A little this and that....

A little of this is a very good thing, and remember, "With a name like Smucker's it has to be good!" - and it is. Very. It's also a very bright idea.

And a little of 'that' would be a piece in The Globe and Mail's automotive section today, by a couple of their self-appointed experts, giving us their flip one-liners on their choices of the top 50 vehicles for 2012.  I'm underwhelmed, Folks. Why? Because I can remember when every brand of automobile had its own distinctive and original styling which was instantly recognizable out on the open road from a distance of almost a mile away, and as a kid, I won bets proving that. After more than half a century of added learning and vast technological improvements, we now have a whole industry producing vehicles which all look like they were designed by the same couple of six-year-olds trying to copy their favorite toy cars from their Hot Wheels game. And that's just plain unforgivable. There's hardly an ounce of originality in any of it, and yet they want ten times as much for today's scrap iron as they did for the really original-looking stuff such as that beautiful 1957 Chevy we all lusted after back when. Shame on them all !! And that's my rant for today..... how do you like it so far?
