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.
I remember looking at a superbird in Baxter, Tennessee in the mid ‘70s. It was for sale at $1600. I passed. Not one of my better decisions. But then again, I am still alive. chestnut
There were kids in our high school whose parents gave them road runners for graduation presents, other factory hot rods too, but the orange and purple winged monsters really stand out in my memory, they looked fast simply sitting up parked, those pointing wedge noses and rear wing, just nothing like it, even the GT40's and hideously powerful big block 442's, even split window vette's, did not have that look of raw speed. Its really too bad NASCAR outlawed the whole wing thing, can you imagine what would have cropped up to compete with them?
Meep Meep!
