The Barn by Ralph Hagen for November 03, 2024

Just hope it’s not a careless driver.

The battery’s probably dead after all that.

The car probably has manual windows and Rory will never figure out how to work them.

Imagination is a wonderful thing.

Is there a cute cow in the backseat for Stan? Now THAT’S a fully loaded auto!

My 2017 Mazda has all that and more. I’m getting a new car in the Spring and it has to have all that and more because I’ve been spoiled (and I am much safer having the many safety features).

“Now, let’s go drive on a Parkway!”

“I’d rather park on a driveway…”

My first car was a 1969 Mustang. It had a metal frame, an engine, an interior, and four-on-the-floor, but none of the above—not even a seatbelt.

It’s even got bells and whistles.

Cli-mate function…. I read that as Command-Line Interface. And mate is a desktop environment. I really thought we were getting high tech here.

Better move outta the way Karl..Rory’s comin through!

I got a new car. I think they made the driverless parts so you don’t die while trying to figure out what the millions of functions are for.

more to break and more costly to fix

I don’t even have a radio. I need Rory to serenade me! :)

Karl couldn’t car less?

to be fair, the driver does have a car… it just doesn’t actually drive…

The thrill is gone.

Maybe someday that will work.
