Omniscience

"Om-Bomb"

Ferdinand A. Porsche died on Thursday in Salzburg. He was the designer of the legendary Porsche 911. On the same day, in (or above) Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, I saw this early-1980s vintage Dodge Omni moving smartly towards the bridge over the Gowanus. My family owned a first edition of its Plymouth version, the Horizon, and I can safely predict no one will be writing obituaries for its designer. Still, I have to say, it looked damned good. Check out the color. And that chrome!
