Well, I don't remember any problem dealing with a drop-down suspension
so maybe I have misidentified it as a 2CV. His car looked like it was
made of sheets of corrugated metal. Somewhat like this little Citroen
truck <http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1312/5163513120_b7356f2e7d_o.jpg>
but I don't remember it as looking like a truck either. It was a long,
long time ago. All I can vouch for is small, pink and corrugated metal
look.

The 2CV was probably much more of an achievement as you could lift its
body but the wheels would stubbornly remain as lead on the ground :-)
Our teachers knew that ...

I remember doing that with my college buddies to the first Honda Civic
any
of us had ever seen. Probably around 1973.

I didn't think it was a 2CV either but then I haven't seen one since the
early 60s. One I remember quite distinctly. It was painted pink and
was
owned by Frank Zappa (the father of the other Frank Zappa you know
about).
That Frank Zappa was my high school physics teacher. On the last day of
school in my senior year we (a bunch of guys) picked up his pink 2CV and
turned it sideways between two other cars in the faculty parking
lot. But
he didn't really deserve that. He was a great guy and a good teacher.

The certified French pedant in me claims this ain't a 2CV. Rather, an

Other than that, I'd like to join my voice to the chorus supporting
Brian.
Thanks for the illustrated updates.
