I Like It

This idea is long overdue. Especially in an age when parking spaces keep getting smaller. 

1. I saw that on a “Kustom” car in the 60’s.

2. I wonder why it never took off.

3. I have a suspicion that in the 60’s, the cost of the machanism(s) would have been prohibitively expensive.  Now, I think that more practical issues would control.  Can you imagine this thing working in the snow?

   I applaud thier efforts to make a more “human” car, which is why I now own a Suburban, you can see, and it’s easy to get in and out of. 

   My last car was a Porsche (whale-tail Carrera) and after spending years climbing in and out of the semi-recumbent position, I wanted to sit up straighter and get out of the car without doing yoga.

4. I understand. That’s why I have a 2007 Nissan Quest. It’s great to get in and out and it’s big enough to transport a lot of stuff when I need to.

5. After you get some ‘age’ under your belt, you find that sexy and fast loses it’s appeal and you desire comfort.

   Ahhh, the pleasure of heated seats in the winter. (of course, I had the Porsche when I lived in LA - no snow)

6. I never cared much for low cars. I’m 6’4” so they are a pain to get in and out of for me. I had a Camero when I was in my 20s and I hated how low to the ground it was. Every car was taller so I could never see head of them. I like sitting up high in my mini van.

7. Yeah, I had a 69’ Boss 302 Mustang when I was 20.  Dad got it for me from a towing company and I rebuilt it, turned out it was a “factory” race car so that Ford could claim to be a manufacturer for the CanAm series.  Fast?  From a stopped position at the bottom of an onramp, I could floor it, move up the ramp, across lanes, and into the fast lane, hit 65, and just then, shift into second… Ohhh baby!

   Fords Rule, Chevys drool…
