Oh, sure. I had these memories as a kid in the 1980s of the car being panned by everyone, but I didn't approach this book just to make fun of the car. I like little cars. I really didn't pan the car.

Hence the motivation for dating Ally: a revenge scenario devised by his roommate Aidan (Tate Ellington), the kind of wisecracking, sleazy oaf that always hangs around the hero in romantic comedies. Of all the tired, unrealistic means the movies use to get characters together, this ploy is the worst. I would rather be forced to swallow the notion of Tyler and Ally meeting through sheer coincidence than watch this unfold...
