Another 20 cm of Global Warming at Kenzie World Headquarters yesterday, and throughout the GTA.
Perfect weather to pick up the Hot Rod du Jour, a 400-plus horsepower rear-wheel drive Porsche 911 GTS - in pure, Snowstorm White.
An Alert Reader (Dave Barry isn't the only one who has 'Alert Readers') sent me this photo, which clearly identifies the driver of this truck as the 'Maroon' of the Day (apologies to Bugs Bunny...).
(Said Alert Reader assured me both vehicles were stopped at a light when this photo was snapped.)
The driver of this truck apparently figured out that if he rolled his side window down just a little, that some of the snow might fall off. Not enough that he could actually see his side-view mirror of course, but then he probably doesn't have it adjusted properly anyway.
A real rocket surgeon, this guy.
Was he thinking that maybe if someone Tee-boned him on his right side it would knock the rest of the snow off, so he wouldn't have to brush it off himself?
I mean, HE'S in an SUV, so he'd be OK.
You wonder what - if anything - goes through some people's minds...
I can't count the number of assinine drivers I saw yesterday during the snowstorm with vehicles as bad or worse than that in the picture.
Even today, a day after the storm, I saw a late model Honda Civic coupe with the back completely covered in snow, right down to the tail lights - I mean completely, I coudn't see any glass, body or brake lights, nor could I tell the colour of the vehicle. Sadly, this jackass had just dropped his kids off at school, so their safety was obviously no concern either.
If a police officer tried to pull this idiot over, or an ambulance/fire truck was on an emergency run, I don't know how he/she would have even seen the flashing roof lights.
