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.
Since I'm 79 and reality tells me my life is short even if the gas is being given away free I don't particularly give a shit. In any event I average about 3,200 miles per year and I saw this coming when the Harris/Biden team was illegally elevated so my social security payout won't take too big a hit.
Me too and my '02 Durango. I wonder if the guy who bought my '69 Cutlass, 350-310HP when we lived in Maryville, Tennessee is having fun. Actually, I think gas was more expensive in '04 when I sold it that it is now. The Cutlass got around twelve in town on high test and a bottle of lead replacement at every fill up. My father-in-law had had a valve job on it but I don't know if it was lead-free tolerant. I'm 79 also and there's a certain freedom isn't there?
An acquaintance in HS had one of those Chryslers with a 440 hemi. He could lock the front brakes and spin the rear tires at a near idle, loping along on that cam. Ran leaded premium and was insanely twitchy, being a Mopar product of course.
My '71 Mustang (stock 429/SCJ AUTO) got about 10mpg highway/5 city. My '57 ragtop with built BBC got half that. My built Norton and Guzzi bikes got ~20mpg/street, half that on the track.
Millennial test: Pull up to the pump and ask them to fill it up while you go into the store for a soda.

ReplyDeleteMostly drive a motorcycle. Mileage is bad for a motorcycle, but still better than cars or trucks.
