Stupid? The mosquitoes avoided me for days afterwards, and not one of the MPs on the truck did anyhing to discourage any of us from lingering in the cloud. The truck was a lot more fun than the C-47 aerial spray...

Hey, I heard back in the 50s some of my classmates used to move Volkwagens to unusual parking spots, like on the lawn, or on the sidewalk...never heard of ‘em tipping them or doing damage though.

There is one in the parking lot of our marina. I kept watching it to see who was driving it and wondered how they charged it since there are no plug ins there. One day I watched a short very round woman of about 55 get in it. lol

I think they are the cutest things - they look like roller skates. :-)!

We used to call VW bugs "pregnant roller skates".

“No selling job was required. I WENT there to buy a Smart Car. Lol. Sure did. Had to sign my name in blood too.”


Ok. Well let me ask it this way then....What possibly, was your motivation for buying such a “death-trap”? Just curious.

It also comes with a pre-recorded eulogy that engages upon impact.

I don’t know. I have searched through the photos on google and can’t identify ‘where’ the photo was taken.
