@BSAKat: You think it's great. It's been a long time since you've seen anything you thought was that great. Its greatness will stick with you for a long, long time and buoy you up in times of trouble and when things are dark. I hope this helps.

GODDAMMITT, I do NOT NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS. Just some more fabulous rolling, powerful beauty I will never have. It's torture!
Oh, and I betcha Junkman has one in his garage or just sold one or is getting one or his best friend has a couple. Hell; these all probably came out of his shed.
The Vetta Ventura aka Apollo GT....of course the cinematically inclined Jalopniks know it as the Thorndyke Special from The Love Bug [img.photobucket.com]"
Oh man, that Murena looks like it's 30 feet long. If anyone made a science fiction/surfer movie around 1970, this is the perfect car for it - can you picture a couple of 9' boards strapped to the roof? I'd love this Murena - I even like the color.
@theeastbaykid: That thing is so freakin' cool. Somehow, being a wagon-- sorry, a "shooting brake"-- makes it less of a phallic symbol, and therefore more socially acceptable than your average 40-foot-long, thousand-horsepower aircraft-engined custom car.
Looking at these cars makes me want to punch out the moon. It makes me want to be absurd, to be vast and violent, raucous and riotous, a flaming sword of indignation coursing through the very veins of society. Of course, at that point, I'd really have no choice but to whisk myself away into some kind of quixotic misadventure and I'm not so sure how pleased my girlfriend would be of picking up the part of Sancho. Moreover, much as I enjoy reading about his trips through Spain, I don't exactly look forward to the headlong crashes into windmills, fights with police officers, and whatever else gets thrown in between the numerous, numerous beatings. So maybe it's good I can't pony up the cash for that Murena, because it would destroy me.
