That was the ship in "Jaws", right?

Wow, in 1975 Orca was a boat  now in it's 113th model it is a far out looking sports car. Like a good Swiss watch I never heard of them before.

@jkuvakas  Wow....this Orca should make a big splash; but I think it needs a whale tail.

After making a total of seven cars, the Orca 113 went down into the deep water and never came back up for air. I might mention that they were made in Lichtenstein, which ironically is a landlocked county.

@jkuvakas  Wow, what a story JK; it was a beautiful car, and certainly nautical either, so why it failed is a mystery.  Going deep like that surely left it in a league of its own.  Hard to fathom why they chose Lichenstein.

@jack-dodds, Stop yer blubbering! It's beginning to make me blue. I mean it! You're krilling me. Next thing you know, they'll be plankton me 6 feet underground. So, just shut your blowhole!

I'm going to take a break now and visit with my good friend, Ahab, who has been acting strangely. I hope he's not mad at me. We go way back, spent a lot of time out on the seas together, if you get my drift.

@jkuvakas  You have harpooned me with that killer response chum.  Your comments are flipper than usual and obviously that's no fluke; you're some agitated, which is pod behavior for you.  I am rendered almost speechless.  I'm going to give you calf an hour to rest your melon and let your anger abait.  Meanwhile maybe I'll check out vintage cars for sale in the Buy Dorsal or Pectorals.  I'll saddle up to you later.

When does the calf an hour begin? I may need to make room for them.

@jkuvakas

I thought that Liechtenstein only made false teeth. As the second richest country in the world, maybe there were enough in the 40,000 population to buy 7 of these Orca cars. When I visited it though, I thought it was a rather sleepy place, not designed for a high performance car like this.

@david-green, the company actually made a line of cars, according to Wikipedia.

@jkuvakas  It may already be too late John; what with day light savings and all....they might have steered past you.  I hope it don't make you go nuts.
