God rides a Bonnie, a T100 to be precise. She don’t need no “ride modes” – she’s God. On those occasions where she doesn’t ride, taking the saints to choir practice or whatever, she drives a Mach 1. Why? God has good taste. BTW her name is Sally (like the Flying Nun).
I have all this on good authority…

While it might seem a long road from “Duck and Cover” to “Shock and Awe” where have we really gone?

Remember a day before today
A day when you were young
Free to play alone with time
Evening never come
…
Why can’t we play today?
— Richard Wright (RIP)
Collage made using google photos. Not the best UI but it does produce a nice pair. As did Pink Floyd, in 1968…

“Diamonds Are Forever”
April 15, 2024
Some like Chevys, some like Mopar, but for this observer the original Mustang line, in particular the 1971-73 Mach 1, are the greatest cars ever made. This beauty is a 1973 with a 351 Cleveland. The only negative: it has an automatic transmission. But I wouldn’t say no if someone offered me one.
The 1971 Mach 1 used in Diamonds Are Forever had a 429 Cobra Jet (429CJ) powerplant, necessary for the stunts performed in the film.
Diamonds Are Forever: Best Bond? IMHO, yes. Sean Connery in his final appearance as 007. Best car? Absolutely. Best theme song? Shirley Bassey! Enough said.
Official Trailer (Opens with the Mach 1 doing some great stunts):

“You Only Live Twice”
April 14, 2024
You Only Live Twice or so it seems,
One life for yourself and one for your dreams.
You drift through the years and life seems tame,
Till one dream appears and love is its name.
And love is a stranger who’ll beckon you on,
Don’t think of the danger or the stranger is gone.
This dream is for you, so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.

Scheiß Romantik hier herrscht nur profane

Pictured: Steve Kosnik and his big banana. We met a year ago (and change) at the grocery store but Tuesday was our first ride together.
Locale: Conference House Park, Tottenville, NYC
(As geezers we both know that the park has very clean restrooms).
