why is it that if i am stuck behind a slow car, it is almost always a toyota camry?

why do guys who drive volkswagon minibusses all look like richard dreyfuss?

why do guys who drive camaros all have brown hair and a mustache?

if you add water to concrete mix, and then let it dry to get hard, why doesn't it turn to mush when it rains?

why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?

if the idea behind a commuter lane is to go faster than the regular traffic, why don't people get out of it if they want to drive slower than the traffic?

who are all the soccer moms talking to on the cell phone?

if you own a landscape service, is it a prerequisite that your truck have dented fenders, ruined paint, and expired registration?

does a suburu wrx come with a free lifetime supply of hair gel?

if we have a commuter lane, why don't we have a tourist lane?

From the Baron of Bugtussel's blog (yes, the Baron can still have a laugh even though his car is driving him insane) -
The Baron was driving in his car the other day and picked up a hitchhiker. He said to him "put on your seat belt - I want to try something. I saw it in a cartoon but I am pretty sure I can do it".
The Baron has now invented non-fragrance perfume to wear in scent-free buildings. It comes in an empty bottle.
The Baron saw a space ship land today and three little one-inch men got out. The Baron asked the "are you really only one inch tall?" They told him "No, we are just really far away".
The Baron makes his own drink now - two parts H and one part O.
Why are ballerinas always on there tip-toes? Why don't they just get taller women?
The other day the Baron went for a walk and the prescription on his eyeglasses ran out.
The Baron got a postcard from his friend yesterday - it was a postcard of the earth. It said "I wish you were here".
The Baron has an actual sized map of Canada. It says 1 km = 1 km.
The Baron went to the hardware store yesterday and bought some used paint. It came in the shape of a house.
What do batteries run on?
What is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of the song?
Why is it a penny for your thoughts but you have put your two cents in. Somebody is making a penny.
The Baron put wax in his humidifier and now his room is all shiny.
The Baron bought some batteries the other day but they didn't come with batteries so he had to buy them again.
The Baron knows when he will die because his birth certificate has an expiry date on it.
Sometimes if you can't hear the Baron it is because he is in parentheses.
The Baron bought some powdered water but he didn't know what to add to it when he got it home.
The Baron only flies Air Bazaar. You leave any Monday and they bring you back the previous Friday. That way the Baron always has his weekends free.
The Baron lost a buttonhole today. Do any of you have a spare one?
The Baron got a new answering machine for his phone. Now, when you call, you get a recorded busy signal.
The Baron just broke a mirror and should have 7 years of bad luck but his lawyer thinks that he can get the Baron off in 5.
The Baron got contact lenses but only needs them for reading so he got flip-ups.
The Baron used to have a bathing suit made out of little sponges. The only problems was that when he left the pool nobody could go swimming until he came back.

A couple of days ago, I entered a dead-end street that had a sign that read "No U-Turns".

I'm still there.

I've often wonder how is it that on a dry-sunny(but not in your face)-warm summer day does a lone car end up on it's roof. I see this at least once a year and there is never another car involved.
My next thought after seeing this is usually something like "Where are the others like this winner and how close are they to me? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img]

Things I ponder

On a bad day -

- Why am I stuck behind a Prius, again???
- Lady in the Prius, will you please get into the HOV lane so that I can get by you??
- Oh, another Prius owner who is so pleased with himself that he is saving the environment that he has given himself the right to drive like he's in a Porsche [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

On a good day -

- Man that is one sweet sounding 928
- Did you see that 85 944 - all black and still shiny - nice

if HOV stands for high occupancy vehicles, do those lanes require a car carries a minumum of 6 people in Mexico, or a dozen in India ? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img]

When the mens room is crowded, could 2 men go in the womans rest room and one stand guard at the door as his friend goes in the stall?

Something I ponder every day:

Why couldn't I have an extremely rich uncle will me millions upon his death?!

Something I ponder on a regular basis:

Why have the hair-growing chemicals within my body decided to relocate to places where they aren't necessarily welcome?!

Something I ponder whenever I am hungry (which is often):

Why does food that tastes sooo damn good cause sooo many problems (for me, snack foods like Doritos and BBQ potato chips)?!

On my way to school last night, I saw the CHP pull over a Prius after he passed a whole bunch of us going at least 80 mph. Spent the rest of my trip wondering what kind of fuel consumption you get in one of those things at that speed.

lol - of all the things to wonder, i wonder why he passed you guys at 80 to go get a prius - he must have been stuck in traffic one day and gotten passed by one that was traveling in the commuter lane

to answer the question though, at those kinds of speeds, a prius gets very poor mileage - in fact, there was an episode of top gear which showed a prius running around a track as fast as it could, and an M3 behind it at the same speed (no drafting advantage) - the M3 got BETTER mileage at 19mpg versus the prius at 17mpg

Well shoot I would get a lot better mileage too if I didn't stand on the accelerator - duh. Love that story Chris - would have made my day.

I reread my post and realized the way I wrote it was confusing. The Prius was in the carpool lane doing about 80 or so based on my speed in the next lane over. I was probably crusing at 70 and this guy just went jetting on by followed very shortly by a CHP cruiser.

I can't think of any other circumstance why a self respecting Porsche driver that would allow him/herself to be passed by a Prius.

From what I have observed, the sweet spot for fuel consumption on the freeway seems to be at about 55 to 60 mph since that is the spped they like to drive at when they pull into the fast lane in front of me!!!!
