Former Proponent of Livable, Walkable City Purchases Big Friggin’ Cadillac

This post was part of an April Fools Day joke.

“For awhile, I liked walking,” says Jed Hopkins, of Maryland Avenue NE.  “But I noticed everybody does that around here.  And if it’s one thing I’m not, it’s a joiner. So I went out and got a really big gas guzzler that’s 18-19 feet long.  It’s hard to park.  My Johnny-come-lately neighbors with the backyard chickens and windmill powered ipads throw me some mean-ass looks.  And filling up my monster brings a grown man to his knees in pain.  But dude, the majesty of the ride, the sound system, the way I can lay out and take a nap in this baby is awesome!”

I'd drive the hell outta that thing. It would be the coolest ride in Trinidad. I'd even put horns on it.

I think that the only people who could get away with driving something like that is someone who has parking, doesn't depend on a car to get around and commute, and won't need to worry about mileage much.
