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.
Grandad had a Nash Rambler station wagon in the early 60's, but I have stronger memories of my Grandmom's massive '58 Oldsmobile 88. We would beg her to 'make it go fast' and she would pin it for a few dozen yards to our great delight, bouncing on the seats.
And they were outfitted with those atrocious vacuum operated windshield wipers. If it was raining out and you had to really step on the gas for some reason. The engine vacuum got sucked away from the wipers and they would stop. Then when the vacuum got back up they would start flailing away like crazy. It was an actually an art form learning how to drive a car with vacuum assist wipers ..LOL
