My first two cars were Plymouths and my brother races a 1973 Plymouth Challenger. I’ve diverged in the ’90s, but after seeing this ad, I have to rethink my next ...

  Say what you will — I do as much as possible — about the State Peace and Development Council, aka Myanmar’s military dictators, but these guys have more chutzpah than the Menendez brothers begging for mercy because they’re orphans.
