Afordable vintage

[Spudman]

This takes g.a.s. to a completely new low. Now you too can afford vintage, you just have to search for it...in the dump.

Spud - thanks for that - one of the best things I've seen all year. Good vibe to take into the New Year.

Thank you for posting.

Very cool, yet not too surprising. The inventiveness of the have-not's in Latin America can be astounding and inspirational.
A visit to a muffler shop is an adventure!

Next they'll be building rockets that reach low earth orbit from milk bottles, unused Mentos and flat Coke.

There was just a report out on the levels of people's ratings of 'life quality/satisfaction' around the world, and a number of the small, poor countries in Latin America had some of the highest ratings - you can get a glimpse of why that might be from this video; people seem more connected to each other and their communities and show more of a 'what can I do for my community' attitude rather than the other way around. We can have lots of money and stuff and yet be soul-poor - and soul-sick.

So very true.

I heard that report today too. Thanks NPR. Simple is often better for sure, but I'm enjoying the balancing act between simple and complex.
