Right. A few months ago, I was talking to my son, and we got onto his pickup.
He said it was holding up ok, but once he graduated (next year), he wanted to
replace it, and that he was thinking of a motorcycle. I replied that that *did*
make me nervous, since I'd read and heard from bikers that the question is not
*if* you go down, but when.

He responded that, considering the coming Zombie Apocalypse, what with all the
broken down cars, he'd be able to drive around them, and up on the sidewalk,
and so be able to get away from the zombies....
