Snug can be good depending on who you're with ....yes they replaced some critical components but the Gondi is actually past due for its life span. there's one of the new cars at the base new the entrance showing what it will be like. its a bit larger and modern looking. we could use a new one. On the powder day, we had 8 guys in the car, it was "snug"..
Noted the new cars to my my daughter who was somewhat saddened from a nostalgia perspective. She wondered about the special 50yr anniversary cars having a few years back sought out to ride any such embellished gondi car or chair.
Always fun to try and time catching one, let folks pass you, etc at the Basher to ride a gold chair. Other kids doing this too, but what a prize to ride a gold chair!
Gotta snap a pic @Ron, my internet search for the new Gondi image failed!
