Default 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


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


BTW - both were being driven by gray haired 50-somethings...

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...

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