To the kid in this picture: I have no idea if you will ever see this. But if you do, please know:
You are one of us and you are awesome.
“They say that you’re supposed to stand up to bullies, but there’s not much you can do when the whole class is like that.”
“Why do they make fun of you?”
“Let’s see. My weight, obviously. The fact that I read for fun. Mostly sci-fi and fantasy. I watch Nova. I don’t like sports. You know those loud, obnoxious kids you see hanging out in groups, screaming at people? That’s my whole school.”
“So what do they do to you?”
“Just yell at me and throw stuff at me. But I am proud of one thing. Most kids who get picked on completely spaz out at some point, and get violent. That hasn’t happened to me yet.”
Austin America 1300 | 1968
The Austin America: a joint design effort between Pininfarina and Sir Alec Issignios, designer of the Mini. It was built in the UK by the British Motor Corporation and badged as the ‘America’ for export to the USA. The America was imported for 4 years with the aim of stealing some of the VW Beetle’s marketshare, but it quickly gained a reputation for being unreliable. The trouble was that the engine and transmission sat on top of one-another and shared the same oil sump. So when one of the two failed it usually led to the demise of both. This is one of the last few left on the road, defying the odds some 4 decades later.

My Dad had a couple of these. Tranny fell out on the road. BOOM! Cute car, made like garbage.
