Agreed. I like your 2GS btw - there is a guy on my block that still has a 2001 GS430 with 20" wheels on it...head turner! At least we can say that cars have become more fuel efficient and powerful at the same time although I think the GS has sipped about the same amount of gasoline for a few generations now...

Some things don't change so much...your car's still red and you still park in the middle of the street!

I like the concept...11 years from now, I wonder how the picture will look.

technically, that moment in time still exists. Just not in 'your' reality, but a different reality that we as a species cannot, yet, experience. So in theory, time hasn't changed anything, just your 'position in time' has changed
