When they get to bigger cars.
It must be very tempting for kids to flip over those toy cars.
What do you expect when you buy a car that weighs as much as a golf cart?
A city kid’s version of cow tipping.
Worse, someone hid the windup keys!
Maybe the car owner can use that iPad charging cable to pull themselves up and escape such a devastating situation!
There was a time last year or so when I used to pass one of those toys plodding down the right lane of highway about 40 MPH 1 to 2 times a week. Same woman ~ 50s looking.
I laughed each time.,
Smart Car == Coffin on Wheels
“But they drove with pride....”
Morons.
It seems to have worked for cows.
Not so “smart” after all.
Great reference, dfw...
In a Yugo Lyrics
By Paul Shanklin 2003
As the snow flies
At a used car lot on the edge of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo
And they drive with pride
Cause if there’s one thing that this world needs
It’s environmental friends who’ll take the lead
In a Yugo
They say, “people don’t you understand
Those suburbans are ruining the land”
But they’ll wish they had a full size van one day
They point fingers at you and me
They say we’re too blind to see
But do we simply use our heads
And choose another way?
As those small wheels turn
Fifty miles to the gallon
And their knees on their chest
They’re gonna save enough gas
For all of the rest
In a Yugo
Then one day on the interstate
They suddenly lose control
They swerve to miss a baby duck
They’re squashed beneath a produce truck
But they drove with pride...
And as the crowds drive past a little flat car
You know they saved a lot of gas
But they didn’t get far
In a Yugo
And as they’re trapped inside
At a used car lot on the other side of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo....
And they drive with pride...
===========================
I have a 97 Ford Taurus for the freeway. It was my mother's. She stopped driving it when it had 5000 miles on it. It has 22,500 miles on it now. It's like new.
===========================
My husband bought only older cars. I had a 1975 LTD station wagon, bought in 1990. It was yellow with brown. The turn signals didn't work. My husband told me: Just start moving to the right or left lanes, VERY slowly and everyone will let you in.
Lol. He was right. There were many who objected but there wasn't a DANG thing they could do about it. It drove on the freeway like a dream...what a boat!
One young guy was trying to turn right but couldn't because I was making a left into him.
He looked at my car and kept saying: "F...ing big car! What a f...ing BIG car. F...ing BIG CAR!!!"
He couldn't believe it!
I enjoyed driving that car. It finally died, a quiet noble death.
I bet it was a breeze, not vandals.
I hauled my five kids around in an LTD wagon. No seat belts,windows down,terrific.
Good memories.
