Puttin' on the Ritz

What a crazy, ever changing world! Who could have thought that in 2012 young people in Moscow would put on a "flash mob" happening...dancing to an 83 year old American song...written by a Russian born American/Jew (Irving Berlin)... whose last name is the capital of Germany...

Parking A 1951 Cadilac

Now this would be a handy thing to have. A third wheel was incorporated into some 1951 Cadilacs. This third wheel was stored in the trunk and served to move the vehicle out of tight situations. Unfortunately, the wheel would take up too much space and add too much weight for today's vehicles.
