When I was just 7 years old and Robin was a teenager playing Kelly on Santa Barbara, I said right there, "she's gonna make it to the big screen". Then next thing I knew, she was Buttercup in The Princess Bride. Then Jenny in Forrest Gump, and on and on. I feel like she and i, we grew up together.

She looks so happy and full of energy nowadays. Love it! ❤️⭐️ I always thought she looked so tired and sad when she was married to that other guy.

Not correct at all. A guy called Cugnot, a century earlier.

@@FlushGorgon it was the first with ICE, w hat is colloquially defined as car, Cugnot's vehicle had External Combustion Engine (steam powered)

[@FlushGorgon]

@@asicdathens To me, and I'm not alone in this, a steam car is a car.

[@gnufz8623]

@@FlushGorgon The earlier steam cars, especially that of Cugnot, were heavy as a tank and completely impractical. Carl Benz developed the small and light combustion engine and combined it with a carriage, thus laying the foundation of our modern car industry. Combustion engines also being mainly German inventions, as the first patent designed by Jean Lenoir also proved to be too heavy to be practical. Carl Benz was the first to build a (two stroke) gas engine that sold in mentionable numbers, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach provided further significant improvements. Nicolaus August Otto invented the four-stroke principle. Rudolf Diesel, inventor of the same called engine, was also a German.

The inventor of the car was Carl Benz - may be you know the company Mercedes Benz. All the best from Germany!

[@fedup1650]

Wrong, both the car and the internal combustion engine were invented in France, Joseph Cugnot built the first ever mechanically powered vehicle, then the internal combustion engine was invented by Beau de Rochas (who defined the 4 stroke cycle in 1862) and Lenoir (and not the German Otto whose patent was cancelled because it was subsequent to Lenoir's). Lenoir was born in French-speaking Belgium but he was a French citizen when he developed his engine using Beau de Rochas work. Beau de Rochas also invented the concept of jet engine in 1883. In 1900, the largest car manufacturer in the world was French, De Dion-Bouton (they had been producing cars since 1883 and invented the Delco), Louis Renault invented the modern gearbox in 1898. And by the way, the first ever car race was also in France, between Paris and Rouen in 1894. Sorry, Germans having invented the car is simply not true.
