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.
Dad had one in convertible. He sold it for a Dodge Dart stationwagon when more kids showed up. Until then it was just brother and me. I remember is as a great car.
My grandmother had one like that. One day she stepped out of the car, with the engine running, and some little tyke (who shall remain nameless)climbed up in the driver's seat and started pushing the buttons, just like he'd seen meemaw do. Hilarity ensued.
It was great as long as you just cruised. If you pushed it, it would wallow in the corners, and the brakes were way too small for the speeds it could go. Still, it was a nice car to just cruise in.
whoever put bumper stickers on that should be dragged outside and beaten with a wiffle bat.
