Hehehe!This probably says a lot more about my mind than anything else, but my first thought was this:

I'm sure it's a hose of the finest quality and of a hefty enough capacity to get the job done!
Also I do very much enjoy your art, @TR273 and haven't said so enough. I had a landlady named Kathleen once who bears certain similarites. Must be that Kathleens have some things in common : )

You know what happens when it gets quiet in here - it's time for F A C T S. I promise this one's short.
Today's episode is another retrospective look based on recent news, putting off other stuff I've been meaning to write for some time now. Today, GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory marches one step closer to it impending closure, sending off the final example of a long-storied nameplate. You'd find it masquerading as almost anything from taxicabs, to police cruisers, to family haulers, to lowriders, to race cars - even being the subject of an engineering beatdown if you recall our lesson Soichiro Honda. In fact, it's almost impossible to imagine a modern American scene without one of these by the curb or in a driveway. And despite being resurrected twice in 1994 and 2000, this time it looks like it's gone for good. Today we say goodbye to a slice of Americana - the Chevrolet Impala.
A 1959 Impala as seen in Baby Driver (2017)
The Impala nameplate has survived ten generations, two cancellations, and two subsequent reboots. But the ones that everyone remembers are the first to third generations. Long, sleek, and elegant, these cars introduced the personal luxury of Cadillacs and Chryslers to the American buying masses. Spurred on by the success of the Bel-Air Impala trim package in 1958, Chevrolet penned a standalone Impala model in just 13 months, becoming its own car in 1959. Like the Bel-Air that preceded it, it would become a styling icon, featuring more radical design elements such as the wraparound windshield, a shortened greenhouse to make the car appear longer, and signature v-tail trunk. Like the Bel-Air before it, it became a hallmark of 1960s design. It was the symbol of American opulence, and a prized piece of automotive history. The fourth generation onwards never quite had that panache that the originals did. But still, it was a car that dotted North America and select export markets, being the fourth best-selling car of all time (behind the VW Beetle, Ford Model T, and Lada Riva). If you grew up in the era, you probably had a story about one.
A 1996 Impala SS - regarded as an excellent 'sleeper' due to its high performance and unassuming looks
The Impala name has been resurrected twice, the first time in 1994 as a performance trim package for the Chevrolet Caprice, and again in 2000 as a midsize front-wheel drive Camry clone. Changing markets and a failure to adapt have killed it off the first and third times, with the oil crisis rendering the first run obsolete, a full lineup redesign killing it a second time, and the SUV boom making the latest iteration unprofitable. While the later iterations will be best remembered as being 'there' (and the 1994-1996 being remembered as one of the best factory sleeper cars of all time), the early generations showcased the best of GM's design. It was America on wheels, and at all once, a styling, cultural, and performance powerhouse. And for that, it deserves some respect.

Gosh the 50s-60s era looks nice. Had a few relatives who worked in the Hamtramack plant...would have been 60s-70s era. Not much family still left down in the Detroit area...like so many things there...they gradually left. Still an amazingly fun and spirited city though.
