Season

First Minivan Fiat pic credit.

I'm contemplating wacking a bumper sticker on my car:

Welcome to Florida - Don't Forget to Leave.

Jaded, you say? Well, pretty much. Our yearly influx of Snowbirds is currently augmented by Spring Breakers, meaning that my small Gulf Coast town more than doubles in size. And by the Wombat Traffic Theorem, traffic idiocy is proportional to the cube of car numbers, expressed thusly:

I(t) kinda = (C*M*S)

Where I(t) is traffic idiocy, C is total cars, M is total minivans, and S is total SUVs.

If you sense my Road Karma Reservoir is running low, you would be right.

Chauffeur Enemy #1

Over a beer:

Mate: So what do you think is the most dangerous car on the road?

Me: That's easy - the minivan.

Mate, after five seconds silence: Man, that is so true.



Chauffeur enemy #1. The unpredictable, chaotically driven minivan. Stay well clear.
