Buh Bye
It is with a sad heart that I bid a fond farewell to a couple of treasures this week. Yes, it was announced recently that Chrysler will stop making the PT Cruiser this year. See you later, little buddy. I never really got to know you, although I did drive you as a rental for a day. I will treasure those precious hours for eternity. Hopefully, a billionaire industrialist in Mexico will buy your tooling and re-supply the world with your distinguished sheetmetal for years to come. Until then, we will always have eBay.
This week also marks the departure of my beloved DeSalvo track bike to the great bay in the ether. Yes, the same track bike that was displayed at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show in Portland last year. It's a beauty, but then again, it's also a fixie. And franky, I'm just not hip enough to ride a fixed gear. Nor do I have the proper hat, knickers or requisite facial hair. Alas, it was not meant to be.
