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.
I bought an old VW bug in upperstate NY when I got discharged, and the weather was just like that when I bought it.
My Bug wasn't expensive ($140) but it wasn't too great in cold weather, as it had virtually no floorboards (rusted out) and the heater didn't work either (also rusted out.) I got a sheet of tin & several old sleeping bags to line the floorboards, but had to be careful where I put my feet.
I would really have preferred something like this, heater or no heater!
Those old heaters were sort of a box near the floorboard and the heat radiated out. In a small cab they'd cook you if you kept them on.
