Yeah . . . that was hard to watch. But . . . The engine and tranny had been removed as evidenced by the height of the body above the front tires. And it was a raw propane fed fire. But from time to time they showed shots of the paint blistering which backs up something I say to people who scoff at my boringly reliable 32 year old German wagon - "My paint is superior to your steel.". And if the scoffers happen to be in a Jeep, I remind them that the company that built my car now owns the company that built theirs. And as a result of that one fact, America now has a remote chance of building cars that have a possible chance to live as long as my rolling German iron. But they will likely not look as good nor be as reliable at 30 years old. Then I purrrrrrrrr away to the unmistakable melody of a 3 liter 5 cylinder German oil burner. But it was still hard to watch. Bogy. --- On Fri, 3/1/13, Nate <vwnate1@yahoo.com> wrote: |
