Jordan Is A Car Guy

We go through the dive-in line at Chick-Fil-A and when we get our order there are stickers on the both the drink lids and the food bags. The info on those stickers consist of which of the two lanes we are in, the name you gave the order person and a description of the vehicle. This lets the runners know the correct car to bring the food to.

We have been going to get that tasty chicken in numerous forms about once every 3 or 4 weeks since we have been here and every time the Vehicle ID is listed as a White or Silver SUV. Our regular ol’ Cooper, not a Clubman or Countryman, has only two doors and when was the last time an SUV was produced with just two doors?

Today our stickers said Silver Coupe because Jordan must be a car guy and he correctly knew Mini does not equal SUV and 2-doors equals coupe.

The first two generations of the Boxster were too bathtubby looking, but this 4th gen looks right. I’ll probably never go trail running, rock crawling or slick rock driving, maybe I’ll take up farming. Call me crazy for picking a 30-year old Porsche with a 150 thousand miles on it, I won’t mind.

Everyone should own a Lamborghini, especially in bright giallo. For off-roading or on road after the Zombie Apocalypse. The GT stands for Grand Touring, so touring is right in its name.
