Thursday Rant

[dlambert]

Ok - my turn to start the rant.

I'm sittin' at the stop sign getting ready to turn out of my neighborhood this morning, just waiting for a break in traffic to pull out, when *THUD* -- I'm hit from behind.

Sure enough, it's a teenager driving to school.

Now, granted, it was a little foggy this morning, but not so foggy that you could miss a day-glo orange VW with the headlights and fog lights on:



I'd have to be driving through the neighborhood tootin' out the William Tell Overture on my horn to be any more visible.

Grrr.... WAKE UP AND DRIVE!!

Ok - end of rant. Back to your regularly-scheduled insanity.

Sorry to hear that this morning. My son got yelled at by vitually all the kids on the school bus for humming the William Tell Overture all of the 20 miles to school yesterday and couldn't understand why they were so irritated

[dlambert]

Tell him I approve, and to keep practicing; it could turn out to be a useful skill someday, though honestly, I think whistling would carry further. ;-)

Thursday rants come sooooo late! It's almost Friday here already!

[dlambert]

Well, hurry up and get with it, then!

Sorry to hear about this. I must say I really really like that car! I still have my MKIV sitting in the front yard with weeds growing around it from where my SO decided to tear the front end off of it a couple of years ago. I was so mad at her, I parked it. I think I may decide to fix it here in the next couple of months. I miss my 30mpg!

Just so you can all be irritated by this insessent tune!

Rossini: William Tell Overture: Final - YouTube

It probably wouldn't have helped.. He probably had his music turned up so loud that he couldn't hear a thing anyway..

My God that car is orange.

There's a guy at work with a nice-looking MkIV -- really sharp-looking car.

If you're going to fix it up, though, might I suggest mounting one of these on top?



It turns out that VW's are damned near invisible.

Love the car! Sorry you got bumped, I hope it doesn't show.
I got bumped one morning when the train crossing started flashing and I decided *not* to run it. The dolt behind me chose differently. Boy, did I let him have it!
