Hood, Hood?
Cars wear hoods now, do they?

Here, some have a "sunroof", which in the UK leak water 364 days per year, but which the owners can open (in order to to expose themselves to the fumes) on the one day when it doesn't rain. The only kind of clothes worn by cars in Britain (note: I don't say 'British cars'; it's an oxymoron) are Victorian in nature; bonnets and boots.

By the way, in the UK only bus companies fuel their vehicles with gas; (and it stinks). The civilised buy petrol. But it costs about $5 per gallon.....

And even elephants sport their trunks at the front.

Bitter? Moi?
No, I've just a sneaking sympathy with Norman's point of view....
