Walking to the BART (yes even carma editors take public transportation) station last week welcomed our first 9. Early morning and waiting for the signal at Adeline I heard the distinctive loping exhaust sound of an old muscle car and then see a most beautiful thing. Goth-girl, age hard to say but guessing 20's, driving the most gothic of all autos, a black hearse. Did anyone see Harold and Maude? Okay, this in itself is pretty compatible, but I bet California alone has 5 goth-kids driving black hearses. However, this one was most uniquely and painstakingly decorated with spires and turrets and details all painted the same somber shade of flat black of the rest of the car. The topmost of all the decorations easily reached the height of your average semi-truck -- a rolling castle of the damned. We should all aspire to this kind of compatibility.
