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.
Ahhh, The Dragon. When we moved to my wife's hometown of Maryville, Tn, we took The Dragon to some Georgia mountain tourist town to pick up a piece of furniture that had been damaged. We were in my '97 S-10 pickup, 4cyl, 5 speed. Most of the trip was in first and second gear with my wife bent over staring at the floor to keep from throwing up. A couple of years later, checking out of the motel in Florida where my son was married, we met a couple with a BMW sporty car ( don't know BMW's) with a Rode the Dragon tag frame. We had a good time over our having done it in an S-10.
Probably drove my work truck 25 to 30 times from Knoxville over the dragon in a short time while designing, building and installing all the signage for the resort below the dam. Never rode my bike over again I was so sick of it. (Too much carnage also). Bubbarust
That would be a great car driving through the dragon.

A 1900 SSZ, body by Zagato. Early '50s and less than 50 built IIRC.

Ha, I can see Elio’s double bubble design as in the Fiat Abarth.
