car is so great, then why is the passenger door light switch broken?” And to that, I would say, because my dad is not a Honda engineer, and he broke it trying to wire in a little blinking light that makes it look like there’s an alarm. 
But she would never argue that both our Honda vehicles (she has a Civic) are fine pieces of engineering and good cars. Whoever engineered the front door lock on my car to lock all the doors and be big enough to hit with my foot, thank you. I owe you a Sapporo or something.
Great post! My 2005 Honda Accord has the automatic key thing so I can’t say I’ve tried using my feet, but I’ve been happy with it all the same.
