I hope I look that good when I'm 76.

Apparently I'm the only one fawning over the Traction Avant grill. Yes, the DS/ID and SM are beautiful, but nothing compares with Bertoni's most timeless and finest. I would love to just have that grill in my house. What a wonderful conversation piece!

@Mad_Science: has anyone ever used a computer system that made the high pitched "didididid" noise when text came out?

@Elhigh: a four-banger isn't a bad idea, so long as it can get up and haul at the outlandish pace Americans demand.

@readplays: Hey, relax comrade. Meet me down at the People's Republik [maps.google.com] and I'll buy you a wodka and explain that my state ain't so bad after all.

@thunder: Vapeur-ware is right, just look at the address from the MFG plate: [maps.google.com]

@PeteJayhawk: I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.

@teargas: I believe the description you're looking for is:

@Paul Y. — Now With More Sodium!: Thirded on a count of being a sucker for chevrons. But I still could not resist the allure of the 403.

@graverobber- Two BEER minimum: I would love to see a stellarator [www.ornl.gov] strapped to the back of a Fusion.

America, Fuck Yeah!

I would create a garage that would be an homage to my two favorite automotive designers, Raymond Loewy and Flaminio Bertoni. That means filling a garage with Studebakers and Citroëns. As for the actual garage, a gutted PRR S1 locomotive would only be right. [en.wikipedia.org]

@PeteJayhawk: And nary a tramp stamp in sight!

@ET had a Cartruckgasm: By the time the LEDs burn out you'll have much more expensive and critical fixes and the LEDs will be $.10 each.

Ooooh, ooooh, I hope I get one of the Malaise Brown ones!

@BigTenObsession: I'm picturing Domenech paraphrasing Rick Pitino in his pregame speech.
