Your sobriquet … you’re a boxer engine fan



✌🏻

And Sobriquet is beyond me but I'll go by context.

It actually came from Barbara Boxer after she lambasted Condoleezza Rice for the "Osama Bin Laden " memo's....

I like / understand older cars. The bus kinda fell into my belonging at the same ( different year) car show. I did build the engine as I'm able. It is a good one & stays up with most traffic.

However driving my relative to the airport in heavy rain / wind gusts is white knuckle. It's a lightweight breadbox and mostly gets me around town.

Cheers!

Across the back. I would think twice about wearing it. You see it a lot in car culture.

ugly comments about women, about minorities, etc. All of them are being ignored. Why is that?

The Iron Cross preceded Germany itself going back to the Prussians and continues to be used to this day. The nazi version had a swastika in it. The iron cross alone isn't problematic. But the specific one given by the nazis would be problematic to wear around.

Likewise there have obviously been many variations of a skull and crossbones, but the one used by the nazis has some specific details that separate it from other skull and crossbones. That's the one Platner had. Someone having the Jolly Rogers skull and crossbones, not a problem.

Even He-Man wore the Iron Cross.

Same milieu as the Sixties.

3.) It is not quite cricket to imply that an S.S. symbol is as much a "fashion statement" as the Maltese Cross. One would hardly suggest that wearing a US Army helmet is the same as wearing the distinctive curved Nazi helmet. Or that "Arbeit Macht Frei" are "just German words."

4.) One's own innocent thoughts and no-offense-intended deeds ought not be used as proof of what another has in mind.
