"Only way I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Rd"

We were trying to get to the zoo, and because of various closed major roads, we ended up on the storied, infamous 8 mile. (I was going to go on a long rant about the poor-planned road construction around Detroit. Don't worry, I'm not. The title of the post, by the way, is an Eminem lyric.)

Just to show how little I know, Billy Dee Williams is apparently still the spokesman for Colt 45. I believe our car conversation went something like this.

Me: (Laughing) Wow! Billy Dee Williams is still hawking Colt 45.
Kate: Who's that?
Me: Lando!
Kate: Who?
Me: Lando Calrissian!
Kate: And that's supposed to mean something why?
Me: You know, from Star Wars?
Kate: ...
Me: The token black guy?
Kate: Ooooh.

And then there was this. You know, for those high performance rear ends.

The rear-end shop is for people who were too busy gawking at Billy Dee and not watching the road! -- Amy
