This month's column is perfectly suited for PP OT:

... Bush’s reelection team, according to the book, “determined that Porsche owners tend to be Republican while Volvo drivers tilt Democratic. Jaguar drivers were considered most likely to vote and Hyundai drivers least likely.

Now, some of this makes sense to me.

Back when I was restoring my 1967 E-Type some years ago, I was extremely well informed on national politics because I used to watch three hours of evening news as a way of procrastinating so I didn’t have to go out to the garage and figure out why the dash lights flickered when the passenger door was slammed. Voting was the natural upshot of all this political exposure.

I can’t tell you why Hyundai drivers don’t vote more often. Maybe their dash lights work.
