This Ukrainian BWM convertible is unlike anything you've ever driven

And you'll probably want to keep it that way...

1. IMHO, UKR could use technicals to great effect in the urban areas.

2. Fastest car ever built....

No sane driver would race the BMW.... you win, you're real fast, in fact the fastest.

3. Along The Scenic Route...

By Harlan Ellison.

Worth a squiz.

5. One of his best straight hard-science fiction stories.

HE really didn't like the term science-fiction; he preferred fantasist instead. But ATSR is a fantastic science fiction story.

11. 11th grade, and my English teacher, Mrs. Meyer

Caught me reading off the beaten path, so to speak. She took the book and read the story for herself during class. I was a bright kid but totally un-connected so I guess she was curious. I could see her getting more and more gripped by the story as she read. The next day she passed out copies for everyone to read. Just one hell of a writer. The class loved the story.

6. Will have to pull Ellison from my bookshelf & have a look-see

10. You're in for a treat! A dark treat, I guess...

Hopefully, Deathbird Stories is on your shelf. The Deathbird is one of my all-time favorites. Some pretty dark stuff in there though.

12. Ellison had a habit of giving some of his most violent stories deceptively peaceful titles.

Along The Scenic Route is one.

A Boy And His Dog is another.

Jeffty Is Five isn't violent, but, if you understand what happens at the end, it's soul-crushing.

I had the rare privilege of meeting Harlan Ellison back in 2006, hearing him speak, and then getting to have dinner with him. One of the Top Five experiences of my life.

13. Read a ton of sci fi as a kid, but in mid to elder years, retained everything Ursula Le Guin...

… and discovered Terry Pratchett about 25 or so years ago.

I have some shelves of sci fi that I was hoping to pass along to my kids then grandkids, but…

All I know is there were things I looked back on and realized were formative to my world-view.

4. The NSV machine gun is the FIRST thing removed from an abandoned....

Russian vehicle. I'm guessing the ammunition is the second thing salvaged.

7. Mad Max ready.

[True Dough]

8. Yeah, sort of reminiscent of Mad Max

[Buns_of_Fire]

9. Can you get it in red? Just curious. nt

14. Send it to the DC Area

That would shake up the FluTruxKlan protesters!
