Musical Cars

Alex bought a new car.

Well, he bought a Volkswagen Jetta about a month ago.

About a year ago, when I was shopping for iPods, I noticed that you can buy a VW Bug as an accessory. VW is always doing crazy things like that... for the Bug.

Alex didn't buy a Bug, but he still was the receiver of VW's fun. Yesterday, as I let myself in my front door, I was surprised to see a big white box from VW in the middle of the floor. Addressed to Alex, it had a number of labels on it referring to his Jetta and the color and the transmission and the "guitar." Guitar? I figured it was some accessory or something. Something you stick in the trunk.

Turns out, it was an accessory. And it probably will spend a lot of time in the trunk. But it's a car accessory like a car is an iPod accessory.

Alex tore the box open to reveal a quite nice white electric acoustic guitar, which he can plug right into his VW. (Cuz it's safe to drive and play the guitar, right?)

So now Alex is the proud owner of a guitar. That he has no idea how to play.

This ought to be funny...
