Eureka!

There's good news today!
According to the Associated Press, the last Chrysler PT Cruiser -- the ugliest car on four wheels -- rolled off an assembly line in Mexico last Friday,
Maybe somewhere there is a car that is uglier, but I don't know where. AP describes it, charitably, as "a cross between an old-time milk truck and luxurious sedans of the 1930s."
Years ago, Ford produced a contender, a sedan with too much fin and a surplus strip of chrome that wandered, crazily, all the way across the middle of the roof. It was a wretched sight, but it didn't make me mutter coarse words every time I saw one. The PT Cruiser does that.
Now I know there will be PT Cruisers on the highways for many, many years, decades after I've had to give up muttering about them. But I can hope my great-grandchildren will have seen the last of them.
