Five generations over 150 years.

And his grandfather came to America, as an immigrant, in 1905 because Bavarian authorities stripped him of his citizenship and ordered him to leave for failing to complete mandatory military service.

With the caveat that, for example, Obama's 'can't do' / 'won't do' attitude emboldened both Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin. And arguably led to Russia's subsequent invasion of Ukraine.

Frog eyed Sprite.

Or, more properly, the Austin Healey Sprite. Brit car produced 1958 - 61.

The bonnets were infamous for rusting away swiftly, so most these days have GRP bonnets.
