Why marry bulls when you can get their milk for free ?

Are you aware that the word for āmilkā in Spanish is a slang like ājizzā in English?
Thus āmilking bullsā has a peculiar double entendre in Spanishā¦?

Are you aware that bulls donāt produce milk, but do produce another white substance, and thus the expression āmilking a bullā probably will be more or less universal?

EDIT: But you gotta admit it is a classy car, Zaera.

This is a classic. The only crying one should be doing is knowing this was the last of the great Mustangs. Every model after this was just a pale reflection of what a Mustang should look like.

Too big for me , mine was a small and sporty.
But, not really into cars.
Wouldnāt have gotten a car though if hadnāt been given one as just sat the test for fun, not to actually drive a car afterwards as had a chauffer.

Thatās mine. Or as close to mine as I found on a quick search. Iām not into Mustangs myself, but they were decent cars. Much more decent than anything that has been released in the 21st century.

Iām not a car person reallyā¦ I like riding better than driving, even now that Iāve got much better eyesight than ever before, the whole idea of needing to pay attention to what others do doesnāt appeals meā¦ but if ever thereās a way to rent a self driving car for a dayās ride, Iāll be a customer of that service if I can afford it. Specially if you can just input coordinates, thereās a place Iād like to go again but it has no address.
āTake me to xx.nnnnnn, yy.nnnnnn and find a spot to park out of the way and move back to the road when Iām done and drive me back homeā
Thereās hopingā¦

The Mustang was never a large car. The fast back as the one the picture with the stock engine was not all that powerful. It was supposed to look sporty, but not meant to race.
The standard that I drove was a four on the floor. Which was the upgrade to the transmission. Along with the engine to give it some speed. The one I had the opportunity to drive back in the mid or late 1980ās. Where it really told the story was in the shifting. I could shift so damned easily that I almost forgot I was shifting at all.
Though I only got to drive it once. From San Luis Obispo, California to a car show in Fresno, California. It remains one of my fondest memories of driving a sweet looking car. Yeah it was candy apple red with slightly better tires than one in this picture.
I am not that much into cars myself. I was a lot more interested in a new telescope or getting the latest science magazine. But when it comes to a car built before 1970 and more really before the oil embargo in 1973.
Ahh you youngsters have no idea of what it was like to pile into a friends '65 Thunderbird. Just to go on a road trip. Driving a work of art. If I regret anything about the '70ās it was the cars were already becoming less works of art and more utilitarian. I truly think we all lost something when car manufactures decided to concentrate solely on gas mileage. Forgetting that driving should be an experience. That vehicle in the driveway is one you want to drive.

Whenever youāre on the road, youāre trusting that nobody is gonna stupid and turn you into a grinded meat sandwich packed in the remnants of your beautyā¦
ā¦which certainly wasnāt built at a time when American automakers paid much attention to crumple zones, safety cells or energy dissipation.

Photograph: unidentified photograph of a crash between a train and a 1960s era car. There are no signs of victims so probably the driver and passengers if there were any made the right choice and GTFO before the train hit.
Photographs like this are a stark reminder that cars are boxes meant to not break under their own stress (going at certain velocity) but in no way are meant to donāt break apart when hit. Modern cars deliberatly break and bend and twist and crush to limit the amount of energy involved in shaking your body, head and limbs, and make an effort to limit stuff getting into the passenger space (but only to a point where itās not too heavy or costly).

Hey, I read medical textbooks in my spare time, including one ca 3000-page Rosenās Emergency Medicine ā Concepts and Clinical Practice. Iāve seen all those pictures. You think software is going to eliminate crashes? No it wonāt. And at least when thereās a person at the wheel I am at the wheel, I can do something about it. Getting into a car with no driver is like throwing dice on whether you will crash or not. No thanks.
I donāt understand this blind trust of technology over people. I also donāt want to live a life where everything is done by a computer for me. I can drive my own car.
