120th Anniversary of the Automobile

[BlaRo]

Nobody's picked up on this yet, I'm surprised!

Today, Jan. 29th, 120 years ago Karl Benz filed for his first patent for his "Tri-Car". 120 years later, we've come a long way. Happy birthday to the car!

I wrote something about it on my website if you're morbidly interested.

And BTW, like your writing style on the website, keep it going.

that was a great read! you even had me laughing sometimes! you should ask for a column in the sun or sth

The GM guys could have screwed it up so easily; remember the hideous 1999 Pontiac GTO Concept? Me neither.
