Cut the wings off and drive it around the neighborhood.... cuz that’s probably all it’s good for.

I dunno.  This looks like fun and games, but will a brake job break me?  Like a boat or a swimming pool, it’s much better to know someone who owns a plane than to own one yourself.

So I’m gonna need your address.  I’ll pay you a dollar to be your virtual roommate and I will get a NJ license so I can get in on this deal from out of state.

See, it is already wanting of an emblem on the rear gate:

Thank you for adding Reichsburger to my lexicon.  I believe I will start using that to describe, uh, certain people here in the US.

I was born 10 years after you to two parents who smoked like chimneys my whole life.  Dad died from Stage IV lung cancer a couple years ago.  I have my own respiratory issues, despite never being a smoker.  I sure was glad to move out of their house when I went off to college.

One of the worst road-trips of my childhood involved being held captive in the back of a similar generation Dodge Caravan with all windows orange-tinted from years of cigarette smoke, while the driver (one of the Boy Scout Troop dads) lit each Lucky Strike off the previous for two days straight, with the windows up.

I look forward to a future edition where David drives it back to Michigan.  He and Brandon will duct tape plastic 55 gallon drums to the sides and wire some kayak paddles to the front rims to make a run across the pond.
