Scion
I saw a billboard. I would tell you that this is my interpretaive drawing of what was on the billboard, but I would be misleading you. This is exactly what was on the billboard.
We're in the fucking 21st Century. Where are all the flying cars the fucking-brilliant engineer-types were drawing when they were in high school and college?
I'm changing professions and getting a cushy job as a car designer because I was drawing cars like this stupid-looking Scion from the time I was about 6 years old. In fact, I still draw cars like this. I'm a perfect match for the job. And I could add wings to it, too, with a little rocket on the back ... and little lines coming out of the back ... Voila! A flying car!
You need a stiff drink.

Posted by: Michelle at August 17, 2004 03:50 PMMy most fav coloring book was "The Jetsons". I just knew that by the time I could drive, there would be flying cars. Sometimes, I colored Jane's hair pink. I was way before my time...

Posted by: TW at August 18, 2004 10:34 AMDoes TW's refrigerator box on wheels transport beer? You two should team up on this designing cars idea...I think you might be onto something.
