Holy crap! That LEGO guy is quick!

The blue & white 1972 Chevy pickup and the 1978 Dodge "Little Red Express", both in the third group, are very nice! The 1972 Chevy, IMHO, was the best looking they ever made.

I would never use it if we did have it. It would not be practical for me. My chosen destinations are too specific to not have a car to get me there. Besides, I enjoy the sightseeing while I travel.
