In the immortal words of Jim Croce,
Some rapper? I had to look this dude up in the history books.... He had a hit song over 50 years ago, "Bad, bad Leroy Brown." Leave it to Tony to dig up some obscure reference. 🤔 😏 🤔
Jim Croce, you don't know him [he was not a rapper, he was a folk rock artist], he died 50 years ago, you are either a young fellow or a foreigner or had a sheltered life. Yes I liked his music.

Regarding automobile changes, whether it is Mustang electric SUV, Bentley or whatever may be coming up next; the simple fact is that, like it or not, times and generational tastes change in every consumer category. I'm a person who is very resistant to change but I have (very slowly) learned to accept its inevitability and just enjoy the ride so to speak. It's far more enjoyable that way I find. Lol. Having said all of that, I still want a '66 Mustang 2&2 for my weekend driver, a '66 Chevy short box pickup for my chores and a '67 Beetle for my daily driver! Stuck in the past for sure re: automobiles but trying my best to go with the flow. Wish me luck! If only I could "save time in a bottle...."

That's EXACTLY correct. It wasn't too long ago when any of us, walking through a parking lot, could look out at nothing but a "sea of cars." Today, of course, it's an "SUV ocean." Thirty, forty years from now, we'll be looking at ??? Anyone's guess, right?

Altered reality (some would call it delusion) is very underrated as a lifestyle; I think Chris is bang on the money!
