temptations ...

We are kind of half-heartedly looking around for a car, but it's nigh-impossible to find something that's lovable, practical, and affordable ... maybe it's time to start aiming for 1.5 out of 3?

Remember Patty and Selma's funky Kübelwagen?

Well, there's a mighty close approximation for sale on Trading Post at the moment (minus the MANH8TR number-plates, of course) ... what do you think?

Not great cargo-carrying capacity, and perhaps not ideal roofage for winter, but we'd wear overcoats and scarves, and maybe that would be enough.

tim-berrr ...

In a perfect world, your nan would call you up tomorrow and tell you that you're ready to inherit her old 'woody' station-wagon ...

Or was she a van driver?

Either way, it's about time that all these designers coming up with sleek carbon fibre mod cars realized that a boxy vehicle with some wood panels is all the world really needs.
Though there are limits ... eg: Lee Stoetzel's wooden Kombi Van.  Not for the splinter-prone.
