It has a nice self-referential tail-swallowing quality to it.
The police towed it? They didn't just pick it up and throw it in the trunk?

I believe I see a wheelie bar attached to that bar stool. With a top speed of 60 kph, I bet it could wheelie over.

Not directly relevant to the thread, but came to mind as I was reading it:
As I understand it, leather profits are important for the beef industry. In a sense, it subsidizes the cost of the meat itself, and is not merely a "byproduct". If leather were not sold, steak and hamburger prices would rise significantly, demand would drop, and fewer cows would be raised.
Make of it what you will.

To me it's the same point expressed from an opposing perspective, IOW contrarianism. I like it.

I liked the bamboo contraption posted in response to my earlier statement. That, however, appears to be a bike. It is much more easily defended as a bike than any car.
That it looks so good is just butter in the spinach.

Fake leather doesn't replace the real stuff everywhere.
Faux Leather Boots?

How come they could build all that stuff on Gilligian's island but they couldn't fix a 2' hole in a boat?
