Friends,
The brilliant Hemmings blog has been running a series on the history of the Nissan Skyline, known to most here in the states as the mighty GT-R. While you should check in on all of the posts in the series (Ken and Mary!), today’s installment features this bit that made me laugh out loud…
1981 Nissan Skyline hatchback 2000 Turbo GT-EX RHR30. Eighties turbo hatchbackery–does it get any better? NO IT DOES NOT shut up.
Checking in on bizarre Japanese high performance weirdness seems preferable today to dealing with the phone monopoly at work, the unreasonable demands of my co-workers, and other work things. Basking in the bright-white glare of yesterday’s future, for me anyway, keeps me off the dock in tomorrow’s (justifiable) homicide trial. You can get behind that, can’t you?
Your pal,
– bob
P.S. Not sure what to do about the nattering nabobs of negativism up here who thought my idea to save the Chamber of Commerce’s site was rubbish. Should we go ahead with it anyway? Thoughts?
