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.
Dennis Weaver at the wheel of the Plymouth Valiant. With Carey Loftin, one of the world's foremost stunt drivers, at the wheel of the Peterbilt 'Needlenose'. Steven Spielberg's very first film.
Regarding the speed of those mining trucks, they are way faster than you might think. I was working for BLM in west-central Wyoming in 1977. I was going 45 mph down a large road... didn't realize there was a uranium mine nearby... and a mining truck right about that size was gaining on me rapidly from behind. I got out of his way pronto. He was going at least 60 mph empty.
That's kinda like the cat chasing the fox!!!
