More Cars

I'm back online. This is an old post that I've been meaning to clear out... but didn't want to incase I ruined the suprise:

The fellow had flown back to his home institution and had gotten his Ph.D. This was a gift from some of his friends... They were nice, however, they put paper towels under the tin foil to make sure it didn't scratch up the car!

And a French friend of mine was particularly proud the other day because she had gotten her first bummper sticker -- a very american thing to do (though its content suits her well):

But she still has a way to go:

The whole story is : I HAD to come up with a bumper sticker BEFORE my crazy collegues do it for me. They thought that my car was not "americanized" enough, and they probably would have sticked something like "I love Jesus" or "Support our troops". I just wanted to minimize the damages ;)

By the way : the car wrapped in aluminium paper is the work of my crazy collegues. You see now why I was worried about my own car...

My favorite bumper sticker:

"Your child might be an honor student, but you are an idiot!"

On a family type van:

"Warning: In case of rapture this vehicle will be unmanned .... and full of passengers"

It's a disaster !

I had to bring my car to a garage. And they ruined my experiment. They washed my car. A year and half of work destroyed in few minutes. I'm devastated....

Crap! That is American service for you!!
