And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A friend had an on VW bug. Both the clutch and throttle cables broke. We rigged a pair of channel locks to the throttle and and toe-wrapped a stick to the clutch cable. There were no hydraulic brakes so we were already using the e-brake for stopping. So I'd drive and work stick and steering. He'd sit in back and work channel locks and e-brake. The bad part is we drove around for several weeks that way. Fun times.
