Well guess what? I saw a car yesterday in the north lane of I-5. Why did it catch my eye? Well, it was a late model, ORANGE T3 with dealer luggage rack! I was headed south to my dad's for Thanksgiving. Passes it again last night. This morning I drove out there and placed a DDB business card along with a sticky note with my name (in case the owner wanted to sell it) under the driver's windshield wiper. The car looks like a train wreck :-( Then I saw the note taped to the rear glass by the owner explaining to whomever not to tow it (P.S. there's a sheriff's tow-tag on it...bright pink, next to the note) and the note was signed by...C. Rochambeau! I thought I recognized that name! So, as of 12:10pm it was still there :-) Now, the purpose of my message is this: TELL US WHERE YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU DRIVE! C'mon volks, we can't read minds! Well, the DDB is closed for the holliday but you could get it towed there if you wanted. Call me (my cell # is on the note) and I can make arrangements to meet you at the shop. I've got plans today so I can't help (but I could've yesterday) today...girlfriend is yelling at me, gotta go!
