Just Saw The Silliest Thing On the Road
The Princess and I just went out for a ride. As we were heading home, we were stopped at a traffic light with two left turn lanes. We were in the left lane. In the lane next to us and slightly ahead of us was one of those new tiny Chevy Aveo Sedans. And it had video screens in both headrests.

Isn't that like getting a Yugo with leather upholstery?

:shrug:

1. I saw a late 80's model Dodge Caravan with a spoiler on the top.
I have no idea what some people are thinking.

2. LOL at imagining what a Caravan with a spoiler must look like!

Why would a spoiler even be an option? Unless it's just something a salesman can use to point out his salesmanship to other salesmen - "Hey, lookie! I can sell anybody anything!"

5. It was a strange looking minivan
It was painted almost a primer grey and had red trim. It had ground effects as well. Odd looking thing it was.

3. LOL!...Yep...Reminds me of years ago when Volkswagon....
...offered a Kit to "Soup up" the Volkswagon. (the kit was $1600.00 and increased the horsepower about 15%)

I remember thinking at the time .."Geez..after the owner goes to all the trouble of taking apart the engine and block and sticking everything back together again, my 6 cyl Dodge Dart will STILL blow his doors off!"... Go figure.. :)

6. Maybe someday we'll all wear a video screen on the back of our head
