Jeepers, no. Our car would have been something along the lines of a ten
year-old Ford or Chevy. My dad was just a middle-level kinda drone
working for a title company. He and Mom probably bought that cooler from
a friend, or from Sears after much discussion and calculating of the
household budget on a big heavy electromechnical ten key calculator
borrowed from the office.

Trust me -- my strangeness is earned, not because my parents were rich.
