That would make more sense...but it adds an extra dimension of funny for me to have him seem to be the driver leaning way over there. Of course, the strip is really funny on its own. And I can definitely see the appeal of iPods, but for me there's something special about actually physically having an album, with an actual CD that you can pop into you computer or boombox or portable CD player, and with an insert that has album-related art and often lyrics in it. And then there's the loudness factor -- nothing like just blasting music. Oh…he’s supposed to be the PASSENGER?

I briefly encountered them when they were still pretty much unheard of. They were on tour with their second album and the song "Leader of Men" hadn't really taken off yet. Europe -- Yeah, that was a BIG flub on my part! To mix Winger with Europe is a BAD thing. Even back in the day! I would think Wit’s actual meeting of the band would have made your husband jealous.

It was great. But I have to admit, they're not as good on gas as one would think. I had a new model. 2000. It was great. But I have to admit, they’re not as good on gas as one would think.

Yes EUROPE! Don't tell a girl who's living in SWEDEN that "Winger" did "Final Countdown!" My goodness. Good thing no Swede's heard you. It's like their national anthem. Also, you made my hubby very jealous with the Nickelback story. She's not on the wrong side! Look again! In panel 2, she's driving towards us. That would be the correct side :) (Unless you're in the UK... or Japan... etc...) LMAO Lucas! Yes EUROPE! Don’t tell a girl who’s living in SWEDEN that “Winger” did “Final Countdown!” My goodness.

That happened to me once. Except I was singing Countdown to Extinction by Megadeth. Or, was it the Final Countdown by Winger? Ah well, it was embarrassing either way! I saw Nickelback a few years ago before their first album came out. They were on tour with Sevendust and before the show they were handing out demo CDs to people for free. Pretty cool. Great toon.
