Yea, I know. Hind sight is 20/20. I always bring that up to my dad as a form of child abuse when he tells me that story. I was deprived of possibly owning/riding in a gull wing. If that is not abuse I do not know what is.
Oh I totally agree. My dad also passed on buying one for $6k in the early / mid 60's. It's a wonder that I can function in society at all.
