so i drive a hearse for fun
Driving a hearse as a personal car is a lot of fun, plus you always have room for the groceries, a christmas tree and as much potting soil or drywall sheets as you have money for. It's a classic, a 1969 Cadillac/Miller-Meteor. Most people of course freak out, which only adds to the allure of ownership. And of course you must have a coffin in the back. I belong to a hearse car club as there are more freaks like myself and my husband all over here in the States. Many people ask us if the hearse is haunted, which we find a tad silly, as everyone knows you haunt the place where you died, or lived, not in the coach they cart you off in, but whatever...
Anyhow, one day I'm driving down the street and stop at a red light. a homeless woman on the corner waved cheerfully at me, or so i thought. as i hesitantly returned her wave, she laughed and said "I'm not waving at you silly, I'm waving at the nice lady next to you". I was alone in the car. but okay, crazy homeless lady...disregard and move on. Talked to the guy I bought the coach from and he's had it happen to him too. different homeless lady and different town, but same situation, wave, nice lady who's not there, etc...Did some research and found out the coach saw 30 years of service as both a hearse and ambulance in Missouri before making its' way to California. So we may very well have a rider. Wish she'd chip in for gas!
We also have a solid mahogany extra large coffin, made custom for the king of tonga, which was eventually not used by him and rented by the funeral director to a movie company to be featured in a gay porno in the late 90's. It has a cream coloured velvet interior. Fabulous! He's a friend of ours and we bought it to make a lovely coffee table. But that's another QOTW topic.
But what really creeps me out? surinam toads giving birth. go ahead, youtube it. but you won't be the same. i warned you.

Most people freak out? Really?
I suspect you could count the total number of people who have ever freaked out about your choice of car on the fingers of no hands.
