#2 was a sofa!

Correct, my little couch potato!

"The Casual Lofa" was built by Edd China and David Davenport. It uses a Mini 1300cc engine to achieve a top speed of 87 mph and is licensed for driving on UK roads. The sofa is steered by a medium sized pizza pan while the brake foot lever is a cola can. The speedometer is affixed to the built in coffee table and a functioning black and white TV comes standard. It is listed by Guinness as the world's fastest furniture.

Rightee Oh, Carey.

Good old "Crapo" started GM with a $2,000 investment and in 12 days had sold stock worth $12,000,000. With the cash he bought Buick and in six weeks also acquired Olds. He then purchased the Oakland Motor Company in Pontiac Michigan and renamed it........can you guess? No, Alexis, not Mazda.
