Is this delightfully tacky eye candy no longer
socially acceptable?

Great fryeday question Mike, as the list looks
real quiet today. R&Ring ball joints will get
a guy thinking about such things. (RVC)

Pirelli still seems to think they are acceptable.
Although, the French are way ahead of most neanderthal
countries around issues of human body. Or perhaps
the French choose to ignore the nay-sayers and print
what they enjoy... I dunno....

Thanks Robert for the link and trip down memory
lane. Wow, I miss my miss-spent youth.

The old-school Mechanic I rent shop-space from
still receives the occasional calendar from his
suppliers. The content is more bent on promoting
some product like Optima batteries with a tease of
cheese-cake to help the male ego remember the product.

Ben, the mechanic, still has a calendar from 1979
hanging on the back of his office-door. The pig I
am, I still enjoy a gaze at that calendar.....
Almost every time I close the door behind me.
