A Part of America therein

[hirez]

Back in the midwest. Ugly cars abound, but there's a place down the road with about a dozen '68 Chargers (+ a Challenger, Chevelle, GTO & Corvette), half of which have been badly painted orange with numbers on the door. However, it's all cosmetic - none of the panels match and all of them have ratty interiors that smell like my grandfather's old Morris Oxfords.

On the other hand, the local grocery shop keeps marmite, jaffa cakes and lucozade.

Now I'm more at home with myself, I'm more at home in other places too.

Charlie Stross is an absolute bastard genius - I read 'Singularity Sky' on the way over and it seriously rocks. NAN-AE/U trolls get a walk-on: much respect.

I think the more at home I am with myself, the less interest I have in exploring other places as I become too self-involved.

In the interests of having some kind of life, I have been attempting to stop thinking entirely ;)

Thank you so much for making me think of Robin Williams in rainbow braces. Far too early in the morning.

Stop LJ-ing and go tourist!

where are you?

I assume you've already calculated likely shipping costs and maintenance budgets ?

Agreed. Looking forward to his next one.

Oh indeed. I have nowhere to put one, any car that's survived 30+ IL winters is going to be mostly rust holding hands, and about 2k5 shipping. (Maybe less)

'Iron Sunrise'? I cracked yesterday in a B&N and bought the h/b.

Northern IL for a wedding.

You're right. Best go get one from New Mexico. And - err - solve all the other problems by enthusiastic handwaving.

Aha! Good work.
