i found a new way to conserve electricity

this is a letter to the car with no lights on during my drive home. driving with only your parking lights on when it's dark outside doesn't really get the job done. especially when you are in a black car. it might work if you were in a neon green car.

to answer your question that i just made up during this imaginary debate we're having, yes, i do see that all of the other cars lights are sufficiently lighting the road. but here's the thing, head lights in this scenario are really more for the other motorists. without them, they can't see you.

and i know, because your bumper sticker told me so, that your guardian angel is your co-pilot, but unless they're holding a flashlight, we're liable to run both you and your angel down because we can't see you.

god willing, you'll get crushed by a semi.

Guardian angel is the brand of a very specialized force field. I'm surprised you haven't read about it on the internets. It repels semis and all moving vehicles, but is really vulnerable to moose and of course red shells.
