I hope they don't sink this one too. These things are way too cool to sit on the bottom of the ocean. Is there any better way to glorify "The American Dream" than the ingenuity that others will use in order get a piece of it?

No, I'm saying -- I'm merely -- I'm saying what I'm saying. I don't know why I'm always having people say, are you trying to say -- you know what you can do if you want to know what I'm saying is listen to what I'm saying. What I'm saying is what I said ...

About 17 years ago I rented a cottage in the Florida keys on a small bay. One day when we woke up about 50 yards from shore there sat a Hugh raft. The raft was made out of scrap wood,oil drums,inter tubes stuff like that. they even had little cots build and a couple old refrigerators filled with ice for food and drink. It didn't have its own power so it had to be tolled. By morning the time we saw the raft there were no people around so I guess they made it. Good for them!!!!!
I agree fenix that old bus is the coolest. Is it an old Dodge?

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY -- At least some of the Cubans in a converted 1949 Mercury taxi intercepted by the United States Coast Guard Wednesday have a chance to stay in the U.S., but a man who tried to save the taxi and put it in a museum has failed.

I wouldn't be surprise if the residents of the Wisconsin Dells end up trying to sue the Cubans for trying to copy their "Wisconsin Duck". I think they have a copyright on that idea.
Next time the Cubans should try importing a "duck" of their own.
And if Libra trys to make a comment to me. She still is on ignore.

Bush was right. The truth did come out and the facts are he misled Congress and the American people about the reasons we should go to war in Iraq.

But logansdad you didn't say I was on ignore you said Linda and I were on ignore then you answered one of her posts. So I imagine that we are not on ignore.
What an ignorant statement. If Libra tries to answer this thread I still have her on ignore.
Now why don't you come back and ask bigpeepa what I said like you did in another thread. Put me on ignore then ask someone to repeat what I said.
In case you didn't know it the Ducks at the Wisconsin Dells were patterned after the WWII amphibians. I doubt if they can be copyrighted since they probably are by the US. I think it should be patented instead of copyright.
Now don't peek logansdad........

That is a really cool vehicle! And it should be in the Smithsonian to show what lengths some will go to to come to our country.
Maybe they couldn't hear them with the windows rolled up...

That was a good one Helen.
I don't think we will have to worry about James Cameron making a movie about the sinking of the taxi.
