Psychiatrist: Tell me, Harold, how many of these, eh, *suicides* have you performed?
Harold: An accurate number would be difficult to gauge.
Psychiatrist: Well, just give me a rough estimate.
Harold: A rough estimate? I'd say
[savoring the thought]
Harold: fifteen.
Psychiatrist: Fifteen?
Harold: That's a rough estimate.
Psychiatrist: Were they all done for your mother's benefit?
Harold: No. No, I would not say "benefit."

Oh, my. I just looked it up. I suppose I'd be up for that too, under the right circumstance...

I had a blue Ford Falcon-inspired pedal car in my childhood in the mid-1960s. This google image is how I remember it looking, although I haven't seen it in at least 40 years:

The W114 Benz reminds me of my parents' '73 220D in chocolate brown, with M-B Tex interior in "Bamboo". My folks ordered theirs with the 4-speed manual transmission, and it actually accelerated quite acceptably for a diesel.

That's just a generic photo I lifted from wikipedia; my boyfriend's Spider was more gunmetal grey, red interior, with the factory alloy wheels that weren't anything flashy or futuristic.

I was in a relationship with an older man (he was 45!) in '87 - '88 who drove a silver Fiat Spider like this one:

Wonderful top-down driving thru Malibu Canyon to and from his home in Monte Nido to the Pacific Coast Highway. At the time, I was in my mid-20s, driving a stodgy '80 Olds Cutlass 4dr.

Same here upstate from CptSevere -- 90s in the afternoon, but cools down overnight. Right now at 7am I've got the windows open and it's 50F or so outside. I'll button up the windows in a bit, and depend on the insulation to keep comfy in shorts and (hopefully) not need to fire up the A/C just yet.

Well, the italic script for 'Man' seems ironically girlie, which is fine for a gay guy like me (I'm all about irony), but I'm probably NOT the target demographic. As for the blue oval encircling 'UD', that looks terrific as-is, unless people think it implies a FoMoCo bent (I'm brand-neutral when it comes to domestic light trucks)..
