What I know about cars you can put in your hat and still have room for your hairpiece, but my blog-buddy “GLS” has put up a couple of posts this week reminiscing about the cars in his life.
Yesterday, he shared the story of a little red car called a “DKW” that only had seven moving parts in its engine: three cylinders and pistons, three connecting rods, and a driveshaft. The engine was a two-stroke type (not unlike what powers your lawn mower), with five speeds. But five was four too many for GLS’s brother, who was given the car as a high school graduation present by their father back in 1961. He drove the little car with his foot on the floor all the time.
Anyway, I’ll let him tell you the story, because it’s a good one.
