May 7 - Houston...

WTF....

I saw this van exiting the HOV lane... and noticed the odd looking passanger... he appeared to have a broken neck...

Then I saw it was a mannequin dressed with a ball cap, and sun glasses.

It seems this guy was going to take the car pool lane.. come hell or high water... ;)

Without quite realizing why the kids always made fun of him at school, Manfred Putz went on to fame and fortune with a successful civil engineering equipment firm... Who's your meister now ;) :lol:

S2000's are so common in Houston now, that 2 out of every 5 cars seen is an S2000.... ;)

You keep quoting how small Tomball is as if it is in the boonies... :roll:

It is but 10 miles up the road from the Houston City Limits and tens of thousands of people commute to and from the area everyday... :lol:

You must really not get out much thinking you live way out in the sticks... :)

249 runs right through your front door - :D
