Cobraaaaaa!!

No, I'm not counterbalancing vintage anime with vintage American propagandimation. I'm simply tooting the fact that I also found a website for a company (one of a skadillion) that produces a kit replica of the venerable AC Cobra. A ridiculously cheap one, as these rich men's playthings go: approximately $13,000 for the basic version, $19,000 for the everything-but-the-motor-and-tranny version. It's designed to take the mechanicals of the 1984-93 Mustang, particularly the GT variant. So if I can find a junker donor Mustang for a few hundred, and one of these kit thingies, I could conceivably have a kickass replica of a legendary sports car for slightly more than a loaded Honda Civic...which is really a comment on how far the Civic has come since the tin-can-on-a-roller-skate '70s. Today's cheapo prole car is known as the Hyundai Accent.

Well, Hyundai sounds sort of like Honda, at least. Honda, who once boasted in a TV commercial that the Civic was the lowest priced car in America, makes at least one supercar these days. As far as I know, Hyundai doesn't. However, Hyundai, unlike Honda, does also make computer hardware.

Neither of those jokers makes canned tuna. But Mitsubishi, standing ignored off to the side, does. So there.

Wait. How the hell did I get from a fake AC Cobra to tuna fish? Don't ask me. Maybe it's the dust from cleaning the attic fugging with my brain.
