Here’s a good one I discovered when I tried keto awhile back. Breakfast in a Cup.

(Though this wasn’t a date. I was hanging out with my brother and his fiancee at her apartment)

“What can happen to an Old Fashion?”

Still a hatchback as far as I’m concerned. Cars, other than hatchbacks, also had side opening cargo areas. The 1968 Mercury LeGrand Marquis for example. It would still be called a ‘trunk’, wouldn’t it?

Think it’s still for sale? That ad is 7 years old you know.

“What do I tell my boss?”

I’ve always loved those old ephemeral films by Jam Handy and others. Here’s one, done in color 3-D no less, that shows 1939 Chryslers “being made”. Not all that educational, but it’s fun to watch, especially if you have an appreciation of old stop-motion film making.

That’s what I asked myself when I saw this video...

This happened at a VW dealer in Dallas.

The 1966 Batmobile had a trunk, and it was shown on the show. Where else was Batman going to keep his Mobile Crime Computer?

There’s nothing wrong with bedliner on the outside of a vehicle like this. There IS something wrong with dull blue bedliner though. Here’s a brand new (at the time) custom Jeep I parked next to back in 2006 with white bedliner on the outside, and it looks pretty damned good IMHO. Are you listening, David?

It will get there. When I turned over 400K mile, I marked the occasion with a little extra badging.

Those in the picture weren’t the Buick hating apartments. I took that picture a day or two after moving into a rental house that was next door to another apartment complex.

Here, this ought to make everyone happy. Just be sure to buy it and modify it here, then ship it over there.

Actually, my other car was a brand new (1980) Mazda GLC, but I parked that in the general parking area and gave the Buick my paid covered spot. Priorities, right? Here it is at those very same apartments. I often wondered if that ‘59 T-Bird owner got the same notice that I did.

Is that a TDI? I always wanted to do that to mine. I’m also guessing the VW TDI owners skewed the results in Volkswagen’s favor. I bought mine new, owned it 16 years and put 445K miles on it before selling it to a friend. He’s closing in on 500K with it now. TDI owners tend to really hang onto their cars.

I lived in lots of apartments in my younger days, but that place was the trigger for my finding at first a rental house, then buying my own.

It happens all over the Dallas area. Back in 1980, my new wife and I moved into some not-too-fancy-but-livable apartments at Marsh Lane and Spring Valley, and had something similar happen.

Some of these comments are hilarious. I’ve spent all my adult life in the quality control and quality assurance field, the last 21 years of them with a company doing very high precision DOD work (positional tolerances of .0005" or less), and I remember those Lexus ball-bearing commercials. They were the laughing stock…
