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.
watched a tug a truck competition at the local county fair 20 years ago, big diesels chained end to end, blowing smoke and spinning tires, in pulls two guys in a clapped out ford just like this skinny tires and all except solid rust. Big diesel started smoking and spinning, the ford just sat there brakes locked and then left out the clutch in creeper and towed the big truck over the line, had six cylinder under the hood. The crowd howled, the announcer said," It's all about traction boys. It was great! Like the old saying goes " It aint the gun it's the gunner"!
Another great example in this series!
ReplyDeleteI once did. Except it was an awful medium green color. 292 Six. Decent truck overall with a most uncomfortable seat.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that? About a '64? Cool.
