They talked for a few moments as Jason fidgeted nervously, then they said the obligatory "It was so great to see you again" speech, then walked off.

Jason finally asked, "Uh, did you and Ted date?"

"For a while."

"Was it serious?"

"Somewhat," she said. "What is this?"

"Does he....you know...have a bigger..."

She smiled, "Car? Does he have a bigger car than you?"

"Uh.....yeah..."

"Yes," she grinned, "much, much bigger."

He looked heartbroken.

"But," she added, "your car is the only one I want parked in my garage."

He smiled, then added, "Wait... Are we still talking about cars?"

This is loosely based on an old friend of mine, who was actually quite bright but sometimes was a little slow with his comprehension skills.

Haha, like it! I drive what I guess you might call a sub, sub compact and it certainly gets in and out of places easier than SUVs, and fits into lots more parking slots. But I am talking about the car! :-)
