Is it a good thing it wasn’t an original Mercedes-Benz, the three-wheeled contraption which Mrs. Bertha Benz — wife of manufacturer Karl Benz — drove 100 miles within Germany in 1888?
At a friend’s house. Next door was getting sided. He says come over there with me. Old truck in the driveway, he pops the hood. OMG! It was a 50s truck and you could see the engine and it was unencumbered with 100s of hoses and the like. It looked so small.

Do you think a ’61 Impala is modern equipment?

Makes me feel old. I’m one year older than the car…

Your car is only a few years younger, Baldo!

Wait until he finds out there are antique cars on the road that were built in the 1910s.

I learned how to back a boat trailer in a 57 Chevy. I learned to drive in a 53.

Mine’s a 1957, a Pontiac 4 door hardtop Star Chief. But at our current stage it’s more like an archeological dig than a museum. ;-)

Instead of saying how old it is, he said the year it was built. This comic strip will age well.
