Yeah, that's where I first got the bug. I eventually went VW because I'd just got out of BMWs and love German cars, but my first taste of FWD was in a SAAB when I worked in that shop I was talking about. Still love the damn things. Might actually bring one home one day.

Actually, it's an ekranoplan, there were a bunch of different types. But this one's the biggest and maddest and topped with nuclear missiles. And you can see this one from space.

Actually, that was OUR name for the aircraft. The Japanese called them "Ohka", which means "cherry blossom"

As Francis Bacon once said "There is no beauty that hath not some strangeness in it's proportions" And he's right, whoever he is. I mean look at Kiera Knightley, she is just an ironing board with a face, and she works...

It's a REALLY beautiful face.

Remember the Titanium car?

I can't imagine any dream or picture of her that could ever be construed as HAWT. That girl's just plain ugly to the 10th degree, but even so she's better looking than Merril Streep.
