The Carpeted Car

Just when you think you have seen everything, you see something like this.  It is a carpeted car.   We all saw this when we were getting ready to cross the bridge.   I think it appropriate to note that the guy has a handicapped license plate - I don't know when we decided to start giving out handicapped plates due to mental illness, but obviously that is what happened here.   I wish I could report that the guy was from Canada (Alberta), but sadly it is obvious that he is from Michigan.

When we passed this guy we were all in a panic.  Sandstrom practically locked up the brakes to slow down so we could take some pictures.  The guys was just as proud as a peacock when we pulled up along side of him.   We were all laughing so hard that we could  hardly take a picture.  I can personally say that I had tears running down my face and I was in hysterics.  I could only wonder what this guy must have been thinking one morning.    "Hmmm, what am I going to do today?  I think I'll go down to the carpet store and browse around.    Hey look at that piece of  purple carpet.  It sure is nice.  I'll bet it would look great on my car."   Well, as you can see in the pictures, and as Sandstrom pointed out - "At least he did a good job".  I would guess that the carpet adds several hundred pounds to the weight of the car and I have to wonder what happens in the rain.  It must add another couple of hundred pounds and then he probably has to drive with the wipers on for at least an hour after the rain stops.     I wonder if he will have any trouble selling the car when he decides to buy a new one.
