Why paint.  Just keep it in primer.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

55 mph was only for a few years but I can't recall exactly when 65 mph on the highway was the norm before and after that period. It was instituted as a gas saving measure during the first big energy crunch. Mid to late 70's maybe. It was also touted as a life saving measure as well but both fell by the wayside some years later.

Someday maybe I will scan some prints of my wife's old (60-61-62-63-64-65-66-67...) yeller bug that she rolled.  We took the doors off and the remaining glass out and used it for a "mountain buggy" the rest of that summer.

It went pretty good with less weight, but we still couldn't quite make it up Flag Mountain (about 13K').  It powered out about halfway up from the pass to the summit, and I had a bit of fash getting it turned around up there.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
