...so much so that warnings of possible attacks are prominently posted in public areas. A word to the wise should be sufficient to prevent a nasty pecking incident. Be bird aware and don't end up like Suzanne Pleshette!

Not My Father's Oldsmobile

Growing up in San Diego we had boring cars--an old Buick and a later a newer Rambler. But...just a few houses away, our friend Chris...his dad had a '66 Toronado, quite possibly the coolest car around at the time. Ever since then, the "Toro" has topped our list of favorite cars. However, in our auto museum-going career it has been conspicuously absent from the collections. Today we broke our non-Toronado streak at the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum in Lansing MI. The '66 was tough to get good photos of, but they had a slightly less cool 1970 version on display and a factory mock-up model as well. So all in all it was a good day for this Toronado aficionado.
