although that one is definitely up there mm,
my vote is the nuclear bomb followed by, finishing a close second, the gas powered leaf blower.

i would have to say that the PT barely edges out the hummer for absolute worst stretch. although the hummer un-stretched would definitely win as a much worse invention.

lol...fart-pipes! That's rich. How appropos...

AP - I'll never understand our strange American urge to make everything into a stretch limo. Since our consumerism seems to know no bounds, perhaps a stretch shopping cart is not too far behind...

garpike -- I used to live right by that shoe shop, passed it every day on the way to the 405...have you seen the big black boot that's there now? Not sure if he/she upgraded the red boot or if it's a totally different car, but..,it's pretty funny either way. -- you might have already shown it...not all the images appeared for me here.

from JdesP's link:

PROPER CHIA PET DISPOSAL

To properly dispose of your Chia Pet, you should contact the Chia Disposal Hotline at 1-800-555-3344. You should NEVER discard Chia Pet plants in the trash, flush down the toilet or incinerate them yourself.

Looks like FLW may have started the 'stretch-limo' thing. That thing is plain vulgar. Sorry, but it beats the stretch-Merc (& the rest of 'em).

...but I like the stretch-Mini (even if it is a chick's car) & the Toe-Truck (a MAN-mobile).

JdesP, is that a real story? Weird.

Brocc, yeah I have seen the black boot. I think it is new, which poses one question: Where's the other boot and is someone driving it now?

"Unless something is done immediately, nearly all the red-rock formations in New Mexico will be covered with Chia Pet plants in five years" warns Mendelsohn.

That is laughable...come visit us in New Mexico and you will see why.
