I never cared for the Isetta, which the Microlino seems to be an updated version of.

The only really cool microcar IMO was the FMT Tg500 Tiger:

Is that a Messerschmitt or a remake?

I've about got the Smart dialed-in. I put new speakers in the doors this morning. The first side took 2 hours to figure out and do, the other side only took a half hour.

About the only thing left is figuring out the dash cams for it and the Tacoma. I've got way too much in getting that Mercedes mechanically sound. I know why they sold it now. I think I've got about $5-5.5k in repairs on top of the $3.5k purchase price. I'm afraid to add it up.

It is kind of a cool little car though. I'm the one who was hellbent on a two-door. LOL.

I figured it would be a money pit, but that's not terrible considering what 10K gets you these days.

Eh, what the hell, man? I ain't gonna take it with me. Between me and Rainman and his predilection for talking his step-family into buying turbocharged cars, Chip will be able to open shop 3, and maybe 4.

His step-daughter ran her Hyundai turbo something-or-other low on oil. It took Chip 4 factory turbos before he got one to work. Rainman's rig runs a Cat 3406e (turbo, a real one). Semi tractors and passenger cars are two different animals.

...but that's not terrible considering what 10K gets you these days.

Tomorrow it will be 15K.
