I had a “ karma gia “, wrecked it driving to Canada. High Speed driving vibrates the fan housing, overheated da motor... cellfish... ??
... sand under my bare feet is better than subway steps with steel toe boots on... cellfish...
.
Learned how to drive a ‘stick shift’ in one of those. Remembering that for reverse you had press it downwards first.
My friend had one, air cooled engine and the heater tubes were rotted out so we froze in the winter. Also remember he didn't need the clutch to switch gears lol.

August 6, 1945

[*]On August 6, 1945, the B-29 Superfortress bomber Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
[*]It was the first atomic-bomb attack in history and destroyed the city. It is thought to have killed 80,000 people immediately, with tens of thousands more dying later of radiation sickness and injuries.
[*]Japan surrendered after a second atomic-bomb attack on the city of Nagasaki three days later, bringing World War II to an end.

Hiroshima had already been woken by several air-raid sirens that morning, which had proved to be false alarms.
So when the Enola Gay approached at 8:15 a.m., many thought it was a reconnaissance plane. By the time the siren sounded, the first atomic bomb to be used in war had already dropped.
In a blinding flash, and with temperatures as hot as the sun, the bomb detonated. It destroyed a 5-mile radius, killing an estimated 80,000 people.
Tens of thousands more later died of radiation sickness and injuries.
