The Idiot, who completed his twenty-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea last October, now plans to drive around the same sea in a vintage vehicle.
Here are some of the rides — ranging from a 1927 Roadster to a 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser — that he investigated or tested at the Kool April Nites classic car show in Redding, California last weekend.
Will he opt for a 1969 VW Beetle (his first car), a hot-in-high-school ’57 Chevy, a practical 1955 Bel Air Station wagon, a sexy ’58 Corvette, a car from the movie American Graffiti, a 1929 Model A Ford, a 1932 Ford Roadster, a 1948 (the year of his birth) Morris, a ’57 Nash, a woodie or…?
The Idiot drove a 1961 VW Beetle down the coast of Yugoslavia in 1968. Should he get a 1969 Bug for his upcoming CarTrek around the Mediterranean Sea?
The hot car when The Idiot was in high school was a ’57 Chevy. Will that ride command much respect when he gives it to the valet at the Monte-Carlo Casino?
A ’55 Bel Air two-door station wagon would be good for carrying a surfboard and other gear on The Idiot’s CarTrek around the Mediterranean Sea.
A ’58 Corvette would be fun but perhaps not too practical for a CarTrek around the Mediterranean Sea.
The car used in the movie American Graffiti would be a real head turner on the CarTrek around the Mediterranean Sea.
The Idiot has never owned a woodie. Is the CarTrek around the Mediterranean Sea the right time for his first one?
There’s no question that a 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser would be the most secure vehicle for the CarTrek around the Mediterranean Sea.
A red 1932 Henry Ford Roadster might require too much maintenance on the CarTrek around the Mediterranean Sea.
The Idiot thinks the mellow color combo of this ’57 Nash is just right for the CarTrek around the Mediterranean Sea.
A black 1948 Morris would probably absorb too much heat to be practical for the CarTrek around the Mediterranean Sea. But that was the year The Idiot was born.
This 1927 Roadster has state-of-the-art electronics that might baffle mechanics on the CarTrek around the Mediterranean Sea.
The Idiot, who knows almost nothing about cars, wore a car-branded baseball cap to the classic car show in an effort to establish some street cred.
What will The Idiot buy?
