    Dig the new elephant! Well, today I picked up my rental car (Fiat 500), which is a nice little car (emphasis on 'little'). Driving in Rome is not unlike a video game, minus the health/weapons drops and save game feature. The Autostrada, well, you just go as fast as you can. When you rent a...

    Well...in the security line, I noticed the guy in front of me dropped a $100 bill. I point it out and bend to pick it up...then my mini falls from my pocket, shattering the tank and breaking the end off my doughnut Trippy tip. .... Sent from my microwave by Tapatalk
