I want to launch rockets AT Kim!
Have one of those, down the street from me (in Euless)...Somehow, I felt slightly safer after seeing this at the neighborhood garage today….
In the '60's I had a Corvair. When I got it the radio didn't work. Just above the radio in the dash was an ashtray with a sliding cover. It turned out that if you put change on the ashtray cover, and then opened the ashtray, it shoved the coins into the dash, and they then dropped into the radio. Removed radio, shook out the coins, and the radio worked fine.
One of the earliest Logitech that had mostly flat top & sides, so it was easy to sign.A live mouse or a computer mouse?
Removed radio, shook out the coins, and the radio worked fine.
I've often wondered if people sometimes try to slip theses things in, just to see if they'll get past all the checkers.This one is a bit crude, but I can't believe the editors missed it....View attachment 481887
I feel less safe knowing that they need to be here. Of course, if I knew what was happening, and they weren't here, that'd be even worse.Somehow, I felt slightly safer after seeing this at the neighborhood garage today….

That one really took me off guard!!
I remember when this happened, and she actually had a pretty good sense of humor about it.
Sorry, but incorrrect. The issue with early Corvairs was the rear suspension. The rear was a swing axle which didn't compensate for camber change when cornering so it was possible to create enough angle on the rear, outside tire to cause it to deflate under hard cornering. This caused the rim contacting the pavement with predictable result. The issue was corrected in 1965 with a wishbone/compensating type rear suspension. I owned a 1960 monza corvair and although I flogged the **** out of that car, never had an issue with the rear suspension. This was another case of early media hype that killed a good product.The Corvair was well known as a masterpiece of engineering. One needed to keep the front tires over inflated to (hopefully) preclude a front rim digging into the road during braking, and causing the vehicle to roll. I've never been a big fan of Ralph Nader, but he nailed that one.

I remember this one from long ago.....The “disgusting” display was spotted by a shocked customer at supermarket in the town of Fastiv, in the central Ukrainian Kiev Oblast region.What country is the meat man in? It must be one heck of a holiday.
