I don't know what would've brought you to Aberdeen. I lived in South Dakota for a few years and I never went anywhere near that place.

Not my choice. I got there the same way most kids get places, that's where my dad's job was (mom didn't work back then.)

I did go there voluntarily while driving across the country when moving to Seattle from Endicott, NY. Stopped at all the places I used to live, looked for old houses and schools, and a DQ I used to walk to when I was 9 - 11 (it was still there, so I bought a Dilly bar, which was my favorite back in the day.) Did a lot of National Park, and other, sightseeing along the way.

Also, stayed a night in Rapid City during Sturgis week. Paid $300 for a room worth $100. I think we were the only car in the parking lot.

Oddly enough, my little sister, who was born in Aberdeen, ended up marrying a guy from Aberdeen, who she met in Seattle, where they live now.

Brew on :mug:

I'll do ya' one better! Growing up in the 50s, we had a family friend who owned one (Isetta) and I rode in it on occasion. The tricycle configuration (actually the rear axle was two "dually" wheels) made it questionably stable, and the forward opening door made it a death trap in a collision. Our friend got broadsided at a stoplight and had to be extracted through the roof of the vehicle. It could have gotten really ugly if there had been any post-crash fire.

Where I live they have a "car" called velorex. It too has three wheels. But to make it even worse (better?) the side panels are made of fabric.

There's a joke that says a velorex won't scratch it buffs.

I've never ridden one but apparently they're street legal here because I've seen a number of them still on the road...

After that joke, I just HAD to google it.

Looks like a Spyder (mid-life lawyer 3 wheel motor cycle) wearing a bad raincoat.

My Brother-In-Law was looking to buy a Spyder at one point, and everyone was ribbing him about it. "Dude, you're only in your 20s. Little early to be having a mid-life crisis and start impulse buying crap trying to re-capture your lost youth!" 🤣

There is only one three wheeler I would have when my lottery numbers hitView attachment 739614

Gotta admit, I made fun of this three wheeler when I learned about it, but if we had an extra spot in the garage, extra money, and they had a dealership/maintenance location nearby, I'd be be really tempted

I don't know about the only one since I wouldn't mind having one of these.

But I took these pics outside of a local bar a few years ago.

Done deliberately by the architect if real, note the suitably wide gap at the other end as well. The design and building committee had a sense of humour.

It's real. The Dean was the one with a sense of humor back when an entrance to the building was being turned into a loading dock. " He was on the ball." is the phrase that comes too mind. :p
BTW, it's not a loading dock anymore.

I think there was an episode of Next Gen where the crew de-evolved while JLP and Data were on an away mission and Worf might've been some kind of proto-klingon arachnid-ish thing. Wonder how many eyes he had.

That episode was called 'Genesis' (yeah, my inner sci-fi geek is showing here. lol)
