Let’s talk cars. Cute ones. Like they used to make ’em. BMW Isetta, 1957 It’s said to be the very best microcar of its time.

I often wonder how it’s possible to be both obsessed with things like puppies, french cheese, floral print vintage dresses AND zombies. (Still working on an explanation). So anyway, deep down, we all really want a zombie apocalypse to happen. Just for a day or something. You know, to put our zombie survival skills to…
