Have yourself a Polka-Dotty Christmas!

December 23, 2007 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

The Too Good to be Threw Mobile

May your days be polka-dot…

and may all your Christmases be dotty….

and yes, the polka dots are real. And yes, people laugh when I drive down the street. Isn’t it grand? That I can bring such happiness to them?

I’m thinking of getting a clown nose to wear while driving. And getting a whole slew of little people for friends who can pile out at stoplights and run around real fast before they pile back in. Might as well go all the way. Beep beep.

Have a holly jolly polka-dot Christmas!

    Thanks Cathy, no, I have always had silver PTs. One of my greatest marketing brainstorms, which Chrysler has not seen fit to take me up on, is for PTs to come in one special extra color per year, like flamingo, teal, chartreuse…PTers are often so attached to the brand, some would buy a new one just to get that color…

    And Goodie, THINK LIKE A RESALE shopkeeper! Figure OUT how to do something. Go around (pun intended.) For example, I can imagine your spouse might not be terribly fond of your painting polka dots on the family car. But thinking sideways…my polka dots are magnets. Doesn’t affect the resale value of the car. And I can rearrange the dots to my heart’s content, thereby amazing, confounding, and amusing my neighbors endlessly. I could just see YOUR dots, with your biz-card info on them, and “take one”….
