Honk if you hear me

By Scott Gorsky · Friday, Jan. 9,2004 12:24 a.m.

One thing I wish I knew more about is car maintenance. Thanks to "Dateline NBC" and their tiny cameras, I don't feel like there's a mechanic in the world that I can trust. Anyone who disagrees with that statement has either never owned a car or is hopelessly deluded by the romance of the Lincoln Tech commercials that air between the Showcase Showdowns on "The Price is Right."

I'm giving up ghetto in the New Year. It's possible that in my junior high days I might have used the term to describe the knock-off Coach purses and silver, Puffy-inspired coats I lusted after. But back then, ghetto was somehow "fabulous" -- ghetto fabulous, to be exact.
