    I always thought that when I die...it would be cool to have a few miles of wagons show up at the wake/funeral! Kind of a dismal subject but ... it sure would be a cool send off!:D

    this is the one and only guarantee we get in this life…………………someday our engine stops!
    Buddy of mine, died much to young a few years back, we laid the coffin in the bed of his chevy pickup while his brother drove and we followed with some 20 us classics as we took him to the cremation center.
    After the ceremony lots of family members from my buddy came over to thank us…..this was the coolest send off, EVER!

    there's a saying ( my last ride will be in the back of a cadillac )

    So 2 tact means the same as "2 cycle." First Wartburg car I've ever seen. Bet Krash will want one,lol!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wartburg_(car)

    Question for the German reps on the forum, the Opel Diplomat.....how did that car do sales and performance wise? I remember it being reviewed very favorably in R&T and similar American magazines back in the day.
