Never influenced by government demands and earthly progressive movements.
I suggest you start reading a bit about Porsche and his designs, Ferry and Komenda, and the subsequent evolution of the 911 and P AG's other designs.

you realize that you are allowed to ride your tricycle in those lanes, right?


McLovin is right - it's been a mixed bag, and as Kaisen noted, the time to "evolve" or adjust to new safety & pollution regs. is important.

Well, around here, if we didn't have new bicycle lanes no roads would get new black-top. But the Seattle Mayor (Mike McSchwinn) has a big soft spot for the high-pressure skinny tired commuters.

+1 I love Defenders. My dad had one in the 70's, wish I had it today. Have you seen some of the vehicles from www.eastcoastrover.com
