And Pat Goss showing us the latest tape head cleaner to use on our Blaupunkt cassette deck.

Did do the math where both John + dad woulda added 700+ lbs of dead weight into that tiny interior — so that fantasy drive would’ve soon become awfully uncomfortable.

and $40,000 sunk with the hole getting deeper. John ain’t living large so time for him to make adult decisions and cut losses.

“If ever there was a time to be worried about the course America is on it is now.”

I’m sure his height was the reason he also never drove it.

IIRC, at least one of the car magazines of the day stated that another reason for removing the roof was that it made it harder to see Sean Connery’s face in some of the scenes.

of all the vechiles i wish would make a comback, the full size blazer is at the top of my list. Sure nobody would drop $50k on a new one today, but my childhood tells me that rural cops use these, the military police, single oil men in cowboy hats and denim jackets and generally any badass, flag waving mofo.
