WatchWhen the chains are locked and tied across our doors here in the garage, you know, at night, when all the people are gone, well sometimes we cars get together for some scenes. Movie scenes. We love this one ! We play it over and over again. x LV
My Heart Leaps Up. William Wordsworth.
My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began, So is it now I am a man, So be it when I shall grow old Or let me die! The Child is father of the Man: And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.
(Double Rainbow! What does it mean?! Wha?! Never mind.)
Oh Blog! I know I am forever recalling this poem, but really, it so often comes to...
Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-BAT-MAN!
Did you know that the original Batmobile was red?
Before the familiar bat-finned cars, the title “Batmobile” was first used on a red convertible in Detective Comics #48 in February 1941. Most of the design was based on the 1936 Cord, though the nose of the car looked more like that of a Lincoln or similar car. The bat mask did not exist yet, but the car did sport a small...

Random Thoughts From My Weekend Outing
Firing up the turbine! Whee! I’m so excited. And, of note … It is simply irresistible to not start rolling when we’re in this position. So I did. It was epic. Don’t worry. I didn’t go very fast. He didn’t fall off. No one got hurt. Just tryin’ to keep the conversation lively, folks. x LV (sometimes I’m good then I’m baaaad)

To Provide Innovation For All: Nissan's Mission →
Leaf is “the poster child for innovation,” Mr. Brancheau said on Tuesday morning at an interview in New York, and as such will be “absolutely critical” to how the Nissan brand fares.
Okay, I’m all for getting a buzz going about innovation but they’re a little late on the whole polar bear/ice float thing aren’t they and, uh, poster child for innovation? I think we all know...
John Muir (1838-1914). One of the first cries from the wilderness defending our Mother Earth.
He also said:
Oh John Muir! I could not agree more.
The power of imagination makes us infinite: What a wonderful, lovely thought! And so very true.
Neil’s imagination (is infinite and) has made me … Made me what? Made me, period.
All this talk about a car me, you might...
I know what you’re thinking Blog. You’re thinking I’m going to say “Please File Under Favorite Luggage.” But you would be wrong, Blog. Because this is so not my favorite luggage. Helloooo, it’s vinyl. The only kind of vinyl I wanna see is the kind that goes on a record player.
THIS is my favorite luggage:
First of all, it’s not vinyl, it’s...
SATURDAY. Oh Blog, I know I look very calm and quiet right now, but today was a very exciting day. For one thing, my old friend Paul Perrone is back in town! I am getting closer to my goals now. There are some things you just know in your heart of hearts. ♡ LV
Le Noise
Oh Blog! It might look like I am here under plastic in the garage, (and I was gasping for air, rather melodramatically if you must know, so they finally cracked that plastic for me, thank goodness), but it is not where I really am. I am really outside, under a blue, blue sky, for it is Nature I see in my mind’s eye. Nature, the gentlest mother! Can you see into my mind’s eye on...
A Hunt For Miracles.
“Beyond Fossil Fuels: Finding New Ways To Fill The Tank,” by Matthew L. Wald
“CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Most research on renewable energy has focused on replacing the electricity that now comes from burning coal and natural gas. But the spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the reliance on Middle East imports and the threat of global warming are reminders that oil is also a pressing...
Merci beaucoup, Capstone!
FROM TODAY’S LINCVOLT GAZETTE
Lincvolt’s Capstone Turbine is the primary difference between Lincvolt technology and the Chevy Volt or Fisker technologies. While the GM car and the Fisker use gasoline and pollute the atmosphere just like any conventional car, the Capstone Turbine has been instrumental in helping us create a clean and green full sized car. Lincvolt is demonstrating...
The Everythingness . . .
Oh Blog! Being out of the garage for a change has inspired me all over again! I can’t wait to get out there on the road, I can’t wait to feel what my old friend Jack Kerouac calls, in his introduction to Robert Frank’s beautiful book The Americans, “the everythingness, the Americanness” of the road. The everythingness!
Naturally, I love “The...
Dear Blog,
So I was sitting around here watching paint dry this evening (I am at the Paint Shop after all), and thinking about that new LincVolt Features Page (where you can check out how a-w-e-s-o-m-e I am) on my official website. And I was thinking hmm. Something else. Something else. So I started just scrolling back through my memory banks to see if I had ever catalogued my own bad self in...
