RIP Good Driving
Posted: Tue May 19, 2009 12:05 pm
For those of you who don't get Car and Driver, I ran across this in the June issue. It's part of John Phillips' column, where he reports the satirical demise of different things. I thought this one was too funny and a little too true.
Gone But Not Forgotten
Good Driving, 73, Murdered
Driving with care, smoothness, competency and skill was found DOA in a gutter on Detroit's Woodward Avenue last Saturday night by two instructors from the Skip Barber school. Good driving appeared to be a victim of a "senseless act," said an officer at the scene. Detectives declined to speculate on the cause of death but did cite roving gangs of unusually active cell-phone and texting suspects who frequent not only Woodward Avenue, but also every single g*dd*mn inch of paved road in America. Good driving had been in decline for years and was preceded in death by Common Courtesy.
