Did you see the Mokes? Those are more Grady's thing. You two'd have a lot to talk about because he never gets rid of anything that might be fixed one day.

Here's their old website, with "Who Did Grady Meet?" but if you go to the home page, you can see the overgrown home/pool/lot they bought. Obviously 15 years later they've done a little to make it liveable.

This was my '58 FIAT 1100 Sedan. I actually liked it. Got great mileage and was to slow to get a ticket in. The hamsters were running at full speed up on the freeway. It even had "suicide" doors. Unfortunately the next owner took the engine out of it to replace one in a convertible FIAT of the same vintage that was worth a lot more.
