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.
an old truck did not look cool in 1977, it leaked and smoked and sucked to drive, when compared to the earlier muscle cars that were around them. 70's auto tech was not the pinnacle of anything.
My '76 Dodge Adventurer did not leak nor smoke. In cold weather, it Did take time to warm up. I would turn it on and smoke a Camel filter until I finished, then turned it off. 20 minutes later, turn it on and drive off,
You did not drive it, you steered it where you wanted to go and just pointed. Benchseat, 318 V-8, power nothing, AM radio. When I sold it, it had 329,000 miles and needed an overhaul. It still drove to the car lot. Never left me really stranded - I managed to get it home or to the mechanic shop without tow truck. I still miss it.
look at those fuel prices
ReplyDeleteNow you need a $90,000 student 'loan' to look cool!
