Urban Camouflage

Lack of green CMP’s is just a bit of their chameleon ability to hide in urban environments.

Grant,

A slave, of course! Now for my question: did that slave have a Ford built engine?? Hmmmm?

Phil,

Great idea! If they "fade" into the urban environment, maybe Bob and I can store them in the city and the wives would not be the wiser...only one glitch - politically correct, save the environment, thug huggin', do gooder, tree hugging, birkenstock wearing, volvo driving, liberal, free-range kid raising, save the whales types (a huge majority in the Town that Fun Forgot) don't cotton on to rusty trucks too well.

Oh, well. They will have to stay "countryfied"...

Default green things
I remeber the kids getting farily excited once whilst driving the Ford and they almost hit a bird, Max really got over excited when he passed a kid on a push bike as well. Max had the ford up to 60 miles per hour when he threw into angel gear and the speedo boke after 60 miles per hour so he was really flying

If it were French, wouldn't it be "Flench", as in "Flench Flies"?

By reason of curious aspiration, perhaps. Wahay off topic...What response would you get at a Chinese restaurant if you said to the Chinese waiter "The rice is rubbery"?

Too bad she isn't a red-head
