Yesterday I came out of the Krispy Kreme factory with a donut and cup of coffee; looking to the left I saw what appeared to be an armored car. A brand new armored car.
Parked near me was a vehicle I had never seen before.
I walked around it checking it out. It wasn't an armored car. It wasn't a swollen Hummer. It was simply the biggest street legal "what-ever" I had ever seen on wheels. Big wheels!
Ooh, the price tag!
Men like cars, and men like big, and men like tough ... this was the most impressive BIG ‘n TOUGH thing I'd ever seen. As I looked up at it, I quietly wondered at what altitude the driver's seat was.
Just then two young men came out with their donuts, went to the vehicle and started climbing up the side. They reached the doors and opened them and sat down inside. How I envied them ... looking down on all the cars below.
Mileage? I would guess about three gas stations an hour.
Wow! Look at that tire.
One of their tires would cost about the same as my little Nissan Xterra ... which I formerly thought was a rather Macho vehicle.
The difference? I drive around slow cars on the freeway, this thing simply drive over them! Oh, the feeling.
Well, as I stood there, I had to admit that mine wasn't as big as theirs. Mine Xterra was more in the toy Hot Wheels class now.
Obviously, these two men weren't politically correct, they weren't green, that's for sure.
Thumbs up! Two fossil fuel fools dedicated to heating up the atmosphere while driving over the little tree huggers in their electric wind powered sewing machines.
Yep, I slowly drove away, a humbled man.
