EcoSport god damn it I hate that name. So lazy.

Oh, that’s easy. It’s the, um, well, damn - I just can’t remember...

That silvery grey thing, I cannot remember what is was called.

If the Catholics & Evangelicals have taught us anything, it’s to keep a close eye on the most pious among us...

They don’t usually do a ton of outside commerce with the “english” folk, but they can and do buy some things, it just kind of depends. Also, not all Amish communities are the same. Since they are all more or less isolated some have more lax rules/guidelines than others.

They are definitely not closed and actually love to do work for us English folk. Most of their commerce is done internally but will buy things and services from outside if needed.

I can’t remember right now.

Oh yeah. Plus, horses are breeding stock (I mean, unless this one was gelded) and there’s animal cruelty to consider.

This is a really good list!

Sure they are. They aren’t actually a totally closed community like folks think; they interact with the outside world.

Hung or hanged?

Another Amish company we dealt with had a Website. They got the Mennonites to do it for them. 

The Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. Absolutely nothing remarkable, 4 wheels and seats with just enough power to get itself around. Not super reliable but not horribly unreliable either. Not stylish but not offensive. Vanilla with a gas pedal. 

I’ve seen Amish buggies with radios.

I used to deal with this Amish guy in Ohio. His Brother in Law had the “Fancy” Horse and Buggy. And I had to ask him what constitutes “Fancy” because Amish buggies are pretty plain. Better wood, better wheels, better horse and a host of other things that were meaningless to me but were important to the Amish in their…
