What I'd really like is a redux of the Citroen Mihari, electric.

Want, want, want, for our Kailua-Kona, HI retirement home. Kapalili can have the Outback, I'll take this.

The Chrysler corporate cray-cray doesn't stop here. Have a look at the color chart names from that era.

The Beemer ass hat didn't 'bolt', he casually motored away. He doesn't give a shit about video, got masquerova plates. Prolly KGB.

So just how did a PFC stationed in post-war Germany get his CO's authorization ot have a POV? Oh, never mind.

I wouldn't know. Over the last fifty-five years I've bought over seventy cars, but NEVER a new one.

I vote for bubble machines. Imagine, if you will, fleets of Prii trailing loverly rainbow-hued bubble streams ... wunnerful, wunnerful, also FABulous!

Wait, a 914 is a Beetle-engined Porsche. This car has an engine from a 914, which granted, IS a Porsche, installed in a Beetle. So isn't it really a Beetle-engined Beetle?

Sounds about right to me.. My Dad did nothing career-wise in his life but fly airplanes, and amassed almost 30,000 logged hours. But he had never owned his own airplane. A few years after he retired from the airline business, and was grounded, my wife & I surprised 'Buddy' (his childhood nickname) for Father's day. He…

We've come full circle in tracked warfare ... (Linkee thingie no workee)

I too learned to drive on a ranch in a surplus WWII Jeep, then in a Model A. That's the way it's supposed to be.

A tale from the other end of the age spectrum. Some years, well decades, ago an elderly and quite well-off friend decided, on the spur if the moment, to buy his wife a new Mercedes. He got in his old and well worn pickup and drove from Arnold, CA (Gold Rush country, uphill from Angels Camp) down to Stockton. Everyone…

Misnamed, should be called 'gangreen'. Yeeech, hurts my eyes.

Were you flying the Trimotor that taxied out in front of me while I was on short-short final at OSH about ten years ago? I was flying a 65 ho Aeronca Champ, and had to side-slip between the lights and land parallel to the runway on the grass!

Hair dryer?

If I wasn't in Hawaii I would buy that Jeep right now, even if it is really a civilian in uniform. The irony is that I would want it to drive here in Kona!

Variable speed electric windshield wipers ... if you are old enough to have driven behind vacuum powered wipers (especially accelerating or going uphill) you must agree.

Gotta be in Flori-duh.
