enlarge June 10, 1967 – there goes the neighborhood. Click here to view this media And on June 10, 1967 the hits just kept on comin’. First it was the Soviet Union in a fit of pique, breaking diplomatic relations with Israel, pointing fingers at the U.S. for supplying arms to the Israelis. And then it was Syria, flailing their collective arms over the notion Israel was planning on making Damascus an Israeli settlement, since tanks were barreling in that direction.

But, that’s not all — it’s also a sharp dresser that looks quite fetching in its magnesium and aluminum suit, and just try not to get lost staring into that beautiful IPS screen. We don’t know how much you’ll have to shell out to spend time with this svelte 3.6-pound beauty, but it should be making the retail rounds this September.
