Sexy new car for the well-heeled?

Blog Guy, I drive to my office, but I can never find a parking space. I know you’ve blogged in the past about innovations in urban parking, but I wonder if there have been any more advancements I can look forward to.
As a matter of fact, yes. A company in India is about to market a car shaped like a shoe, so yo don’t even have to find a space. You just pull up, get out and wear it into work!
Here’s a photo of the prototype. I guess that makes it a phototype.
That sounds too good to be true, Blog Guy! Are there any problems with it?
A few problems, yes. Getting a shoe shine can be pretty expensive.
I can handle that. Any other problems?
Yes, right now it only comes in size 260 extra-wide.
Yeah, I guess that could be a deal-breaker, and I see another one, as well.
Really? What’s that?
I’m a guy.

Good grief – a YELLOW handbag with RED shoes!
Is the poor man blind or just fashion-accessory-matching disabled?
Whatever next – drinking red wine from a white wine glass?
You know, I’m a bit worried that this has been up for nearly an hour and we haven’t heard from Shra.
I have to believe she immediately went out to buy one, and is now zipping around Edinburgh at 28 miles per hour, picking off unfashionable pedestrians…
Right, or flip-flops?
Basler.. I think I told you about Jimmy Choos….
And I wouldnt be caught driving a shoe…. Shoes are to wear and drive other fashionistas (and some hunks) crazy…
Thanks for your valuable opinion, Shra. Your call is important to us. BTW, I didn’t pay the energy bill on your taser this month.
Unca, I love ya! Nothing wrong with heels now and them but boy, do I like comfortable shoes. There is something seriously wrong with women having toes lopped off. Must feel worse than that pin in the wax foot figure.
You didnt, I did! Mwaha ha ha ha ha!
Spin… I just found out that a shoe store just round the corner from where I work has Jimmy Choos!!!!
deth race 2010 and the stilleto has the slow moving peds in her sight…

How much would “Back to the Future” have sucked if the DeLorean only had to go 28mph to travel through time? I mean all Marty would have had to do was pull out of the driveway and off he goes to 1955.
Flip-flops are more aerodynamic than heels Mr. B. They could be like the fuel-efficient model of the automotive footwear fleet.
I would reconsider the thought of driving the high heels if there are certain moderations made to it..
1. Painted glassy Ruby Red
2. There is a capsule kinda covering, when I drive.. dont want to mess up my hair, you see.
3. Plush and comfortable seating.
4. Luggage space
5. Someone to pay the fuel bills.
Shra wants a pope-mobile!
