DID I JUST SEE THAT?

I know to each their own when it comes to taste but seriously sometimes I think it would be better if people were able to refuse to do things in bad taste. While driving down the highway today there was a car that at first glance from behind seemed normal, nice even, a dark grey BMW 3series. However that impression quickly fell apart as we pulled along side it. Do you remember that scene from "Steel Magnolias" about the groom's cake? It was red velvet and frosted and shaped like an armadillio. They made the comment that it was unappetizing to cut into your cake when it appeared to be a dead animal. Well that is exactly what I though of when I saw this car up close. It had red hubcaps, and bright red seats and interior! And with the dark grey exterior it looked like roadkill driving down the street, ugh. But what was even slightly more surpising than a mobile roadkill was that it was a 50-ish and stylish looking woman driving it! All I can think is she thought it looked young and fresh and the salesman just wanted a sale, not cool. So while I will continue to try and respect most people's taste and opinions, there will continue to be some I just want to smack and say "What were you thinking?"
