This reminds me of something that happened many years ago.  I was living
in Scotland at the time at a military post.  A friend of mine from Texas
had a set of longhorns sent over from Texas so he could mount them on
the front of his XJE Jaguar.  These horns nearly spanned the entire
front of his hood/bonnet.  The first Grampian police car that saw him
pulled him over and immediately had him take the horns off for the same
reason.

Auto manufactures in Europe will have to remove hood ornaments over
concerns about pedestrian injuries when/if struck by a car.

One can only wonder then, as to why they would the allow use of bumpers
on cars (I mean, compared to a hood ornament, a bumper can really do
some harm!!).

Honestly, there appears to be no limit to the absurdity of it all.


Have a great week   :-D

Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty and
well preserved body, but rather to skid in
broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming:

        -- WOW!!!   What a Ride! --
