worth it to try?

I just saw a minivan with those twirly hubcab things. Aren't those supposed to be for enhancing coolness? Aren't minivans patently uncool?

This, my friend, is what's known as "gentrification."
I think.

Enhancing coolness is actually a secondary feature of the twirly things. Their primary purpose is promoting pirouetting. Yep. Twirling for twirling's sake!

As for the minivan being uncool, that's all perspective. Prepared passengers provide pleasing pilgrimages, so make sure to inform people before taking them in one. :)

Not sure on gentrification. I think I memorized a definition for Geo 160, and this isn't ringing that bell.

Promoting pirouetting, eh? Huh. You're right that coolness can't carelessly be confined to categories. (The Flash is always cool, though, in case you were wondering -- even if the "your passenger isn't wearing a seatbelt!" alarm is ringing and the "maintenance required" light is flashing.)
