Fads Come and Go But Class Always Stays the Same
I always loved these cars. I agree with her.
Too bad the new cars are full of technology but have no class.
This lady is 101 years old and still changes the oil and spark plugs on her car.
Something to be said about being able to do this. Today the cars are so high tech, one needs a computer to figure them out. What happens if you break down in the middle of no where.
No way to get the thing running again.
She keeps her beauty very clean as can be seen by the towel she steps on to get inside.
In Tsawwassen on Sundays, some people bring their cars to the grocery store parking lot.
People have a chance to buy a car, RV, or boat from the owner, at a cheaper price.
Others bring in their classics to show off and for others to admire.
Sometimes even they are put up for sale.
The problem with old cars is the gas.
The engines use leaded gas.
I am not sure if unleaded works for them.
But nothing beats an old , well maintained car like this one, with white rimmed tires and chrome.
Now that's Class!!

Brothers Karamazov

This is one of my most favorite of all movies.
Grushenka, played by Maria Schell , was in love with a Polish Officer and Dimitrii, played by Yul Brenner, was in love with Grushenka.
When the Polish Officer called upon Grushenka to meet him at a tavern she ran to him.
Dimitrii went insane trying to find her. When he finally did Grushenka asked him if she should forgive the polish Officer for treating her so shabbily. Dimitrii said: You already did by showing up.
Actions spoke louder than words.
This is an amazing movie and I hope Turner Classics plays it again. I taped it to watch again.
This where Dimitrii really falls in love.
This movie comes with snow , Ice Skating on a lake, Russian Troika Horses, a Dancing Bear, Gypsies, music, tea from samovars, and the hot smells of good BBQ'd meat on skewers.
Life is seen in a village With Shatner playing as a Monk.
It is filled with love, hate, suffering, murder, and a never ending
question of whether or not God exists.
The old Saintly Monk Father Zasima, who refused to settle the Karamazov dispute over money, bowed down to the floor and Kissed Dimitrii's hand to his Father's horror.
Every actor played his part with heart . I saw other actors playing this Karamazov story, but none surpasses this one with Yul Brenner and Maria Schell.
Hope you get to see it one day.
