You’re always the last to know

My 1987 compact hatchback passed its emissions test.

Thank you. Yes, I’m proud.

Anyway, I was folding up the form they give you at the testing station to put in an envelope with the other form you send in along with a check to get a new sticker for your license plate.

I just happened to notice that, on the emissions test report, my car is described as a “station wagon.”

Who knew?

Should I have been conducting myself in more “My Three Sons” manner all these years? You know, loading up the family truckster with kids, dogs and miscellaneous suburban lifestyle accoutrements.

Nah. I guess not. Besides, I mostly ride my bike.
