Got Us a Convoy

It was a rabbit convoy.  Half a dozen Volkswagen Rabbit's traveling the highway together. Each car customized so that it rode so low to the ground that the furry variation of the rabbit would have had a hard time squeezing underneath.

Not a big car to begin with, a single VW Rabbit riding that low might have been overlooked completely - even in the middle of a busy highway.  But six of them in a row was enough to make all the other cars slow down to a pace that would have made a tortoise proud.


All of which gave me time to assess the low riding wonders....and wonder that the bottoms of the cars hadn't been ripped out at the last bump in the road. What would possess a person to modify a car so that a single speed bump could leave the car high and dry - all four tires spinning in the air and the chassis teetering just like a teeter-totter.

It occurred to me later that what the convoy had really resembled was one of those wooden Brio trains set loose in traffic.
