My car has never been in the rain.


A statement that always humors me.

I like the pictures too!
They reminded me of something I heard/saw concerning Vegas...'Vert-aPac', the cars were designed (engine oil and gas) so they could be shipped on railroad cars.... but standing on their nose... honest!

Same pic, not cropped. The vans might be a tip as to model year. I don't know my vans well enough to tell.
