brilliance in driving

Thought I’d share an experience I had. I was at work when I noticed one of those H2 kiddy hummers attempting to parallel park across the street. That was ten minutes of fun. Later, the woman and her daughter return and pull out of their spot. Front tires were moving. Back tires weren’t. She left her parking brake on. Got about half a block before another car told her. Makes me feel safe knowing that people like that are driving cars capable of crushing me to death.

My rather egotistical neighbor across the street once drove home in a brand new behemothic Escalade SUV and then spent at least half an hour trying to angle the beast so that it would fit in his carport. The next day he was back to his old jeep. Normally, I don’t laugh at other people’s misfortune but ( trust me on this one) he deserved it.

Oops. I guess that was more a case of brilliance in car buying than driving, but you gotta love the level of stupidity that results in buying a car that doesn’t fit in your garage.

Speaking of which, this is pretty interesting.

BTW, am I the only one amused by a vehicle called a “Hummer”? Who’s the salesman, Phil Latio?

Check out this baby. This would totally rock for hauling kids and groceries…and other cars…and construction equipment…and artillery…and small buildings.

In the last few weeks there have been several mentions of LeBron James “receiving a hummer from his mother”. One newscaster I saw added “A Hummer is a car” :smiley:
