Educated and caring are two different things.

In my case, I simply don't give a rat's ass, and will have the car that's actually fun to drive -- and also still happens to manage 30+ mpg combined highway & city.

Then again, if by "sports cars" you mean the return of ill-handling V8 powered land yachts, you may very well be right.

Not in a "i'm just one person" or "no one I want to vote for has a chance of winning" sense, but because of blatant corruption and fraud at the polls in this county.

I've watched it -- "locked" boxes of ballots being opened and poll workers selectively removing ballots, and adding a stack of ballots they've filled out themselves so the number of ballots still matches the number of voters that voted, all while a county deputy charged with escorting the ballots back to be counted stood there and watched. I've complained about it to the state and the feds. No one cares, since I didn't get video of it happening. So I no longer waste my time.

I'll resume voting when I move somewhere else and can pretend that the process isn't hopelessly corrupted.

Call me silly, but I like the look of the old 707, especially wearing a classic airline's livery, and the 727 will always hold a special place in my mind as being the first airplane I ever flew on.

Other than those two, planes quit being pretty when we quit putting big radial engines on them. The Douglas DC-3, the Lockheed Constellation, the Grumman Mallard, and the Boeing 314 were some of the prettiest airliners ever made.
