Coincidences...

Goodness! I knew that John Roberts is about my age and has two children about the same age and gender as mine. Now I learn that he drives the same car I do! Let's hope the close parallels end there. If he shares my depth of knowledge on the law, the country is in trouble!

Contrary to what Kaus says, driving a PT Cruiser indicates a fine appreciation for old-style values, in an up-to-date application. Of course, some of us do take the retro-car thing a bit too far. My Cruiser has a standard shift and manual door locks, which would classify me as a genuine eccentric, except that I'm also genuinely cheap, which explains the minimalist automobile.

I'll bet top judges drive the Cruiser with tinted glass and a turbo.
