Yep on that. It it just gave them more ammo for they’re paranoid delusions. The people that agree with the article don’t need to be educated, because they already know that stuff. Like when Hillary called Trump supporters “a basket of deplorables”. Bad timing is everything.

WEREMANATEE!!??!!....Awesome!

I’ve got a squishy suspension/rust story. A friend of mine bought a very used, very cheap Volare as a backup car. A few days after he bought it, the rust on the bottom finally did it’s magic, and the shock mounts going into the frame broke off on the back end. When we drove the car, and hit the brakes, the car would…

The previous “PENGUIN JOKE” requires another one (Penguins & Cars).

There’s actually a joke hidden in one of the paragraphs above:

Sergio Franchi!! Yes, the smooth Italian crooner who belted out “Volare”, was on The Johnny Carson Show once, in the late 70's. He was probably at the height (?) Of his fame. Johnny asked him if he had any interesting stories about singing in Las Vegas. He said he was walking through the casino once, somebody spotted…

Just wait.

In 1969, I had a ‘58 Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Wonderful car, except for the little things that would break on it. The trunk latch never worked. You could just lift up the trunk. Couldn’t lock it. Every time I would come across an early model Giulieta, I would walk to the back and lift up the trunk lid. Every single one.

Right! Then the sun starts to melt the adhesive on the duct tape, and every time you grab the handle, you get gooey gunk on your fingers that won’t come off. Then you get the gooey gunk on the steering wheel, and your clothes etc.

How about on my 67 Ford Cortina, back in the early 70s. The plastic glove box latch was half broken, so sometimes it would stay up, and sometimes drop down unexpectedly, spilling the contents on the floor after hitting a bump. Couldn’t get the part, because naturally, it’s imported. Had to use hanger wire to make a…

Don’t forget the light that tells you it’s time to rotate the air in the tires, or adjust the fleckner valve.

Late 60's Corvettes had fiberoptics coming from the tail lights, to the center console, telling you if the bulbs had burnt out. There was a row of tiny, lit up dots, representing each light. No one has done that since.

Just like all Old VW’s. VWs had a factory option, to NOT leak oil, that most people didn’t get. I’m afraid driveways, with permanent, solid black ovals in the middle, are a thing of the past. Where I HAD to park my ‘67 Squareback, on a hilly street, was an oil slick so thick, you’d slip and fall. And that was after…

I had a ‘67 Ford Cortina (a car that mastered self disintergration) with a button on the dash that tested all the idiot and signal lights. I could push it, in synch to the music on radio, to amuse my passengers. Kinda like a dashboard light show; blue, green, red, yellow, flickering to the Stones or Led Zep.

Maybe they should just have lights that shows what’s WORKING. It’d be a lot less lights to deal with.

At $1.6 mil, I’m sure the owner will be able to afford the glue for the parts that fly off at speed. Hey, this is a real car, made by designers, engineers, mechanics, etc. It’s not a kit car, made from feeble fiberglass and plastic, on a VW or Toyota chassis, built in a garage on weekends, by an amateur mechanic.

Back in the early 90's, in the San Fernando valley, I saw Ed Bagely Jr. going into a Home Depot, after parking his 10 speed bicycle. He must have peddled a long way from home. I’m sure he wasn’t buying plywood sheets, but he was practicing what he preached.

Ital Design can do nothing wrong! 99.99% of every design, starting with their (Giugiaro’s) designs for road and concept cars from the late 60's, is so new, fresh, exciting. It takes years for everyone else to catch up to what they’re doing. If it disturbs you now, then the design is doing its job. So many of the great…

Back around 1985, a 914 with a small block v8 was next to me on the road. You couldn’t really tell what was in it from the side, but it made a v8 sound, and some kind of rear axle was visible from behind. Yeah!, it was quick too!

The talking dashboard could actually tell a joke. You would ask,”When is a door not a door?” Then you would open a door,with the ignition on, and the car would say “The door is ajar”. Get it?....A-JAR?!!
