Ok , I havent posted in a few months. I cant say I v been busy. I have and I havent. I m trying to close the deal on this move back north and its more unnecessarily complicated than it needs to be, so I ll keep this short.

Here we have a Chrysler Imperial. Actually during this time the Imperial was a stand alone make which was to be ultra-luxury. The official Fat Cat CEO car. Mr. Big Business in the flesh. This plan worked out for a while until Chrysler had problems in the 1970s and it didnt make sense to economically to spend so much on alterior development of a car that share almost every underpinning with cheaper models and that had sold very few models. Mind you this was an incredible car but it usually placed itself above the fold because it cost about 30-40% more than the top of the line Chrysler product. But man, this car could put you on gossimer wings.

Our problem here is this: the current outrageous price of gasoline makes these retro cars unfun. Not sure if unfun is a real word but let assume it is for this exercise. Imagine yourself in this plush beauty plotting with Telly Savalas to take over The Operation from your archnemeses'. Your villian is played in todays episode by James Coburn as Mr. Big and his henchman a young Lee Majors. Now you and Telly(in this episode, your link to a secret government enclave called the Guardian Good Guys) have to go to Mr. Big's outfit to settle the score on the big horse race doping scheme that going down(isnt this 1970s TV at its best). Every one around is dressed to kill in odd colored 3 piece polyester suits. You, yourself, you re in an orange suit, brown loafers and a tan cap. Telly, well you know, he has to look good and he has a better contract than you do, so he s dressed in a dark blue 3 piece and a fedora with a red feather.
