    Hemp smuggling relatives AND ice racing. Murilee is your family adopting any time soon?

    Definitely Beetles a TR3 and Corvair impossible or not.

    Why does this footage remind me of the opening dream sequence in Fail Safe?

    So basically the only rule was to drive a car with the drive wheels at the same end as the drivetrain.

    I'm trying to come up with some automotive reason to add the 1959 New Year's Eve party that was on one of the old 8mm reels; it's the chain-smokingest, schnapps-drinkingest, stamped-tin-noisemaker-est Minnesota party ever captured on film.

    @Murilee Martin: If anyone can come up with a way to relate that to cars to can Murilee.


    Now I'm going to fill my comment with a ton of commas and watch Gawker choke on them!

    I think you need to get these "digitally enhanced"...Couldn't have been a Corvair in '60...I thought those didn't come out until '63 or so. I grew up in Mn, watched ice racing on Lake Minnetonka as a kid. And folks wonder what they do "up north" when it's so cold. You could do this, or grab the phone book and the obit section from the local paper...go ice fishing, and during the lulls cross out the names in the phone book of those that had passed on. Both were equally as exciting!

    Whoa. Flashback to "watching porn" on scrambled CTV channels. And by "watching porn", I mean watching The Masters, for all I know. Boobs everywhere, though. I'm sure of it.
