Showerthoughts: Car Edition

Everyone thinks the real epiphanies come when you're in the shower, but we're not so sure. Who hasn't been on a long drive and suddenly asked themselves one of life's burning questions? That's right; the car is where it's at when it comes to finding the answers. 

And if you don't believe us, just ask Elon Musk, who had the idea for Tesla while driving. Ok, that might not be true, but you get the point – sitting in traffic gives you plenty of time to think about everything from the absurd to solving life's problems. 

Here are our showerthoughts... car edition 🚗

If a car alarm goes off in the forest and no one's around to hear it, did it go off?

How much? ⛽

Fuel is one of those things you spend a ton of money on, but you usually never see directly. And if you do see it, you're doing something wrong. 

Petrol pumps

What happened to the people who used to come and fill up your car with fuel? ⛽
