the simanek six: music and cars

1. as i was doing my morning ritual post-coffee, a guy walks into the bathroom, saunters up to the urinal and as he's taking a leak, starts singing. and not just humming or singing softly. this was full-out american-idol-wannabe singing. i had a horrible time not cracking up at his penis serenade.
2. every wednesday at noon on our local hip-hop station, they have "way back wednesday" where they mix old school hip hop. they actually managed to mix in the Night Rider theme song with some of michael jackson's "smooth criminal" and made it sound crazy-good.
3. Q101 played a remix of Jay-Z's Big Pimpin' with the words from Billy Joel's "Big Shot". It was remarkably decent.
4. on my way downtown tonight, i saw a volkswagon bug with a "molleget racing" sticker on it. dude, you drive a VW bug...you're not racing a steamroller. on top of it, it was the TDI version (diesel). look at him go!
5. i saw a mid 90's jeep wrangler with chrome spinner rims on it today. i can't even fathom a comment for such a tragedy.
6. another ridiculous piece of automotive adornment came from a custom painted ford escort station wagon. not only was it a custom shade of purple-ish blue, but the guy actually spent the money to have his muffler painted to match the body. and not just the little tailpipe...it was the WHOLE THING. This made me wonder if this kind of thing could look good on any car. I determined that if you drove a red ferrari and had some bright yellow muffler tips, that would probably be acceptable.
