Oddities of Cars

The past week, I heard a couple of stories on the radio regarding cars:

1) Now that cell phone use while driving has been curtailed, now distracted walking is becoming an issue. This article reports that 2 States are considering banning texting as well as wearing earphones while walking. It seems to me that iPods and cell phones are becoming "evil devices" because of the distractions that can occur - even while walking. If Governments prohibit texting and wearing earphones while walking, can chewing gum be next?

2) An MSNBC editor wrote this story about a survey of car owners regarding naming cars. The survey was done by webuyanycar.com. Evidently slightly more than half of respondents name their cars (I am one of them - Cindy Civic). Certain colors were more likely to have a name than others - Cindy's color green was one of the least likely colors of a car whose car received a name.

A lot of people name their cars!

I had Puddle Jumper, now there's Jeepie. Then my friends had Greta the Jetta, Satty Blue, Wanda the Honda, Jetty, Tiger and the Falcon :o)
