Tonight on QFC

According to Webster’s the following is the definition of the word “limited“:

lim·it·ed, lim·it·ing, lim·its
To confine or restrict within a boundary or bounds.
To fix definitely; to specify.

I was sitting at an intersection today and glanced over to see a Chrysler PT Cruiser. This is a definite hit for Chrysler and is clearly designed to bring back the nostalgic days of cruising the beaches of California in your “Woody”…in some cases, depending on the appearance of the beach crowd, it could indicate cruising the beach with a “Woody”. But, hey, different song, different verse; I’m Henry the Eight I am….

The odd part of the PT is that I never have seen them cruising the beaches of Sunny California, as I have on the country roads of the Pacific Northwest. Did all the old surfers move up here? Is the balding guy beside me in traffic in Bellingham, WA really named “Moon Doggy”?

Chrysler has sold a ton of these cars? Wagons? Faux “Woody’s”?
That being said, why do they say “Limited” on them?

Should that not indicate an ending point?

A set number?

There are no more to be had so you are out of luck-type deal? I think not. The term here is the sale of these is limited to the number of people who will buy them.

Years ago, there was a great line where a fake ‘Orson Wells’ declared, “We will sell no wine till you pay for it.” It was a classic take off on the “We will sell no wine before it’s time.”
It was truly an odd advertisement for a company that sold wine with a twist top. Regardless, it would appear this is where the use of the word ‘Limited’ was heading towards.

“This week only, you can buy this Limited Edition…”Miniature of the Mercedes that Princess Di Died In.” …now there is a tongue twister.

Is this different than the number on collectible plates? Is there an end to the numbers and does it say that on YOUR letter of authenticity? Will I be one of few who will have the plate featuring the Lennon Sisters riding around with Lawrence Welk’s “Woody”?

I wonder if it might be wise to offer a “Limited” edition of the Whiner(?) ...perhaps a commemorative, all porcelain plate, to set us apart from other BLOGs?

I might be missing the boat here.
