Alrighty. My brother just dropped off the new to me Caddy. Now we have to wait. Our DMV’s are still closed here in NY. We will have to mail in all the paperwork,and there’s no telling how long that will take. But,at least I can go out to the driveway and sit in it! Just to quell any questions about Caddy making a stick,here’s a couple of crappy cell phone picks.

I parked nose to nose (I got out and checked) with a smart car and it only comes up to the middle of my doors. 😂 Keep in mind this is a small early 90s Civic hatchback that would likewise only come up to the middle of your truck door (edit: that might be a bit of an exaggeration, I got a pair of 2Bs behind the front seats just fine) and not a comparatively large modern Civic.
There's one up near where my parents lived with the tag, "Clwncar"
Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."
The biggest "problem" with the Smarts is that they're not particularly economical. They are particularly small, so I guess if one lives in the city and has a car and parks on the street, that might be an advantage (but, in the US at least, that's a pretty small market).
I remember back in my commuting days seeing them on I-495 tooling along at 70 mph or more. I was terrified on behalf of their drivers -- I wonder how they felt in 'em at speed?
I'm sure they were a lot safer at speed than a motorcycle.
Safety was their only real asset. A Corolla was a much better
car for the mpg and practical minded. There's a junkyard I
drive by sometimes that has a whole section dedicated to these cars.

For just a minute I felt like I was in a 1950s Cadillac land yacht. Until I pulled back out into traffic and was reminded, nope my car is still tiny, just not ultra tiny.

1) That is true (re: safety), now that you mention it (I had conveniently forgotten that!) -- but the wheelbase is so short, and they seem so (comparatively) tall and narrow. I have to imagine (??) they're a bit skittish at speed (or in a crosswind).
2) I am trying to understand why any junkyard could have acquired a whole section's worth" of them

I agree - you’d think the junkyard could keep their “Smart” car inventory in a couple file cabinets...
Seriously though, I would think that most wrecked Smart cars end up in the cemetery, as it is probably impossible to extract the driver from the wreckage. It DOES save money on a coffin though...
Nope! Traffic is someone else's problem. I'm CBP, and I think you are thinking of our CBP Air and Marine guys. I only get to go out with them a couple times a year. They come up from Ft Pierce.
For Wed I think I may go out in my father in laws boat. If not we will just watch from our roof. Traffic is going to be crazy and insane.
Topping out phase 1 of the new parking garage at PDX (Portland's airport) expansion. If you zoom in you can see the iron worker sitting on the beam. Basically they shinny up the column like a monkey up a tree, then I bring in the beam and they bolt up one side. Then walk across it to connect the other side. Pretty sure they aren't afraid of dying from Covid 19.

The interior shell was pretty crushproof.
The rest of the car was poo. So non-running ones
would be the norm.

Does she not know that air will take the path of least resistance and that if you have crocheted holes in the mask, it's basically useless?

In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.

Just give me a couple of ice cold amber beers and put my posterior here!
