Fun Cars

The more I think about it, the more I realize how weird it is that we drive cars.  Not because of the transportation part, but because we make them so big and heavy and deadly.  Who thought it was a good idea to wrap thousands of pounds of steel around something that winces over a papercut?  Here’s a tidbit for you: Paper cuts don’t hurt as much as steel cuts!  Often I use the ‘years from now’ analogy but I don’t even think I need to go into the future for this one. I’ll go into space instead.  Extra Terristrel…..Extra Tarestri….Xtra Turrets….

Space People are probably looking down at our planet and seeing thousands of car accidents every day, happening almost non-stop all over the planet (This would be the place where you would insert your own stereotypical joke such as -They thought car wrecks were bleaching techniques because every person who got in one was a blond.  But I do not make, nor to I believe in such humor).

It literally looks to them like we’re playing a giant game of earth bumper cars.  So after giving this as much thought as I could, which really isn’t much, I have designed a new car that would put the fun back into driving.  My new car body will be just a series of giant clear airbags.  No steel, just airbags that are already ballooned up.  Each car will look like a giant bubble bath.  And when we get into an accident we will just bounce right off of each other and then continue on our merry way.  And it will even be fun and hilarious to those watching as we plow into each other.

Seeing two or more cars collide and fly up into the air, bouncing every which way before finally coming to a jello like stop.  Road rage will be replaced by belly laughs.  Cutting people off will be met with a hardy smile and a thumbs up instead of that other finger we like to use.

My bubble cars will make it look to the space people like we are funniest, most awesome planet in the entire world! Won’t they be jealous?  That’s probably why they’ll blow us up with their Ray-Guns.
