Pink, hairy steering wheel covers and other ignorant things people do to, or with, their cars

Send us a textI saw a pink, hairy cover on a steering wheel the other day (it's not a rare sighting around here). The owner was sitting in her car in the turn lane at a red light....the green arrow lit up...but she didn't budge. I supposed she was either blinded from the long, pink hairs on the steering wheel OR just really "into" her cell phone. I did what you would have done....I honked as I judged her for her inattentiveness and her pink steering wheel cover. She flipped me off and laid a patch of rubber on the asphalt...and she unknowingly helped me come up with a podcast topic.Email Lennie at [email protected]
