Tacky has no religion

My mom totally has a kit to turn her car into a reindeer. I love it. It is super tacky.

I have seen the reindeer get up on a number of cars and even some Mack trucks. But prior to this morning, I have never seen a car topped with a Menorah. It was a relief to know that tacky has no religious barriers. Seeing a gigantic menorah speeding towards me made me smile this morning, which I greatly appreciated, since it is Monday.

Happy Hanukkah!

Oh Mass RMV you got tricked

On the way to work I saw the following in a license plate:

8008SZ

As far as I knew you couldn't have a plate that made that suggested anything sexual or crass. Last I checked eight-zero-zero-eight spells boob on any calculator. Which makes me wonder who let boobs go out for printing???

Amazing Sighting

Driving home from Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Michael's this afternoon and I saw the most amazing vehicle parked on the side of the street. It was a stretch limo pick-up truck.

No. Lie.

It also had flames. I came close to pulling over to take a picture, but I didn't want to cause a traffic jam.

The Doot-Doot Saga Continues

When we last left the tale of the broke little-thingy-that-turns-off-my-car-alarm I was simply annoyed and concerned that I was unable to use my vehicle for the next few days. My friend was forced to take a cab back to her house as I had no way of getting her there myself. Shortly into the 4 mile journey her cab driver hit a car that had paused to let a light flashing/siren screaming firetruck by. Fortunately nobody was injured. Eventually they continued on their way and she was dropped off at her house, free of charge and given a promise of five addition free rides from the driver if she so desired. Now, if the little black thing on my key chain actually worked, this would have been avoided.

Now, had I been able to drive her home, I would have then been forced to park my car in a new spot on the street. That seems pretty silly to mention, I know, but sadly it is not. I awoke this morning with the idea to get a new battery for the stupid thing in the hopes that a new charge was all it needed. After a trip to Radio Shack and walk around the square, I returned home.

The battery was all I needed, but as soon as my excitement for my car alarm finally deactivating came over me, a feeling of annoyance over powered it immediately. Someone stuck a bright orange envelope in my side door. I was ticketed for leaving my car in the same space for over 48 hours! Stupidest rule ever. I will be appealing this ticket with the explanation that if I could have moved my car, I would have, I sadly just could not get into it....oh well.

No Driving for Me

While I don't like driving, I do enjoy having a car and being able to drive. Sadly that ability was recently taken away from me. My car alarm deactivating thing (otherwise known as the doot-doot) seems to be broken. Perhaps the battery needs to be changed. I do not know. All I know is that I cannot unlock my car with just the key as this sets the alarm off and I have no way of turn on the car or the alarm off. So for now, the Avalon will be sitting on the side of the street.

I find the whole thing rather annoying and frustrating that I have a key and yet cannot use my car. Additionally, I tried to disable my alarm a week ago when I noticed the doot-doot was loosing power, but failed miserabley at that task as it is clearly very much still active.
