I think The Independent’s most popular issue is “The Best of Santa Barbara.” Everyone looks forward to it because it’s your one chance to see your name in the paper — that is, if you’re the best at anything. And by anything I do mean anything — there’s over 200 categories! Personally, I couldn’t wait to look up who won Best Quick Oil Change.
Apparently, a few categories were overlooked, so here are the rest of “The Best of Santa Barbara.”
Best Car: That brown Honda that slowed down to let you on the 101 freeway just before you ran out of entrance ramp and crashed into a wall. This is opposed to the Worst Car which is that white Honda on Highway 154 that sped up as soon as it reached a passing lane so that no one could pass it, and then slowed down again to 35 mph as soon as it reached the single lane.
