The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 03, 2022

Too many same model and color cars.

“Remember, we parked in the Itchy Lot!”

It happened to me once. Identical new parked next to mine.

I was actually able to turn the key and open the door of a car that looked like mine. The honking alarm alerted me to my mistake.

I did this just the day before yesterday.

I have something unique hanging on my rearview mirror that identifies my car from other similar cars.

I came out of home depot and got in my truck except it wasn’t my truck. From the out side it looked like my truck but from the inside it looked like a dumpster. I only realized this when I was fully seated and looking out the windshield at my truck.

When I bought my last car, the salesman said that it was one of the most popular models/colours sold in the U S and A. That was a real turn-off but I bought it anyway.

I have one of these and look before getting in.

And why may I ask did she not stop to pick up milk on the way home? Hmmm?

Darn! We could have used a new car.

whoops, I bet the people were surprised to see someone trying to get in. :D

I did that once. I then checked the license plate and realized it wasn’t my car. When in doubt, check the plate(s).

Does Wilberforce have a chance? Perhaps he’ll get Uncle Teds genes. If the alarm does not sound – check around. DUH! Look at license plate – DUH! Gladys look around the car for dents – none. It ain’t yours. DUH!

Back in the ‘60s, September would be the time when all the new models would come out. Now days all the companies must use one design for their cars. Buick suv looks like Kia or Hyundai or Rav 4 etc.

Sometimes you do things that you just don’t want to let others know that you did. This is one of those times…..

Brutus got a little shook up!

today’s “trucks” all look the same – bloated. (actually, if one studies the vehicles from any given era 90% or so look the same)

I know that’s happened to me before. Hasn’t it happened to all of us?

It didn’t occur to you something’s wrong, since you never lock the car?

Was there ever a couple who were better suited for each other. Include Wilberforce and you can make that couple a family.

I was glad I knew exactly where I parked at Walmart last week.When I came out there was a car the same color, make, (and presumably year), nose to nose with mine in the parking lot…The other one , however; had FOP decals on the windshield.

I knew of a guy who drove home, but the car was not his. The next day after realizing the car was not his he found the owner. Later during the day he found his car where he parked it the day before. He and the other person learned their keys were interchangeable.

I’m glad Gladys’ situation was less complicated.

And he only charged me $175.00 dollars.

I just need to peek in the windows if I am not sure, since most cars look alike to me these days. My car has dog stuff in it, plus many masks, different kinds. I also know my license plate number, just in case.

I would have expected that from Brutus. Or even Uncle Ted. But Gladys? Not a promising sign.

Random musings:

At least it was covered under their auto club membership.

If Mother Gargle were there, I’m sure she’d get off an least one shot about being disappointed in Gladys — that she couldn’t easily recognize their Model T.

Brutus has two choices: (1) Toss a couple of zingers Gladys’ way in honor of the occasion. (2) Use the situation to convince her that now would be a good time to get that racing stripe he’s been wanting painted on the car — she’ll never again get confused about which car is theirs.

It’s supposed to be Brutus who’s an oaf; not Gladys.

Nowadays it is extremely possible.

If figures!!
