I don't buy my cars for other people, I don't care what they think. And while you are at it, don't be bad mouthing Tippolino's and NSU's, they have feelings too!

Hmmm.... I didn't read that far before posting. Mine is another link so am not exactly copying you. Still brings tears to my eyes at the end.

There's no clown car I wouldn't be seen driving in. All the micros are great. There's a huge selection of antique micro cars at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI.

Most cars that I know of can't carry 8 feet of lumber, with all closed and nothing sticking out.

Glad you like 'em! My wife said "Why would anyone want that!? They're EVIL!"

Maybe the nose should be replaced with a nice Whalen shift ****?
