Nik, that was fun!! Thanks a lot.



You know I remember when the first shipment of those ugly little 360s came into San Francisco, they stored them near Ft Mason, and NOBODY WOULD BUY any,


They looked so ugly that people thought they were a spoof of a Fiat 600, you know the Topolino things. Worse, most of them were chicken fat yellow.

As I recall, ( I could be wrong) the boatload of unsold cars sat there so long they began to rust from the SF bay salt air, and no body knew what to do with them, and people asked should they send them back to Japan, or pitch them all into the San Francisco bay,


And as I recall, I think the actually may have dumped them into the bay 'cause it would have cost too much to ship them back to Japan. LOL




I cannot believe that I once totally laughed at those Subies and that all these years later I not only BOUGHT a new one but that I LIKE it.


About 30 years ago I saw some Toyota or somesuch running around with a personalised license plate that said THEY WON

Now I geddit, what he was saying.
