After about a year of off and on shopping, I finally found the right new addition to the fleet. 20K on the engine and transmission, and nicely restored with thorough documentation by someone who loved it. It is a 74 in case anyone is curious.

Ha! Cool! And just in time for you to put it away for the winter, right?

BTW Gordon rocks.

Yeah, tell me about it. It is supposed to snow tonight, so I may not even get to drive it in to work on Monday

You need a vanity tag that says Kermit. (ie green with those frog eyed headlights)

Actually, I am putting historical tags on it. I'm not sure you can get vanity historical tags In Maryland, but I'll check into it. I do know that you can get a tag that was current in the year your car was made and use that as your actual license plate, which I think is pretty cool.

I think KARMIT would be pretty clever.

Or how about FROGGER? I loved that game.

Snowing pretty hard right now; I don't think I'll be driving it today. I went out for a late night spin when I got home last night, and came upon a couple large ice patches in the middle of a long uphill stretch of road. That car's behavior in low traction conditions is, as you might imagine, not very confidence inspiring.

SCHWEET!

You air-cooled Porsche fans might want to avoid Jeremy Clarkson's 'Top 100 cars' video. He illustrates his disgust for the cars in a rather graphic way.

I've always dug Porsches, so it made me cringe. Where's a wincing smiley when you need one?

he must not have had the plums to drive one correctly. i know i don't - but i'm still amazed at what they can do with the right driver behind the wheel.

Yeah, I've told people the same thing about the Justy.

You took it out at four o'clock in the morning?!?!
I hope you remembered to remove the cover.
