Redneck Taxicab, Redneck Ferrari, Redneck Car Wash and Redneck Power Windows

The New York City taxicab drivers must have negotiated a very lucrative contract after their strike last year because it is not often that you see a Ferrari being employed as a gypsy cab.

The real issue in the strike was GPS tracking of the taxicabs, but money is always a factor in any contract negotiations. However, any cabbie would have to drive a whole lot of hours each week no matter what rate he is charging in order to afford a ride like this Ferrari.

Perhaps this is another example of an eccentric billionaire wanting to add a little excitement to his life, ala New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg. The New York mayor certainly did not run for mayor of the big apple for the money.

The driver of this red hot Ferrari taxicab must enjoy something about the New York cabbie lifestyle to entice him to convert his very expensive Ferrari into a taxi. Perhaps it is the danger zone the cabbies work in.

Taxi drivers seem to be facing ever greater on the job dangers these days. Maybe this redneck is determined to live his life to the fullest, even if his life is cut short over it.

Well, at least there is economy of space involved here. We only have to write about one photo to cover both redneck ferraris and redneck taxicabs.

Our road construction redneck is an example of absolutely classic redneck thinking. Can’t you just envision the road construction foreman looking over his blueprints?

“My prints tell me to build this road right where that power line pole is, and that is where I am going to build it.”

Maybe the foreman is attempting to embarrass one of his supervisors at work. What ever the reason, this road construction snafu may very well result in someone getting the pink slip.

The first video is classic redneck car wash material. The poor fellow driving the white sedan must have had one dreadful day after this car wash episode.



The second video is very entertaining. Who woulda thunk it? Redneck power windows on a pickup truck. I am impressed with this guy’s imagination.

Road Sign Bloopers

Ah, the road sign is an integral part of automotive society. It is generally taken for granted and is usually not the subject of further study--unless, of course, it contains a glaring error. In which case, we all will take enormous delight in wallowing amongst the verbal sludge cast about during the ensuing debate over the merits of our highways' road sign etiquette.

You may have to study these examples somewhat to notice the error of the sign maker's ways. But that merely adds to your pleasure once you discover the gaffe.

Encountering such mistakes is quite rare in this age of digital signage because the sign makers make far fewer errors thanks to their spell checking software.

Perhaps the second sign really has no error but is correctly directing the motorist to the location of the "Keap." If you want to go to the "Keap," turn right.

My guess is that you really cannot get there from here anyway. But the more nagging question is, do you really want to get there?

We will have to leave that debate to a different posting and limit our concern to the more political issue of: if you acquiesce to the sign's command and do keep right, does that brand you as a right wing conservative, or merely label you as prudent? And, is there a difference between the two?

More Paris Hilton Road Construction Humor

One more celebrity at the side of the road-it seems to be pretty busy over there. This time it is Paris Hilton over there and she needs help. But, of course, we all knew that.

Redneck Road Sign


Now that is a prudent use of government funds, that is. Definitely a wise public service announcement. Just think what could occur if an elderly couple picked up the wrong hitchhiker along this stretch of highway. Not all recent parolees have made a vow to go straight, and the wrong parolee could easily ruin your day.

But one really has to be an optimist to pick up a hitchhiker in any event in this modern day. Hitchhikers would generally be considered to be folks who are a little short of funds. And it stands to reason that someone who is down and out may be more apt to bend the law if it suits his purpose simply because he has less to lose. At least that is one school of thought.

Britney Spears Road Construction


Ah! The peripatetic Britney Spears can't stay in any one place for very long. And she is always forgetting to finish dressing. She should keep an extra pair of panties in the glove box for emergencies such as this.

But, of course, where would the publicity be in that? No self-respecting paparazzo would waste film on a pair of panties, not when au naturel is a viable alternative. That candid photo of Brittney's nether region had to fetch at least six figures. I doubt that the Tabloids would even dish out two bits for a panty shot these days.

Of course, the Britney Spears, the Christina Aguileras and the Paris Hiltons of the world realize that skin is in. That is why they show so much of it--because sex sells, and sex makes for much bigger paydays. Although why a billionaire heiress like Paris needs a bigger payday is a bit of a mystery.

Poor Britney earns a mere $70-80 Million per year, and that must be very hard to get by on. Paris' illions, on the other hand begin with a b, not an m, which means that an extra million or two will not really make any significant difference to her.

For Paris, the thrill must be in the chase rather than the pay check, which must make her upcoming incarceration all the less bearable. It is difficult to chase anything when you are locked up 24/7.

Alas, Poor Paris Hilton! Here is a sign recently spotted at a road construction site. Money apparently does not solve all problems!

Road Trip Humor

While driving to California, I realize that nature is calling and spot one of those rest areas on the side of the road. Once in the men’s room, I find the first stall taken, so I head for the second stall. Just as I sit down, I hear a voice coming from the adjoining, first stall:

"Hi, how’s it going?"

Since I am not accustomed to striking up conversations with strangers in washrooms, I don't know how to respond. Finally I reply:

"Not bad."

Then I hear the voice ask:

"So, what are you doing?"

I find that an unusual question, but I reply:

"Well, I'm driving to California and..."

Then I hear the flustered voice interrupt, saying:

"Hey, I'll have to call you back. Every time I ask you a question, some moron in the next stall keeps answering me."

Perhaps a little too much sun can affect one's brain making you do some dumb things. It is a bit on the hot side over there in the Middle East, you know:
