Spotted at Work: The Quantum Car

Good evening, everyone! This is the first of a series of posts that I will make after each night that I work. Since I often don't have time to create a more substantial post on these days, I anticipate them probably acting as filler. Each of these posts will feature the most interesting car that I happened to see while working. This one comes in a little late, but it's the Car of the Evening for Wednesday, February 8. Without further ado, I give you the:

You might be wondering why the subtitle in this post is "The Quantum Car." Let me explain: Last night, while leaving work, and feeling thoroughly discouraged by the fact that the most interesting car I had managed to see was a Fiat 500 (which didn't even have the decency to be an Abarth), I came across the car of the evening. It was canary yellow, visible even in the low light emanating gently from the nearby Sonoma store front. I could tell it was a Dodge; their profile is quite distinct. I found myself drawn toward not only the garrish color, but also by the ragged black stripes that ripped across that otherwise spotless yellow canvas. As I walked toward it, it became clear that the car was yearning to tell me something. There was something written in the black areas on the door. It said "Daytona." And that's when things took a turn for the Twilight Zone. I rushed home to Google this beautiful piece of machinery, only to find that the model I saw, according to the omniscient eye of Google, did not exist. I was flummoxed, perplexed, stumped, baffled, and bewildered. Puzzled, mystified, confounded, and befuddled. Confused, even. So, I began to theorize. The only explanation that seemed plausible was that the car that I had seen was composed of quantum material, and thus possessed the qualities thereof. In short, it only existed as long as you weren't looking for it. The moment you start to look for it, it no longer exists. Much like the entrance to Narnia. Of course, after deciding that this must be the case, I went back on Google. Much to my disappointment, the Daytona is just a souped-up Charger.  This 2006 car has a 5.7L MDS Hemi V8, and develops 350 bhp giving it a top speed of about 170 mph. So, this is at least a respectable vehicle, even if it isn't made of quantum particles. Also, that paint job known as "Top Banana." That's sure strike terror into the little four-cylinder hearts of lesser vehicles.

Top Banana. Just think about it. Top B.A.N.A.N.A.

May I make a suggestion, Dodge? Perhaps you should have gone with something like "Daytona Day-glow Puke." No one gets in the way of puke on purpose. NO ONE.
