Side story, in 1980, I bought my first brand new

I bought it in a bright orange. Darn car was run

owned! 8^)


Bright orange, huh? Interesting color choice. Anyway, didn't you notice
the number of orange cones littering the highways around construction sites?
I don't know if people just can't see them or they intentionally run over
them. I worked at a truck rental place many years ago and a customer
returned a truck one afternoon with an orange cone dangling under the front.
When I asked him about it, he said it must have come from the construction
site he went through up the road. Obviously, he wasn't even aware that he
had run over it. Hopefully there was no worker standing near that cone. If
so, he fell off before the truck got to our location. ;-)
