Not a sedan but cheap

I’m sitting in my car in a busy parking lot and a lady pulls up beside me. She turns to the back seat and tells her young son to get out. He swings open the door, hits my (old accent) car.

Is the spectator parking lot full of Opel Manta’s ?

In the 89 Tour de France just before the famous final time trial stage, Greg Lemond’s aero bars were slipping. His mechanic quickly fashioned some shims from a coke can. You see some of the red painted aluminum peeking out by the clamps.

My driver side wiper blade broke off in the parking lot just after a day of skiing at Kirkwood. A 2.5 hour drive home, in a soggy snow/rainstorm. I managed to tie it back on with some shoelaces. Despite near constant use it stayed tight until about 20mins from home and I had to retie it.

So sitting around waiting 15mins for charging for them is no big deal. Maybe I should take the moron thing back since at least they are doing…

This will be good for transit buses so they can be plugged in at the transit junction or wherever the bus is stopped for a while.

The european economies were shattered after the war and owning a car was a big deal for anyone until the early ‘60s.  People wanted something cheap and an expensive redesign was out of the question.
