Global Warming and Datsun Trucks

[Victor Laury]

Al Gore warned me, but I didn't listen. Because of this, I just lost my perfect PL521 ashtray...

"WTF" you ask? I'll tell you and warn you too.

I was very happy when I found my perfect ashtray. I paid good money and was happy to do so. I already have 3 less-than-perfect examples, so the perfect one was exciting and went into the dash as soon as I got it.

Then comes the summer heat wave, The Al Gore Special. We've had some brilliant days out here in SoCal, and I hear it's much the same throughout the country.

My perfect ashtray was basking in the sun, or more like baking, when the propane lighter, hidden within, exploded. Obviously, from the fragments ashtray and lighter, strewn throughout the cab, with some force. Remove the tray, I can see that every surface is cracked or fragmented and even the metal floor of the tray is bent and blasted away from the seams.

So much for my perfect ashtray! The windshield was already cracked, but, knowing my luck, If I had installed my new windshield, I too would have been taken out.
