Aurora Borealis
or more commonly the northern lights. Seen in northern climates. It is something everyone should see if they can.

There is a part of me that bloomed when I lived in Thailand. I learned that being a minority is hard at best (there were many times when we well in the minority). But I also learned that smiles are the same regardless of where you are. That the only thing that matters is the kindness in your heart!

The Ford Tempo. there is a sad story with this car that I will not share in the just for fun challenge. Instead, let me instead tell the funny story.
You see this car had a manual transmission. I brought this car into my current marriage. Back in that relationship early days.
This is the car my then finance drove to Cincinnati Ohio every week before we moved (she went to Cincinnati during the week for five months before we moved there). She also managed in the course of six months to go through two clutches.
In fact, in the life of this car (it lived with us in Ohio until we traded it for the Subaru shared previously) my wonderful wife chewed through 4 clutches.

I really want to see this wonder of nature. This part of Thailand shown in the video is great. I still drive a car with a manual transmissio
manual cars are fun! Thailand is amazing!
Actually I still prefer driving a manual transmission car but considering the traffic jams and the age of my legs, I think it’s more comfortable driving an automatic transmission now.
Thanks for the beautiful videos there, Doc.
you bet – trying to cheer people up a little!
…and you always succeed in doing it!
i try, I am not sure I am successful all the time.
Both the northern lights and Thailand are on my list of things I want to see. As for cars, I only distinguish them by color.
so what color car catches your eye?
I don’t have a preference, it’s just the main difference I find between them. If I have to pick, maybe red or some interesting and more unusual one.
i have never owned a red car (in the US the police look for red cars!)
That’s interesting. I am careful around of black cars as they are often associated with gang bosses. 😀
in the us they are associated with people you don’t want mad at you (government, gangs and aggressive drivers)!
My car still has a manual transmission. The first video is fantastic. I would love to see that.
i saw it in Alaska maybe 20 years ago. i stood with my mouth open amazed!
Would love to see the Northern Lights. I have driven many manual vehicles, tons of fun.
we have stuck to automatics for many years now. my poor wife struggles with clutches!
Four? I thought I was the only person who could something like that.
no she was quite gifted at getting a clutch!
