Wow... I wish your dad had kept it! That would be a fascinating piece of automotive history if it had survived to today. Did he take any pictures with it by chance?

A ‘65 Thunderbird, eh? I have a ‘66. I bought it as my first car and, despite its occasional age-related problems, I love it. Your father had good taste :)

Well, for one... A few years ago I went with my whole dad’s side of the family to Disneyworld and there’s a German restaurant in Epcot called the Beer Garten. The inside of the restaurant consists of a big perfectly-lit black dome, beautifully-decorated facades, and a few other things that make you feel like you’re…

I’m just glad it doesn’t have a ridiculously huge grille because brand.

Changli Freeman, huh? Well, it’s official, you have to name it Morgan now. That’s the rules.

No, it was just a weird analogy, I swear!

I know, right? I haven’t been able to see them as anything else since I first noticed it...

I always have and always will say that the Toyota Yaris looks like an angry, snarling gopher/chipmunk/hamster/thing.

Whoosh... You have a strange sense of humor, I like that.

You must be thinking of the Isetta. IIRC, only 14 Januses (Janusi?) were imported to the U.S. and and of that only a few of them were sold. If you saw dozens on the road, you must’ve been in the only town where they were sold and everyone who bought one was driving them at the same time, lol.

You bet, Uncle.

When you think about it, a hatchback or liftgate is really just a rear-facing gull wing door... 

And you can always grind some paint off if it needs more rust, don’t you worry.

For you, maybe. But I base my horsepower measurements on Falabella horses, which only grow to be about 16 inches tall.
