Car porn at church...

The wife and I have been taking a Monday night marriage class over the past few weeks at church. The congregation is a mix of income scales, as evidenced by the wide range of automobiles and motorcycles in the church parking lot. I'm just as likely to see a beat up old Honda Civic from the 80's to a roaring Harley Davidson hog to a Bentley Continental GT on any given Sunday.

Yesterday evening, though, I saw something completely different--a three-wheeled motorcycle/car mash-up very similar to the Volkswagen GX3 concept pictured above, except it had a BMW badge. I stared at it for awhile, then made my way back to my own more staid mode of transportation feeling a lust that one shouldn't have in their heart, especially at church. I had a slight glimmer of a dream of myself owning such a feat of engineering at some point in my life, but then had a wave of depression as I watched the owner walk up to his bike/car. A balding, overweight guy in his 50's wearing the epitome of old men with lots of leisure time and money--the Hawaiian-print Tommy Bahama shirt. To think I'll probably never have the chance to drive such things until I'm that old. Ugh.
