Is OK, nadda problema (awful East Los Angeles Spanglish).
You want to see some scary driving then come here and try an LA area Freeway(Expressway to the rest of the world.) During morning or afternoon "rush hour". Esp when it is just a little bit before the traffic really gets bad and everyone out there is trying to get where they are going before the traffic shuts down to "stop and go" conditions. Now that is scary!!!! I often wished I had some vehicle like an armored scout car or even a light tank. Well maybe a helicopter but then I would have been in the air with a bunch of traffic reporters in helicopters and light planes whose pilots used to fly combat and when they got bored would sometimes forget they weren't still in combat. Have a major incident and every flying traffic spotter/reporter for 50 miles (LA has a lot of TV and Radio stations with flying reporters + the various Police Departments, County Sheriff and State Highway Patrol air units) would flock to the scene. The air space gets to look like one of those old WW I or WW II aerial combat movies. One city I lived in used an Ultra Light Aircraft instead of a helicopter and when it was down for repairs the pilot used his own personal Ultra Light - painted in the colors of the "Red Baron" Manfred von Richthofen. If that one showed up over the Freeway or city street it was rather eye catching in bright red with black "Iron Crosses" and flown by a pilot who had a reputation as being just a touch crazy.

i'm not proud of.

The Duesenberg reminded me of my Dad. He totalled one on Chicago's Lake Shore Drive. It wasn't his; the owner wan't too happy.

If you could have any one car old or new, what would it be?

Attach a picture of your choice if you like.

I know I would have trouble selecting just 1 above another;
but sometimes tough decisions just have to be made.


A Ferrari 250 GTO; the most beautiful car ever made. Also a 1967 Gurney F1 Eagle; the most beautiful F1 car ever. Then to round out the collection, a type 35 Bugatti.
