Out of the Blue

Over the course of time I've seen one eBay auction for a tiger-striped off-road Camaro with monster truck tires and another even cooler one for a stretch limo with tires so huge it could actually drive on the water (or float, or whatever). I've never seen any such oddball projects in person until checking out a local car show yesterday, where we got to see one of the more unusual off-road vehicles yesterday... a Dodge Neon on 39" super swamper tires. I don't think this one could actually float on the water, but it obviously was capable of fording bodies of water that would drown lesser cars. The owner obviously has gotten even more attention than he was originally seeking over this, as he has a sticker on the door that says "I know.... I don't care."

Time does not pass, we pass.
Yes the word for time is a human invention. And if humans never existed, nobody would be their to document the passing of time, but that does not mean it does not exist. If I could snap my fingers and everyone on the world vanishes into thin air, does that mean the world never existed, since nobody is around to document it?
But, going with your theory does give me one of the best quotes of all time.
