Are they possibly in league with the squirrels? Seems like there have been quite a few failed suicide attacks lately...

No need to worry about your back end in this case, Mud. This was a ball python.

It figures the garage would be located on Hisssssston Road...

Morning, mud... glad to hear the queen's on the mend. Take care of yourself, okay?

i want a family saloon car. the family that drinks and drives together probably gets a group rate at the funeral home.

What is a saloon car, please? Has anybody heard that term? Sedan, wagon, SUV, pickup these type of vehicles will transport you TO the saloon.

That question occured to me too, Jessica. I've heard of designated drivers, but designated cars too?
Maybe it's the one with the most cupholders?

Ohhh, that could be, Meanie!
Posted by: Jessica R. | March 06, 2007 at 09:03 AM
It had to be snakes!

This might have something to do with our current query...

BTW, I believe Saturn will be selling these cars as Saturn Astras. Not sure if it comes with all the options they have in Europe, like right-hand drive or reptiles.

This is the excuse the authorities have been searching for to force the Vauxhall Astra off the road as probably the worst motor in the UK. The snake was a plant by the Style Police.

"Saloon" is the British version of "sedan". Thank you, Wikipedia.

TIme for a recall? Um...okay, how about this: "I recall the time the snake died in our car and after we found it, we could never get the smell out, but BOY, did the dog love going for a ride after that..."

Apparently the Vauxhall Astra is dangerous all around, attacking this million-dollar+ Bugatti without warning. Although the writer of the item seems to suggest the fine gentleman with more money than sense might have driven into the Astra. Surely this couldn't be true.

Evidently the ignorant owners did not check the list of options clearly posted on the door.Under luxury interior it clearly states:
Python for removal of mice. 600 pounds
If you don't read the list of options you won't be able to figure out how they take a $4500 car and turn it into a car which only costs $15,000 off the lot.
It's like reading page seventeen of your life insurance plan which includes paragraph 98 which clearly states:
There's no way in hell you will see a dime of the
insurance company's money unless you can prove a
meteor landed on your head.
