Can Truth Be Funnier Than Fiction?

Can truth be funnier than fiction. Yes it can according to the author of 'The Karmic Car Cycles', when it becomes mixed up with a Karmic Car cycle. The details are in a newly published book titled 'The Karmic Car Cycles'. Blogger Simon Barrett has recently posted a review of the book on website http://www.bloggernews.net/122160 on September 8th, 2009. If the review by Barrett is any indication, the book is destined to become a hot topic of conversation around water coolers and bar stools everywhere.

The book is a hilarious romp of automobile stories and humorous car related misadventures by the author/protagonist.

As Barrett writes, "I think that the author may well be a long lost relative of mine, we seem to have had the same bad luck with the same cars. The Karmic Car Cycles is a delightful look at the author's misadventures over the years with various automobiles.

As a fundamental law of physics states, 'for every action there is an equal reaction. He actually takes this law in a slightly different direction. He maintains that there is a karma associated with driving a vehicle, for every transgression that you get away with, speeding, running a red light, etc, the car gods are keeping tally, and at some point will seek retribution. It may come in the form of an accident or unwarranted brush with the law, but you can guarantee that it will happen. He refers to these events as innies and outies, an innie is essentially what you get away with, and an outie is the retribution from the car gods.

If you think about it, it all makes perfect sense. I for one look back on my illustrious driving career and sure enough, for all the stuff I got away with, there is an equal amount of stuff that happened to me that was not my fault, but I ended up paying the price, but it all evens out in the end. I can recall two events back in 1981 that are perfect examples. I owned a 1979 Ford Thunderbird, the last of the really colossally big and impractical T-birds. It was 5 days before Christmas and I found a nice piece of ice in a parking lot that resulted in me demolishing the passenger side headlight and doing lord knows how many dollars of damage.

It was my fault, and I decided to wait until after Christmas to get it fixed, in author speak a huge innie! On Christmas Eve while wrapping presents I heard a loud crash outside my front door. Low and Behold an enormous pickup truck had found a patch of ice and was now mating with the front end of the T-bird!

At first I thought it was another innie, but no! This was a massive outie. Because my car was stationary and parked, the fault was entirely the other drivers, and his insurance had to cover the entire repair bill! But the message had been noted, I had been inconvenienced for a considerable period of time during the process.

Essentially The Karmic Car Cycles is a series of very funny vignettes. I lost count of the number of cars that Cliff has managed to demolish in his career and each story is truly unique and mind bending. He has also had a number of close encounters with law enforcement, some he has won by sheer luck, and others that he has lost for no good reason other than the intervention of the car gods. How you can possibly go to court and plead not guilty to a very minor traffic infraction and end up with a 10 day all expenses paid vacation at the local jail is baffling, but the author managed to achieve this feat.

The Karmic Car Cycles is a delightful read, and the format, having short two or three page vignettes makes it perfect for the reader who is looking for a few minutes of entertainment.

The author does not limit his stories to just cars, he also explores some of his relationships with dogs and other animals, including the human kind!
