That's funny right there.  Accurate and just as sad, but funny...... :'(

22hp must be the "premium" option,.....

Although the pick up truck version has no rifle rack,..... ;)

Funny stuff.  Made me laugh.  Then, made me cry when I realized that's where we are headed.

I'm thinking of the fact that a lot of folks will see this and think "That's a good idea!", right before lecturing me on the evils of fossil fuels, emmisionss, global warming etc. Then it becomes less funny. :-\ Reminds of this day in Indiana. It was 3:30 on a Febuary afternoon. I went to my office "annex", the local Appelbys, to grade papers and write a lecture while enjoying $1 beers and half price appetizers. It was snowing like hell. Pulling into the lot, I ran into this hippy (tie dye and all) who's Prius was stuck in a drift a snow plow had left on his car (purely by by accident I'm sure ;D). I got out my tow strap and pulled him out. As I said later to a scandalized class: "How many miles per gallon does your Nader mobile get you? Zero, because my 4WD F-150 is towing your ass!". Sad that that's become something of a reflection of many broader truths these days. :-\

I was a TA for a linguistic anthropology class, and the prof (she was all of 2 years older than I and a damn sight better looking) and I would head down to Poppa Charlies near UI-Chicago and grade the exams. We had to cut that out when we notice the exams at the bottom of the pile (and after 3-4 pitchers of draft) all got better scores than the ones at the top of the pile (aka 1st pitcher).

Oh, we still went pub crawling together, but we graded the exams in the office.
