Default SEMI OT - Finally found the 'ultimate' pickup of my dreams

My personal thought is, a junkyard guy with time on his hands.
Actually, looks like an excellent airport limo. There's people I know
who would love renting this as a wedding limo - me included. Maybe an
inexpensiv church or activity bus. Or maybe just someone with more
family than money. On reflection, I think I may rather speculate, than
to actually know, why it was made. Another thought, enough seats so
each kid can have their own sead, and won't ght so much - now that one
sounds like a winner.


It reminds me of a day a couple years ago, sitting in a friend's yard
waiting for paint to dry (lacquer, really). He lives next to the route
460 bypass with a three lane turn off. Big ol' limo making the turn.
Or trying to. I doubt this was an airport limo. It looked much more
like the silly transport kids use at proms. It took the guy three
tries, two more tries than your average 18 wheeler, to navigate the
turn onto the entrance. We were laughing so hard we spilled our
coffee.

I recall being able to borrow a NEW car for my senior prom. A Nash
Metropolitan. But, as my old man said, "What's a senior prom."
