Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for January 27, 2013

That’s as bad as the load of people in the back of a pickup who drowned because they couldn’t get the tail gate to go down after the pickup ran into the lake!

I like Corvairs.

Corvairs were great cars. Nader should be hamstrung along with Gore & Moore for their money making, popularity seeking schemes. I see at least one congressman in this strip.

That is kind of Rufus.

Why does Rufus rhyme with Dufus?

I miss my old WW2 buddy Skeezix.

Rufus works for the government.

i own a ’63 blue Corvair convertible and the NICEST thing about is the wife said she would never ride in it

I drive it every day except in the rain - I never put the top up.—

Tires aren’t too bad. They’re just flat only at the bottom!

But often aren’t in GasAlley..

I miss my ol’ Corvair convert.. started falling apart right off the lot.. What would a young cadet know, anyhow? A toolbox was mighty handy, but not at 22,000 feet..

It has a motor – see panel 2.But Rufus seems to fit the blonde stereotype here

The local locksmith told a story once about getting a call from somebody who was locked out of his car. When he got to the place, a bar parking lot, it turned out to be a bunch of drunk kids and a convertible. He reached in, unlocked the door and said that’ll be $50, his call fee. So stuff like this happens in real life, although usually with drunks.
