of course we believe you  :haha:

cool cool i was worried that i'd have to prove it :P which of course i could if i had to and wanted to :D...glad that won't be necessary

I believe you too. By the way what was the name of the bridge you got for sale? :haha:

that would be the "bridge the gap" suspension bridge...sways gently with every soft breeze that whispers by...quite a deal for the price...and i'll throw in the glycerin and mineral hot springs below for free  :cool:

tdawnaz;Thanks for not bruising our delicate male egos.  :lol:

yeh i'm real sensitive to that...try to stroke with a feather soft touch at all times...shhhhh...someone's sleeping  ;)

No resopalrabotnick I don't Roco posted the car I just reconized it as a Messerschmitt because I had looked at some 3-wheelers a while back.I found the term kabinenroller when I was making sure thats what it was & finding the model.

But I will take a guess since Messerschmitt made aircraft I bet it came from that.Either a nickname for the canopy or maybe a tail gunner turret.

I don't have anything bad to say about the old Ramblers.I almost bought one for my first car.I found a 1961 Ford I liked better.

That's not the vehicle I learned to drive in though.I learned to drive in a 1941 Chevrolet pickup of my granddads.

On the Chevette most owners of this car were not as lucky as tdawnaz.Some should have came painted lemon yellow.

I sort of understand though i had a Pinto I really liked & it ran forever.I sold it still running.With a lot of hard miles put on it by me.Last time I saw itwas in a wrecking yard about a year after I sold it.& yes I'm sure it was my old Pinto.It had a custom paint job in it's better days so there was no mistaking it.

My first car was a 1993 Ford Mustang 5.0 that i got from my borther who got it from my dad. I learned to drive on my dads 69 pontac GTO with a 2 speed trans, and a Super Tempest 389 V8 motor. god i loved that car.

OK, I started to post this last night, but for some reason I was having trouble getting into TMN. Another pic of the boat car, probably a dead giveaway. Except the year, which I would personally find hard to figure out myself.

On the Chevette, they were heavy little cars ( I had to push my girlfriends one time by hand) and not bad on gas. A 4X4 pu rearended it to finish it off. (no not mine) Otherwise it was a pretty good little car. I just hate 4 cylinder cars.

By the way it was a production vehicle.
