Cars and Traffic

Is this guy insane? He’s camped out for the new iPhone days in advance.

A fellow in Houston REALLY wants the new iPhone. He’s camped out days in advance outside an Apple store in Houston. And he’s vlogging about the experience.

Why don’t people camp out like this for the new Ford Taurus? That’s a video I’d like to see.

“This is Ivan Reporterontheair from Channel 6 News. We are live outside the Ford dealership downtown where John Ilovethetaurus is camped out three months in advance of the debut of next year’s new Taurus model. John, why do you love the Taurus so much?”

“Thanks, Ivan, I love your stuff on Channel 6, like the time you danced with that bear at the zoo. Too bad he ate your hand. Sorry about that. Anyway, yeah I love the Taurus. Woooo hoooo! I love it. It’s the best car!”

“Well, John, you are camped out months in advance. Isn’t that a little excessive?”

“Well, maybe. My therapist warned me against it. Said it was too much. But, dang it, I love the Taurus! Woooooo! My first car was a Taurus. I got my first job in a Taurus. I lost my virginity in a Taurus. Yehaw, I love me some Taurus driving!”

“Gee, John, I hate to tell you, but Ford discontinued the Taurus. You can’t buy one anymore.”

“What? ARE YOU SERIOUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS?…Dang it all to heck…Gosh darn it!…OK…OK…OK, mama, let break camp and head over to the Chevy store and get ready for the new Malibu.”
