Ted Kennedy was reported to have said, “4000 cars under water, that’s impressive!”

That chemical poison that just entered the ocean is far worse than an oil spill for the environment. A lot of sea life is going to die. Not to mention contaminated seafood.

It’s things like this that make me just want to check out of the world. All those shiny new cars that will never experience drivers, a nice wax job and vanilla shakes spilled in the back seat.

Back in the day, I bought a new MG from our local dealer.

That MG had to be more trouble than any Lotus....although Lotus had stunning design aesthetes.

I sold it within a year.

It caught fire in the neighborhood of the Azores, around a thousand miles from Portugal.

Final destination was Rhode Island.

Also a couple hundred Bentleys on board.

Cheapest Bentley is almost $200,000.

Custom Bentleys cost up to $2 million.

VW only manufactures 10,000 Bentleys per year.
