    If I could get my wife to understand this then she might finally get why the cat won’t sit in her lap,… especially when there is a laptop already there.

    Oh, yes, everyone loves the puppies and babies until the cuteness wears off. And they dote on their new cars even more, waxing, wiping, and banning puppies and babies that might sully those new interiors…

    But once the novelty wears off and things start going wrong, they all seem to get kicked to the curb. There’s a breed-specific rescue group for nearly every type of dog in every city, for instance. And of course, for geriatric humans, there is the entire state of Arizona to offer them refuge.

    But what about those poor old muscle cars, broken down and forgotten relics of a bygone era? Does anyone know if there is a Bitchin’ Camaro Rescue group anywhere? Everybody seems so taken with their cute new little Priuses…or is that Prii?

    Celebrities are off this chart to the far right, at the point where the “B” line completes a bell curve and falls back into “broken” territory.

    Stripe: Check out the vid on this page (http://musclecarrescue.com/Main.html), and this blog (http://blog.cardomain.com/tag/basketcase/).

    Perhaps not as many as for dog breeds, but there are angels for muscle cars, too. ;) Now, old vacuum cleaners, on the other hand…

    Jaime, I’m sorta with you. The amount of attention that celebrities need is off the charts. and somehow they needs to be represented as broken…

    Jessica makes it look easy.

    Oh, I so live in the land of broken…dogs, horses, cats, dishwashers,phones, washing machines…at least the people in my life are functional!
