There was a period in my life when I was crazy about cars. The love stemmed from the years watching my dad work on his.

My father's cars in the garage |
He did everything on them: from washing and polishing, to pumping the tyres with a hand pump and fixing all sorts of things in the engine.
And I was ever present.
Originally my favorite cars were the British MG's convertible. That was long before global warming, when the sun beating down on you was fun!
We even once drove a convertible MG Midget from Toronto, Canada to Panama.
Later my favorite became the MGB convertible as it was bigger.
My love of cars drove me to become a co-founder of the Jamaica Classic Car Club in the 90's. We had a classic car show at the National Arena and my 1966 classic 1800S Volvo (like what Simon Templer drove in the British series "the Saint"), came 2nd in that show.
Then the Japanese started to flood the world with cars that all looked alike. So I became bored. But I still take in classic car shows now and then.
Why am I rambling? I just returned from a classic car show in Tamarac, and it was surely different!

This thing does not appear to have back tyres! |

So they put this sign on the back glass😁.
I understand the back lifts up once you start it. Then you see the back tyres! |

This regular Chev was converted to an EV. See the huge batteries in the engine now. |
