Unlike humans, automobiles born today essentially all look, smell and behave much the same. Cars may all be branded, colored, and sized differently but just like sugary candy and cough-drops, too much has got to be a BAD thing. I bet if I look underneath all of the stupid modern cars, next to their ‘Fruit of the Loomies’ they will actually have ‘Jelly Belly’-button logos imprinted on them. Whatever happened to cars with real angled metal parts, beltless seats, chrome, and oh I don’t know just for fun - some personality? I don’t need no ‘steenking’ safety stuff – the only airbag in my car should be ME - after a jumbo burrito brunch.
Maybe it is the four rubber wheel thing that is throwing me off? Would it be so bad to mount a ‘lazy susan’ or two under a car or at least a pair of tank treads to try ANYTHING different? Even fish happily embrace a little diversity just to break up the boring bubbles every now and then. How else could you explain the Marty Feldman good looks of the hammerhead shark or those ‘suckers’ of the sea – the octopus.
Hey it’s not like I’m asking for much. I know cars won’t grow fins, swim, or sprout wings to fly anytime soon. I’m no dummy – according to that minty fresh Scope’s trial, stuff like that might take ions to evolve. But before turning hopelessly pruney, I would like for once to sit in traffic and stare at something other than a monotone boring box adorned in RED lights. Oops, sorry – I apparently got distracted AGAIN by my oversized in-dash radio and ‘heavy metal’ 8-track player.

I want an old Camaro but that won't be happening anytime soon...
ReplyDeleteI saw a cutout that was of those Flapper Girls that you could put over your lights. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteAh yes...the oldies! Gotta love 'em!
ReplyDeletePsst...speaking of oldies, hubby just turned 60!!!
I love the Lazy Susan idea. I've never given that much thought, but think of how easy that would be. Funny post. Sorry I haven't been around in a while.

ReplyDeleteI've SEEN Willie's dashboard. Oddly most of his dashlights are disturbingly RED! He is an Electro-Nut and turns everything on at once. Looks like Las Vegas Downtown at Xmas.
He even runs TWO GPS's because he likes to
hear the 'catfight' of women fighting over which way to go!
Advice: To Stay SANE stay outta that car!

I'm with marlene. My hubby turned 60, too. Like fine wine... :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! A jumbo burrito brunch will do it every time!
ReplyDeleteGotta love those classic cars. I remember back in my teenage years my older brother having a few. He and his buds would street race, they marked a quarter mile line, race the cars then ditch them in our garage before the cops could find them.
Those cars got my brother in a lotta trouble!!
But it certainly was good times!!
Great post!
You could always drive a classic 50's or 60's car which you could probably get for less that a new car. Gas mileage would be horrible, but you'd arrive in style.
