From the article:

"Not all Phaetons have the Campy hinges. In the US, they were part of the “Technology package”. Only one of my two Phaetons had ’em; the other had the pressed-steel hinges found on Bentley Continentals and Audi A8s.

There’s never been a set of trunk hinges like the Phaeton’s Campy ones. The Benz S550 hinges, like Lexus LS hinges, are not optimal in my opinion; they’re cheap bent-metal goosenecks in plastic. They take up a ton of room and look lousy.

I have plenty of hinge photos if the jury needs a second set :)"

Ha! I remember when this one was taken.

Proof that Phaetons are Volkswagens. Takes a bit of work, but even that big dog will lift a leg...

Why? It's still true. When you consistently vote for someone who can win instead of someone who should win, you eventually wind up here:

I had a migraine the other day. While ill with... something. Don't know what. Feels like a cold now, but all weekend my left upper jaw hurt tremendously and the left side of my face/mouth was all hangy. The migraine on top was barely noticable. It was like, okay, this sucks massively, now I can't see either, oh well not as if I was doing anything today anyway. (And this is why I had been posting at odd times, sleep schedule was wracked)

I always figured this was proof that early man had migraines too.

The wife gave me an early Christmas gift yesterday, a New York Central Diesel to replace the one that was stolen a few years ago.
