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.
You poor bastards on the left coast actually pay that much for the garbage they make you use instead of gasoline? Had a '63 ranchero. took a head on from a 1968 chrysler station wagon. hit me so hard on a city street it punched the drive shaft thru the pumpkin. the hood came thru the windshield and ripped out the headliner and exited the rear glass into the bed. both knees got punched by all those cute little knobs thoughtfully placed just right. thankfully my throat was involved with the steering wheel at the time so the lobotomy had to wait for a few more years. it is always a reminder to me to wear the damn seat belts every damn time. ya never know when the finger is pointed your way. yeah, cute falcon. but I'll never ride in one again.
Sorry, I didn't notice the gas prices, I was too busy looking at those horrific oil spots on the cement. They reminded me of my own old Ford Falcon. I could check the tire tread on the LF tire anytime while driving, just by looking down.
A nice looking 1960 Ford Falcon! Actually I have no idea about the year... about the car or the gasoline attendant :-)

The car is remarkably well-preserved, and so is the lady if she's the age of the car!
