Waste not, want not

You have to give this guy props...

I was N/B on Vermont, having turned left from E/B Olympic, coming back from another day in Beverly Hills... Well, it was my first day in 90210 this year.

I had to snatch up my camera and hurriedly take this photo. Had I been a tush behind this spot ("a tush behind..." get it?) the photo would have more clearly shown how deeply rusted the roof support was.

The odds are very good that the driver is not the original owner. The odds are just as good that the driver is an illegal alien, unlicensed and uninsured. Or as they saw in the insurance industry (if they happen to have read my mind on this subject already, an IUU. Which is immediately followed by 'ting tang, walla walla bing bang. (You have to old to get this one, plus you have to pronounce the three letters in Spanish.)

But still he gets props. How much have you sunk into your car this year? All he's paid for is black market gas, which is sold in the barrios for $10 for a five gallon gas container fill up. Which is basically $10 pure profit because it's stolen gas.

Both the really, really poor, and the really, really rich are the best at finding ways to not have to spend money.
