yeah, a burning car is really ugly. not dissimilar to the monks back in the 60s...cars are religious objects in America. I had a fun time waiting for my buddy to pick me up and take me to work. Every car that drove by...85 Mazda, yeah, I'd take that right now...92 Accord, yes...Mitsubishi delivery truck, yes...84 Ford Taurus, repainted, bad motor,.........yes. sh. yes, I would drive it right now. Why is EVERY OTHER CAR working and mine is NOT? AAARRGGHH!! One of the funniest things I ever saw on the road in California: I was driving in lane 2 on the Hollywood Freeway going in to Hollywood, just by the Universal Studios. On the left (the "fast lane") rips by a Fiat Spider, red, top down, with two happy carefree boys in it. Suddenly, without warning, the right front wheel comes off the car. (It was a Fiat, remember.) Really. Hum! wheel came right off! The car is spraying** large quantities of sparks off the right front and the boys are screaming like women that were just stabbed with butcher knives. The car slowed, and I pulled up and yelled out, "Hold on to the wheel tight and coast to a stop!" And then I covered for them till they made it. I guess that's kinda mean, but it was really funny to see these two guys screaming. Not something that Dick Trickle or Dale Earnhardt would do.
