Lemons and Dangerous Avalanches in Castro Valley

A twist on that old saying about lemons!

I was driving along peacefully, minding my own business and, all of a sudden, I was almost killed by an Avalanche! An Avalanche in Castro Valley, you say? Hell Yes!!!

Oh, it wasn't a massive amount of snow crashing down from a giant mountain. Instead it was a GIANT MOUNTAIN OF A SUT!

Yes, a SUT. Sport Utility Truck. It was a Chevy Avalanche that wanted to make a left turn from three lanes over and my little Camry was in the way. Well, excuuuuuuse me!

No wonder General Motors needed a bailout!!

  1. Nobody really needs a SUT. If you need a truck, buy a truck. It is a wasted model and wasted development money.
  2. Calling a vehicle an Avalanche???? Who thought of that idea? An avalanche causes massive damage and even a small avalanche is extremely dangerous to life and limb.
  3. I've found some other "good ideas" for car names on various websites (I actually just made them up): the Pontiac Plague {you have a choice between Bubonic (V-12), Septicemic (V-8) or Pneumonic (Hybrid)}, the Cadillac Cancer, the Oldsmobile Ebola, Chrysler Tsunami, the Edsel Earthquake, Volvo Volcano, Ford Flood, Hyundai Hurricane, Toyota Tornado, Fiat Forest Fire, Renault Street Riot, Mazda Murder Spree, Honda Hate Crime, Voltzwagen Vampire Bite, Kia Serial Killer, Peugeot Pervert and the Nissan Nitroglycerin.

Be careful out there! 

I thought up a new saying today: "When you are given lemons, make lemonade and then take the rest of the lemons and squirt the juice into the eyes of the person who gave you the lemons and see how they like them apples."

In the streets,
Where icebergs play,
They see a truck.
Lettuce pray!
