Lexus Man

Yesterday morning around 6:30, as I was driving on a near-deserted rural stretch of highway south of Dallas on my way to a distant meeting, I saw a car zooming up behind me.  This is an odd occurrence, given the speed at which I usually drive, but nonetheless, a sapphire-blue car going about 90 eased toward me.  As it approached, I could see the driver had a nice pimp thing going, leaning over in his seat, single arm resting on the steering wheel.  I liked him already.  As he passed, his car registered to me as a mid-90s generic American vehicle, probably a Ford.  But when he pulled ahead of me, I saw that the car said Lexus on the back. I pondered this for a couple of seconds, trying to remember at what point Lexus could have had a design such as that.  Then it hit me.  The guy had taken all the hardware off of the back of the car (no dealer branding, no logo), and he’d added the Lexus name to the back.  Dude got himself a Lexus.

I’m in love.
