    I never had one of those but I did have my Dad's lap. I couldn't reach the pedals but I sure could steer.

    If it were fire ants attaching themselves to your wheel and making the ride from someplace South, like beautiful downtown Cleveland, TN all the way to Central Illinois and digging themselves a new home, I would say it would be worthwhile to use a Non-DOT approved insecticide.

    And there's also a jigger of the old sod in that thermos of Coffee, or maybe Kahlua. She's a good gal, can just tell.

    Dad worked as a Toyota Service Manager for a while in the 70's. Used to bring home a different car each week. Can still remember the Toyota Crown with the factory inbuilt fridge. Thought it was the classiest thing in the world.

    Cheers,

  23. there are cooled boxes in some modern cars iirc. so they did eventually take off. just after the hamb allows
     
  24. Thanks Cat, I hadn't seen one. But that's a cool option. How about a Nuclear powered car? upload_2021-10-27_12-38-45.jpeg [​IMG]

    I think that company is still in business, judging by the quality of drivers currently on the road.;)
