Wondering if the employment application asked what car he drove. Or maybe that's how he started his resume. Kind of like AA

"Hi my name is Alan, I drive a Miata."

BTW you spell you name wrong. It's supposed to be Allen.

Welcome to the funny farm. We will be looking forward to your additions to a great magazine.

Welcome aboard. Write more stuff about low budget cars built with dumpster diving and elbow grease. That's the stuff I love.

Sounds like you'll fit right in, assuming you're not a Bob Costas fan. And by Bob Costas, I mean the actual Bob Costas, not the filter substitution.

Welcome aboard.

If I was 40 years younger, my parents would be 9 and 10 years old.

So, the guy's first writing assignment was about his grassroots move in his Miata shaped moving van??

Nice.
