Betrone states: "This small spider with its rear-mounted engine stands out for its smooth, essential lines and some really great details, like the headlamps tilted to follow the lines of the wings, and the dihedral side panels inspired by the Corvair Testudo, designed by Bertone in 1963." The individual designer was Giorgetto Giugiaro as described at ItalDesign Heritage who in addition to dozens of car models designed the Nikon F3, F4, F5, F6 and D30 camera bodies and a prototype next generation Apple Macintosh computer according to the Wikipedia article on his life.

And on a Camry forum somewhere, someone posted this:

Quote:
There's this impoverished family down the street from me. Their front yard is littered with trash, broken-down jet-skis and rusted-out, non-running junkers. I used to know John about 15 years or so ago, but haven't talked to him since he fell on hard times. I felt so bad for them, not being able to afford a running car or feed their kids. I was going to donate my '96 LE for the tax writeoff, but instead I stopped and gave him the car, with a couple bags of groceries in the trunk, and wished him the best of luck.

Funny! someone gave me the seadoo also.. 2 of them but I'm bringing them back. don't have time for them with all the junk cars I have to work on. some of us like old junky 20's-60's cars, some of us like old junky VW's. 2 of those are unfinished rat rods. they are supposed to be rusty/junky. there's 2 not there there during the day, 2 more in the shed, 4-5 in back and 5-6 more at home. maybe more.. I'd have to count them. couple junky VW's also..not quite impoverished just yet. when and if I ever get to that point, I'll just sell a few. actually.. you're half right.. she was going to donate for tax write off but gave it to me instead. now my daughter can give me back the vette I let her use and save some on gas expense. I really don't care what people think about me or my junk.. if I did.. I wouldn't be me. I'd be like all you guys

Bob Snodgrass from Brumos Porsche had a list of people who needed but couldn't afford a car, and when they got trade in at one of their dealerships (remember, it is more than just Porsche under the brand) he would have someone drop off the car, and paperwork to one of those needy families, no fan-fair, they didn't (and most likely still don't know) who the benefactor was or how he came up with the list of people. That is a part of the Brumos legacy that Bob brought that I like to think about..
