Wrong Way Drivers

I'm not sure why, but it seems like there have been a rash of wrong-way drivers lately.  In fact, I've seen three in the past two days. 

Living in downtown, you get used to one-way streets.  And it's not uncommon to see a car turn the wrong way down one of these streets, drive about half a block, realize that they're going the wrong way, freak out, and turn into the nearest driveway, parking lot, or street. 

But this isn't what I'm talking about.  For example, this morning I was taking my dog out for a walk when I see a car turn the wrong way onto the street we're walking on.  There's a small hill about three blocks up, and vehicles disappear from view when they get over it.  That's where I lost track of this car.  At that point, it was still driving (rather quickly) the wrong way down a one-way street.  I was sure I was going to hear a crash at any moment, but luckily, I didn't.  I assuming that they turned off at one of the street a little ways up. 

So what have I learned from this?  Look both ways before crossing the street, even if it's a one-way street.

Mary Kay Car

Every time I see a pink car, I laugh and say that it's a Mary Kay car.  Well, today I saw an actual Mary Kay car.  And yes, it was pink. 

For some reason, I always picture old granny cars as Mary Kay cars, maybe because I always picture old grannies selling Mary Kay.  I know that neither is actually true, that's just what happens to pop into my head when I think of Mary Kay.  Anyways, this was a Cadillac SUV, and it wasn't anywhere near as pink as I thought it would be. 

For some reason, I always picture Mary Kay pink being the same as Pepto Bismol pink.  That's not true either.  This was a very light pink, almost pearly.  I actually really liked it and might even consider getting a car that color one day. 

Seeing as how all my assumptions about Mary Kay cars were wrong, how do I know this was really a Mary Kay car?  Well, I guess I can't be 100% sure, but it had a Mary Kay decal on the back.  I'm not talking about a bumper sticker or other sticker decal, it was an actual chrome decal.  That just made it seem more legitimate to me.  I'm sure I could probably find one online and stick it on my car, but who would actually do that?  But then again, who would buy a pink SUV?

Cars

Have you ever noticed how people tend to match their cars?  Beetles are owned by women, trucks bigger than F-250s are owned by men, minivans are owned by soccer moms, and Mazda Miatas are owned by young women and balding men.

A couple of days ago I saw something that threw me off -- a man in a suit getting into a Hummer.  For some reason, it just didn't fit.  When I think about Hummers, I think about younger people wearing T-shirts, jeans or shorts, and baseball hats, usually backwards.  I just don't think of a 40-year-old man in a suit.

What about you?  Anything in particular come to mind when you think of certain cars?
