how is it that my life’s dilemmas are best summarized in an ad for an automobile?

One of the last things that I removed in the course of packing up bedroom things yesterday was a magazine ad, pasted to the inside of the closet door.

I don’t remember who put it there – probably me. At the bottom some other soul stuck a label with my name on it, as if it wasn’t clear already that the captions were all about me.

I took it to the loft with the intention of putting it again on the inside of a closet door. Unfortunately, all loft closet doors are of the sliding type. Is this fate telling me that I have resolved these particular dilemmas and should not ponder them anymore?

The question is what kind of car are you associated with?

Springsteen used car metaphors on only about 83 percent of his songs, and he's done all right.

The good news is that it's the Infiniti, so that's not awful. But it's the QX4 -- introduced in 1996 (yes, the poster had been up for close to ten years) as an alternative to the then popular minivan. I mean, I would have preferred a spirited pick up truck or a sexy sports number.

QX4?

You are way too petite for that comparison. You are known to guzzle a bit of fuel now and then, but a small sports car would be more appropriate.
