Logic dictates that if one is to embark upon a road trip that one will have an appropriate vehicle for this undertaking. The gods have blessed Steve and me. We shall be voyaging in a classic Tatra Motokov. I can hear everyone already - what the heck is a Tatra Motokov? The Tatra Motokov is a masterpiece of Soviet engineering. The Tatra Motokov is world-renowned for championing many Siberian road trips. What makes this historical relic ultra-modern is that it runs on biofuel! This Soviet sucker gets 50km per liter of vodka! A photo of our ride's exterior has been provided. What is incredibly remarkable about the Tatra Motokov is the interior. Its external appearance betrays the magnifience and volume that lies within. I have also provided a photo of the Tatra Motokov's interior for your viewing pleasure while you peruse the remarkable detail and craftsmanship that is presented in words too feeble to capture a first-hand experience.

I do not believe that I can express the joy inherent in commanding such a vehicle better than Kenneth Grahame, an acclaimed British author of whom I have never heard until today: "Glorious, stirring sight! The poetry of motion! The real way to travel! The only way to travel! Here today -- in next week tomorrow! Villages skipped, towns and cities jumped -- always somebody else's horizons! O bliss! O poop-poop! O my! O my!"
Yet, as Flava Flav famously declared: "Don't believe the hype!" We shall be touring in a 1996 Toyota Avalon.

Don't you just adore my designs? They are so full of sprightly youthful ideas and je-ne-sais-qoui. Right, Mr. Matluck?
