Yesterday, I read about that Urbee printed car, 8 horsepower 1 cylinder

Scott Air Force Base,Illinois in 1963 I bought a 1957 BMW Isetta car
from an Air Force Officer.The car had a 1 cylinder air cooled engine,
about 7 or 8 horsepower, top speed about 45 miles per hour.

When I go shopping nowadays I stay on the slowpoke back roads, driving
35 or 40 or 45 miles per hour is more than fast enough for me.I am
always ahead of the people behind me.

Age has taught me a new and great respect for speed ... I now find the
speed limits on roads to be highly acceptable ... I know what you mean.

I still can close my eyes and feel like I am 21, but the mirror and my
age are strong reminders that this is incorrect ... I have watched
others with no seeming knowledge of how age is affecting them make
stupid and insane over estimates of their abilities ... I hope I can do
better ... but hey, it ain't a perfect world ...
