Hi Tom & All :o),
My mileage :o) :
I think that brown interior might just look pretty good with that new
Brown tinted Orangey Paint showing up on some of the newer,
Albeit odd sort of cars lately! ( those squarish looking buggers ;o)

Painted pop top supports?
Well, yea, thinking about it, they just might look pretty dern good
with a good quality chrome on them !! :o)

BUT, Short (Story) Long ( &&& I'm stickin' with it... )

THE' WORST AFTER MARKET CHANGE
HAS GOT TO BE THOSE WEIRD LOOKING
SHORTENED BUSSES !!!! WT(H) !!!???!!!   :O)

Happy Friday Every Every Everybody !!!

JC...

Among the stars you and I
We learn to live the Dream
Suspended here in time and space
Projections on a screen

We move through love to reach the light
That shines within us all
The knowledge of the Universe
Live love instead of war

True freedom's spread around us
It's right here, right now, today
Humanity's forgotten how
To step back in the way

The way is dark and narrow
It climbs and then unfurls
Inner-space is where we find
Ourselves within all worlds
