The perfect car for Brad
So my son Brad has started to talk about driving. His mom actually lost a Super Bowl bet that will require Brad’s mom to take him out and teach him how to drive. OK, one lesson we are starting to approach this slowly. As we begin to think our 6′ 6″ giant driving soon, I have been paying more attention to cars….well that he may fit in.
My best friend in high school was 7′ 1″ (that is right, isn’t it Brent?). I am sure it was a sight to see him and I standing next to each other… but I digress. Anyway, Brent’s challenge was he was so tall that most vehicles (or rooms for that matter) we uncomfortable for him to fit in. ;-) Brent finally ended up choosing his cool high school ride… Yes, a Ford Pinto. Now you say to yourself, how can he fit into a Pinto? Do you need to use quotes when your talking to yourself? No, I guess not… Brent had to remove the drivers seat and move it to the back seat area and weld the seat to the floor. Boy do you think his insurance company would have been happy about that, and seat belts? What were those in the 70’s and 80’s, safety equipment used by race car drivers if memory serves me correct.
So, as I begin to look at vehicles for Brad and I think I found one. The same style and class of the Ford Pinto. OK, maybe it actually is a little nicer than a Pinto. It has class and character, and I think it is Brad. For those who know Brad, know that this fits his personality. But somehow the clown car at the circus comes to mind. Whoops sorry, back to the story.. Well this looks perfect. I am on the hunt to find out more about this car.
With any luck it will fit in my carry on and I can bring it home for him as a gift from Romania. I mean he would like this better than the cheese roll I bought him, ya think?

Yo Buddy,

I think that Brad would look really cool in that ride! So it looks like you’re having a great time on your vacation….oh that’s right; it’s a work trip…..
