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 miss them as well - cars you could work on with basic tools, no computers, and satisfying to all the senses. I really like older Chevelles - a good friend had a nice blue '69 SS 396 that was a bit of a sleeper in that it had the high performance motor that was rated conservatively at 425 HP - with nothing more for further upgrades than Hooker headers on it, it would routinely trounce most all other Chevelles and GTOs we ran across in our streetlight matches in north Dallas. Good days for sure!
I really miss those days..........
ReplyDeleteMe too, Tam. My ventures in my 64 Mustang memory are strong. It's amazing what you could do in the back seat of that car.
ReplyDeleteI had one of those, too. It was my second car after a POS '63 Plymouth Valiant.........

ReplyDeleteNow that is sexy.
ReplyDeleteA car that nice should not be on a gravel road.
