Snow Whip

The children of Worcester County have a snow day, and I'm stuck inside feeling bad because of a cold that knocked me on my ass faster than the black ice on the front stairs. 

Well, since I had some time to do some housekeeping chores that I'd been putting off, and in between trying to make sure that I didn't loose what I ate or drank, I decided to check my email.

Now, this is where the funny part begins.

On Monday, I wrote on the  Worcester Bloggers website about my mother, and the fact that she stays up-to-date on the news and weather by keeping a television tuned to CNN in her GED classroom.  Well, don't you know that she sends me an email and states for my birthday, she's buying me a car.

Most folks would be excited to hear that their mom or dad want to buy them a car, no matter how old you are, but I, on the other hand, thought how is she going to buy me a car, when it's she that needs to retire the 1996 Jeep Cherokee that's seen it's last days?

Here is the vehicle she wrote and told me she's buying for me. via Autoblog.

A hybrid we can get excited about, the Vancat has a whole lot of everything going on. Starting with a full-size Dodge Ram van body mounted on a Thiokol chassis, the Vancat is propelled by a 391 Ford V8 engine and power is routed to a set of German-made Hans Hall aluminum tracks.
