A Terrible Looking Vehicle
First, a quick note on reinstalling operating systems. I’ve owned 3 Apple computers of my own, and on all 3 I have had to, at some point in time, reinstall their operating system! What a task this is! Yesterday, after installing a software update, I restarted my computer only to have it stop when launching the login window. I took it down to the very helpful people who run tech stuff for our department and they were able to view log files that shows what the computer was doing; some of the problems were mentioned and diagnosed on support forums. But in the end, online solutions failed and I was forced to reinstall. This required borrowing a large external drive and purchasing a 6-pin to 9-pin firewire cable, all so I could use Lauren’s computer to copy my hard drive. Then, I was able to reinstall and finally port my data back onto my laptop. The entire process, from beginning to end was 10 hours long. Thankfully, very little of that time was spent with me actually doing something. So, computers: more trouble than they are worth? Discuss.
Anyway, onward with the title point: Lauren and I went to Target yesterday and while walking through the parking lot, we saw the most hideously ugly vehicle I’ve ever seen. Seating 7 passengers and with an estimated fuel efficiency below 20 MPG, the vehicle was the Ford Flex. If you think you have never seen an ugly car, then you have never seen the Flex.
It’s not that tall, certainly shorter than most vans or SUVs. And it’s long, as long as the van it parked next too. And the one we saw had ugly paneling, maybe even the wood paneling that is available; I can’t remember because I was so disgusted and didn’t look for long. It gets terrible gas mileage and is somehow what Ford designers and engineers think will help the company. How have these idiots remained employed? If Ford was owned by the government, then I would call for their immediate termination.
