Okay, this may sound weird, but cars do speak. Cars, at least the older ones where they were built by massive assembly lines of people, do. See while all a car really is is a combination of nuts, bolts, welded metal, plastics and wires, they have a soul. The soul of a car is made up by all those who dreamed her, designed her, built her and drove her. That soul speaks. If you take the time and quiet to let it. Just as all things in nature do if you let them.


no new car will ever have that same feel. Robots do too much of the process to have that same feel anymore.
Funny, my brother and I had a conversation back in the spring about exactly that. We were talking about how the newer performance cars compared to the stuff from the 60's and 70's. Both of us have owned late model high performance cars and classics, that is exactly how I feel, the older stuff has a soul. Sure the late models have all the comforts plus as much if not more horsepower than the classics, they handle and brake far better, and get decent fuel economy too, but there's just a different feeling in old iron.
 
Hope you're feeling better!

Thanks. I've done very little today trying to take it easy. I did ride over to Matt's and he was nice enough to let me dig through his pile of urethane bushings and pick four out for the motor mounts for the rat truck. I also did make a cardboard template for the new mount pads I need and Freddy is gonna make those for me.
 
I have seen some where ‘54-‘55 Dodge truck grilles have been installed with minor mods.
Some flat stock, expanded metal, rusty wrenches, timing chain and gears, and a glass skull...oh,and the six spark plugs i pulled out of it when i first got it.
 
Well made it home. Is it bad that I totally despise getting anywhere near New Braunfels? Used to love it but go from 68k population to 500k and rip the soul out of it and yeh.....
 

Be careful what you wish for



One day a man walks into a bar and to his amazement, he finds a tiny person playing a tiny

piano. Stunned the man asked the bartender where he got this amazing person. The

bartender replied that inside the closet there is a genie that will grant him a single wish.

The man dashed into the the closet and as the bartender said, there was a genie inside.

Without hesitation the man wished for a million bucks, but instead 1 million ducks

instantly appeared. Infuriated the man stormed to the bartender and screamed

"I think your genie is hard of hearing, I asked for a million bucks but instead I got a million ducks."

The bartender shook his head and replied, "You're telling me... Do you really think I asked for a 12 inch pianist?"
