AMPHICARS ATTACK!!!!!

We bought our last Amphicar 10 years ago for $500. But it wasn’t so James Bond – it was more Barney Fife. Dad bought out the dealership and had 27 of them when I was a kid. I used to drive one illegally (before I had a driver’s license) down to Piggly Wiggly in the late 60′s to buy groceries. You don’t want to draw attention to yourself when you’re driving illegally.
You never know what kind of pandora’s box of true life stories you’ll open up in the WhippleWorld Weblog.
If you’ve got $235,000 burning a hole in your pocket, you might want to pick up one of these nifty amphibeous race cars
I’m going to start collecting these 1950′s Robert Heinlein Sci-Fi books to read with the boys. I’d like to find the old hard covers. If anybody ever runs across any at a used book store let me know. I’m particularly looking for Red Planet right now. 
“In Mexico, Paracho is synonymous with guitar. Three years ago when I was beginning my sojourn into the guitar life of Paracho, I was waiting in the Guadalajara bus station and another traveler struck up a conversation with me. When I mentioned Paracho he said, “Oh yes, Paracho. The best guitars in the world come from there.” I had to bite my tongue not to say, “No, my friend, not the best — the most. The most guitars come from Paracho.” And this is the way it always has been. More guitars than you thought were in the whole world are in, or from, Paracho. But things are changing, subtly. Now there is a handful of guitarreros who are making, yes, some of the best.”
Artists A to Z (page 1) This is an awesome collection of artist, mostly folk music artists, interviews and audio clips. I was looking for examples of insightful interview questions and I just stumbled across this page.
Here’s another page on this site. Don’t go here if you don’t have some time to get caught up.
