  • Straight out of Richard Scarry's "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go": https://a.co/d/0778Ou0A

    If you are a parent of a small child, you will be amazed by the depth and fun of this book. I am always surprised it is not more commonly read.

  • Every time he gets pulled over for a selfie it's an abuse of power. If he can't ignore it, they shouldn't be doing it. Wait for a random encounter in a parking lot or gas station like the rest of us.

    100% that! When did everything get serious and look-alike? Anyway, I am taking off, shopping cart racing in the mall...

  • I hosted Steve on my couch (remember Couchsurfing?) when he was taking his Big Banana Car to a local art festival. Awesome guy, awesome car. I got to ride along for a bit. It was thrilling to see every single person's face light up as soon as they saw it, like a moving happiness machine. I hope somebody sees this and decides to make their own bit of whimsy

  • I used to drive a 1991 Suzuki Cappuccino - a tiny right-hand drive kei sports car. The first couple of years I drove it, the police pulled me over on a regular basis - no tickets issued but lots of questions asked.

    One time while I was waiting for a light, an officer knocked on my window (which is somewhat startling)... I rolled it down and he excitedly asked "What kind of car is this?!"
