Shhh....the cars are asleep



Sometimes we wonder what the cars are up to when we turn out the lights and leave the shop for the night. Sitting there in twilight, it looks as though they could converse among themselves. Then you think about their nationalities and wonder "Do they get along?". Do the German 'Benz's talk among each other?....do they whisper things about the Italian Ferrari sitting next to them? Does the Ferrari care? Does the English MG give a shout out to his brother Brit, the HRG, in the next room? What do they think of the big American '46 Chevy across the aisle? Do the Gullwings flap at night? Do the cars appreciate the new lease on life their owners are giving them with this restoration? Do the cars reflect the personality of the people that built them?...in which case they all have serious issues. Or perhaps they take on the characteristics of their owners. In the cartoon world this stuff happens all the time....Just what does happen when the dust settles and the lights go out? Things that make you go "Hmmmm?"
