This is my little Mazda MX-5 (known in the USA as a Miata and in Japan as a Eunos). It's getting on a bit, has rust bubbles on the outside and torn seats on the inside, and a couple of the shock absorbers need replacing, but it goes like the clappers and is great fun. If you yearn for a rag top, try one of these before you decide what to buy. Prices have dropped thanks to the greedy bankers (and the recession they caused). |

My favorite care that I ever drove - my Grandpa's 1936 Plymouth Sedan, with suicide doors, horsehair seats, a windshield that opened out from the bottom to let in fresh air, airhorns and the starter pedal next to the gas pedal. He bought new from the factory in early 1936 for $900 and had to wait 6 months to get it. When he died in 1963, it remained the only car he had ever owned or driven. I waited patiently until I was old enough to drive and got to drive it around one memorable summer. Too cool.
Wow. Great story. I imagine $900 was a huge amount of money at the time.
It was pricey, but not as pricey as the car my uncle bought at the same time. His first car at about 24 years old, it was a white 1936 Plymouth convertible with a rumble seat. The cost of it was a huge $1100. He still had that car when he died in 1983, though he didn't drive it anymore. My family didn't seem to get rid of things. A whole family of packrats, I guess. |

How could you not lick... er... like this car? From http://www.makechocolates.com/trivia.html

Yes, it's true! A chocolate car made with 800 kilogram, 1800 pounds, or 28,800 ounces of Belgian chocolate! WOW!!
How much Chocolate? 800 kilogram, 1800 pounds, or 28,800 ounces is equal to: 19,200 bars of Hershey's 1.5 oz. Chocolate Symphony or
9,600 bars of Lindt 3 oz. Chocolate.
The chocolate car is the same size as an actual Opel (European car). A whole new meaning of "Fahrvergn�gen". 5 Chocolatiers were working on this car for 4 weeks, from 7 am until 10 pm. The car is made with milk, dark and white chocolate.
