If a tree falls on a Pontiac, in the hood, It both makes a sound and attracts a crowd.

Was out of town at a family reunion, and my dear, funny, old grandmother’s expertly timed funeral (She was 85, middle of 9 brothers and sisters, had a great life and about 75 nieces, nephews, and assorted blood relatives overstuffed in a small chapel. The Royal Canadian Navy also came to pay their respects to the Lady who gave them four sailors.)

Travelling in two cars at the same time, I got the old “where are you, my car won’t start” phone call. Thanks from Mrs. Doorhandle to the kids at the gas station for the pushstart. Got a new, wrong sized battery crammed in the Fit and off we went. In between family affairs, and a superb mexican brunch made by our mexican cousin*, a tree fell on my Vibe.

Apparently I’m out of typing time. So more later: A TREE FELL ON MY PONTIAC AND THEY DONT EVEN MAKE THEM ANYMORE!

also look at this baby, driving his first Pontiac.

I didn't think Canada had hoods. I figured those nice people on HGTV would've fixed up all the houses by now.

Depends. Are you in Pontiac, Michigan?

Well, I’ll see your Pontiac (which you can’t really see in those pictures) and raise you a Dodge Challenger with the Scat Pack.

Actually, this is the super-heart-of darkness-crackstravaganza hood. My buddy’s house. We’re from the hood, not afraid of the hood, but he’s not enjoying the super-hood.

No, this was in Winnipeg, Pritchard ave. between Aikins and Salter for any bad neighborhood aficionados

Thought you’d appreciate the chorus, given the circumstances.

And this is another reason why I avoid that city. Unfortunately it doesn’t always work out...
