The Flying Soup Mobile...

I've driven some strange things in my life, but this is probably the strangest. Propane tank fueled, this brightly painted hunk of fiberglass has a cap of 35mph downhill, take off 15 or so for uphill stretches. I've driven it twice. the first time, I was pulled over because apparently, my boss had forgotten to renew the tags. This time, by some stroke of luck, I was not pulled over. The mirrors weren't even positioned correctly, so I had no idea when I was changing lanes if someone was there or not. It took 3 tries to start the thing because the event it had been parked at had required us to remove the contact from the battery. There is far more to mention regarding the experience, but alas, I am exhausted.
Tomorrow morning, I drive it to work in rush hour traffic.

This has been brought to you under the influence of various alcoholic beverages which were given to me while wandering about the food show this evening. I remember 2 red wines, vodka, a spiced rum called 'horny' and Sweetwater Blue.
