Did you mean NOT commie or elitist? What a difference a "not" makes.

What a great boat! I might take you up on it if I get up that way.

Any pix?

I know what you mean. My first car was a new MGA, and I traded that in three years later for an MGB, and now I wish I still had both of them. Hindsight.

I can't help myself, I measure ALL cars against the '65 MGB. What a great ride.

Mary, no wonder Rick wanted to date you! I can only guess what kind of car he was driving back then...or was he walking!

She was leaning on his truck and he thought wow she's cute.................................... yada yada, yada now we're all here.

No, back then he was driving a Cadillac and had an airplane. I didn't really get to know him until he quit the "good life" and became a hippie. I saw potential, though, and have spent the last 30 years trying to renovate him and make him a conservative. Here is the result of my efforts:

I would presume we all have a "right" to do what we want, until it infringes on someone else's "right"... right?

So who's "right" is more "right"?

How about left-handers?

Wow, beautiful car Mary, you sure had your work cut out for you though! A friend of mine from High School (Russel P. Merril the 3rd) restored a similar car. I think his was a 1926 Model A (or is it a T?) "roadster", a two seater, it looked just like that one, with the hand crank start (my job), gas lever and spark advance lever on the steering column, 3 pedals on the floor for 1st gear(down) and 2nd(up), Reverse and brakes. His had the wooden spoke wheels though.

After we graduated HS, we took a week's vacation and drove it from Hampton Falls, NH, up old route 1, all the way to Bahh Hahbahh, or for the rest of you, Bar Harbor.

You should have seen all the traffic stacked up behind us as we tried to make it up some of those hills...at about 20mph! Not Happy! But we had a great trip, camped out most of the time, and the old thing never broke down! His dad was into restoring old Model A's and T's, their family had about 3-4 of them and always drove them in the parades. Great fun!

Don't confuse rights with privileges. You only have those rights you can defend.

Does that have anything to do with the stripper trying to get into church?

I love my Ram. Next car, AC Cobra (kit) maxed out small block. Probably blown.

About six hours and some Gatorade to rehydrate.

I am a big fan of the TR3, the MGA, And Austin Healey 3000 for their looks. I drove an MGA a few years ago, and preffered my VW GTi, and my Civic Si. Second car was a '67 Datsun 1600 Roadster. I have often wished I kept it.

Not true. The only rights you have are the ones that are either given to you, or those that you take.

I used to be a Chevy fan .... but after replacing: transmitions ... motors ... rear axles ... front axles ... water pumps ... intake manifolds .... brake calibers ... on my last two Chevy trucks I'm now a Ford F150 4X4 believer. There is a reason why GM will not survive ... it's called "Piss Poor Quality" .... my mothers Impala has had to have the brake rotors replaced twice!!!! It's a 2004 and has only 35K on it. And my mother has never before had to have brake rotors replaced .... the metal quality is JUNK!!! The cost accountants were making the decisions, not the engineers while paying the exec's BIG $$$$$'s.

For fun I have a 91'SAAB 900 Convertable Turbo, Black w/ Tan Leather interior .... fun ride and it hasn't cost me much to maintain.

If I could have a collection: 71'Datsun 240Z, Austin Healey 100 or 3000, AC Cobra (origonal), 67'Mustang Fastback, Sunbeam "Tiger", 68'Jag E-Type .... I'll think of some others but that is a start .....

The best MGB was a 68' ... port and polish the head, throw the "SU" carb's away and install two Weber 2-barrel side draft carbs .... oh ya ....

And Fords are tough. I doubt the other makes could take a 18 wheeler hit like this and still run and drive. I did not get a scratch on me. Although God had to do with that.

Of course, bad braking habits couldn't be the problem...

I give you the Optima Dingo recumbent bike; it is now fitted with 4.99 buck carrier side bags (they take 52 liters of goods mind you). And I've done 60 km trips with 16 kg of goods locked away in these bags.

It runs on water and does about 100 km per liter (235 mpg). The only real drawback of this model is that the air-co is shut off each time that you stop. Top speed is only modest however; it peaks out at 45 km/h (30 mph). It corners like a jet fighter however.
