  2. Aw, gee, Sid.

    When you said "Frankie" I thought of Frank Sinatra.

    I have no idea what kind of car that is. Want to tell us uninitiated?

    Congrats on superior mileage and condition. May you drive it for many more miles!

  3. OK, it's a Volvo. I should have known that.

    Your blog is set up to only show the most recent post. I had to go back to yesterday's post.

    It's the weekend and we're going to the park!

  4. Nope, not a Volvo. It was Frank who kept guessing that's what I had, so I decided, once again, to show him the error of his ways.

    It's nice. Has a 6-speed stick, too. I hope it runs forever.

  7. well, first of all, you've made a tactical error in letting frankenstein see your car. but on the other hand, it is a very nice car, and shows your good taste. =D

    i am moving to toronto, so i will be getting rid of my car, which is a tad scary. . . i am, nonetheless, excited about it.

  8. Let me guess....an M class BMW 500 - 700 series? Might be a european "gray market"? Either way nice ride.

  9. So, no one can tell that is an Acura? Sure is what it looks like to me. Great cars built by that company :)

  10. Much as I lust after BMWs (actually had one, a 1971 1600, progenitor to the 3 series, which I kept for 20 years and, after fixing it up to near perfection (well, mechanically anyway, and new paint) donated it to the local Little League auction), this is indeed an Acura Legend LS coupe; in my opinion the prettiest car they've made. Still runs great but could use a little minor body work here and there, and, were I vain enough, new paint.

  11. Somewhere, I think in his autobiography, Ben Franklin describes how a certain man harbored a dislike for him, for reasons unknown. Franklin's solution was insightful. He borrowed a book from the man. Thereafter they got on fine.

    Look who's eager to fetch Sid's newspaper and slippers.

    On another note, my heart soared like an eagle upon reading this, and Frank's will too.
