Is it wrong to love a car?

This one was for sale recently - only 17K miles!

Love that patina, right?














See the problem with the fiberglass bonding?

Growing up my brother & I would often pee in the toilet at the same time after a road trip. Dad did not like to stop for a kids bladder. We often got out of the car the second he slowed down enough and RAN to the bathroom to pee.
