Caraccioli Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Look:Old Bugs I want one! My friend had a '57 when he was in college. It really wasn't all that much different than the modern Beetles. (I think the Beetles built in the early 50s and before had that split rear window that is shown on the logo for the Old Bug site.) If I remember correctly, the reason they stopped building them in the US was due to emissions regulations. They couldn't make that air cooled rear engine fit very well in the wee engine compartment with all the emission crap on it or it was too expensive for the acceptable sticker price of the car or some such. So they started making them in Mexico where no one cared about emissions. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"

blackjohn Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 That is spectacular... reminds me of the atv they had in Lost in Space! Son #1 loves bugs... yes... it is because I made him watch Herbie the Love Bug. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
The Doctor Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 This is just so terribly, terribly wrong... Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I don't think I could either RumbaRue. Geez... That VW up there rocks! I would take that on a cross country road trip if I could. I recall another "bus" of sorts that caught my eye in a movie, though this one is plenty souped up for its role.. A Herkimer Battle Jitney...verrryy interesting. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Caraccioli Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 That reminds me of this: and it sort of reminds me of this (H.R. Giger is so weird): "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Wow...that is amazingly creepy (the bottom pic). Reminds me a little of the Nautilus. The top pic's from Back to the Future 3, right? Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...

Captain Jim Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 The Blast-O-Lene Special. M47 Patton Tank V12 engine (1950-1955) 1800 cu. inches all aluminum - air cooled - overhead cam - Engine alone cost U.S. Govt. $100,000. to produce in 1955. She takes 17 GALLONS OF OIL - 1000 h.p. - 1500 ft. lbs. of torque.Y E S ! ( The engine was designed to run under water ! ) Racing a M1A1 Abrams tank. While the car won, the tank could have taken him out with its cannon. End of race. But then that's Jay Leno at the wheel. Can't do that. And the Indy Special. Same engine. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

PirateSSe Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I laughed at these goofy pets so hard I cried.... Thankfully they aren't mine!
LongTom Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 That reminds me of this...and it sort of reminds me of this (H.R. Giger is so weird): What the hell is that thing? The Chattanooga Chew Chew?
CrazyCholeBlack Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 that is too funny! "If part of the goods be plundered by a pirate the proprietor or shipmaster is not entitled to any contribution."

Red Cat Jenny Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Pics from work today ~ not snow but ice - very slippery, everything gets precarious. To give you an idea of size, the black arrow at the lower left points to a Ford Explorer. This is wot I drives out there. What looks like twin moons are arriving airplanes in the early evening. Yer lookin at just over five and a half million pounds of aircraft and acres of what is only half the ramp for terminal 4. The bay surrounds it, but its frozen and hard to tell from the rest of the ice - beyond the land at the top is the Atlantic. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
