RK has some nice cars, but they also have their share of "drivers" that are not like the Willy's pictured above.

It does provide some inspiration for Donn.........are you out there??????/////

Beautiful car to be sure but I think I would like it more without the side graphics. To me they just don't fit the shape of the car. Maybe it's just me.

Interesting part of the video - there's been a lot of debate about the pronunciation of "Willys," and I see the video narrator (who should know what he's talking about) goes with "Will-eez," while I grew up hearing it "Willis."

A check with Wikipedia reveals: "Willys (correctly pronounced "Will-is", but almost universally as "Will-eez")..." I guess tradition determines correct usage.

Tradition is wrong in this case. The man's name is pronounced "willis." As in "Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?"
