18 years ago, I read this comedic Los Angeles Times Magazine article that introduced me and the sibs to a funny roadtrip game. I thought it was freakin’ awesome and the sibs and I ended up referencing Ms Fitch’s lexicon for years. Considering that California is full of drivers of questionable prowess and/or taste, we had no trouble spotting a rusty Technicolor Pachyderm, a Metal Mama on the tailgate, or a Tile Tuneup.
Living in Indiana plus 18 years of technological advances means that the list needs updating. Humbly, I submit some additions for the next generation.
Unsafe Text: Driver swerves all over the place, paying attention more to the Crackberry than to the road. An update to “Busy Signal” and just as dangerous.
The South Shall Rise Again: Pickup truck with the Stars and Bars/and or “Redneck” on any part of truck. Bonus if driver blares Southern Rock or Country.
Bling Bling: an older car…with accessories worth more than the car itself.
Much Clown Love: A Juggalo behind the wheel. Count a point for every ICP/Psychopathic Records logo on vehicle. Five points if drinking Faygo.
Soapbox: a car with more than five bumper stickers.
Maybe other readers would like to add more entries.
