Friday's The Big Day ... Or Is It?

It would be a head turner to see that small rear hatch powered door glide open, hands free.

I think that once the Elio goes into production , we will see remarkable aftermarket goodies . Especially from those clever Japanese modifiers .

I think just the opposite. As I sit in traffic on my commute, I'm astounded at all the different shapes and designs of tail lights, and think, "man, why would someone go to all the cost of customizing all these when they could just buy something off the shelf that has already been designed?".

My wife has a habit of trying to get in every black car in the parking lot . She says they all look the same .

It's all good. I have a multi ethnic family. and thought it was funny. When I got married (to my now ex-wife, oops) she is African-American. The ushers (our good friends) joked that they we going to ask guests North or South instead of Bride or Groom. I find it's good to have humor in things as long as its not derogatory or demeaning and mean spirited. A lot of that comes in knowing your "audience" though.

My nephew, who is in his early 40s, has said to me on more than one occasion, "It must have been neat when you and dad were kids and had all of those great cars!" That usually comes after talking about his fathers 60 Ford Starliner or his 60 'Vette, or my 57 Healey, or '67 Pontiac Tempest Custom Sprint or 67 Camaro RS. (all bought new except the Longbridge Healey) If you think about cars like that, tell me today's cars don't all look like cookie cutter cars.

Wow. ok, I didn't even see the racial bend there.

yep. Good point. I just commented on my observation about how different all the tail lights look and they all serve the same purpose. It reflects on the American Consumer and how they want everything to look cool much more than cheap and functional. Yet on the other hand, they complain about the cost of things...

lol, maybe just because I'm close to it. I thought you were referring to the post about all black cars looking the same. Kind of an old adage Maybe I'm just cracking myself up. LOL I have a twisted humor sometimes.
