Default On my way to work today.

I'm at a light messing w/ the radio and I hear the car next to me revving furiously. I'm thinking, 'who could this be? A race maybe?' I look up and see an old VW beetle and realize he's just trying to keep his car from dying. He did it at the next three lights. It gave me a laugh.

my friend had one back in the days. he said when he went to san francisco (very hilly), he couldn't make it up some of the hills and needed a good head start to make it....at WOT. he told me many times he had to turn around and try again. they got great gas mileage though! haha

Yeah, this guy's '0-across the intersection' was about 6 seconds. Not bad.

On my way to work today, I pulled out of my driveway in the rental Neon that I was driving while the dealer was doing the clutch TSB and I was mooned by one of the local housewives out for their morning walk. I'm not sure if she was showing her feelings for the Neon or if she had something else in mind???????

Sure got my attention, however.

I wish that that could happen to me. I live in kidsville and there are so many hot young momma's.

Did she have junk in her trunk?
