The Buckets by Greg Cravens for February 03, 2016

That was pretty much what Henry Ford did. He made cars cheaper, and paid his workers enough that they could afford to buy them.

I paid $30 for a 56 Chrysler in ’68. Spent more in oil and gas after that.

Toby actually saying something sensible? We’re in the Twilight Zone, people!

Agreed.

I hope to take driving lessons this year. I got my provisional driving licence about 2 weeks ago.

But that doesn’t mean I want to get a car straight away.

Oops. Silly me. It was last Thursday when I got it.

My family once owned a ‘64 chevy where the floor of the back seat had rusted through. Everyone in the family knew where the hole was and avoided it, but one night we were giving a friend of my sister a ride home and she didn’t know about the hole until her foot went through it. She pulled her foot back in panic and discovered that her shoe was gone. Our family spent about a half-hour searching that stretch of road for the missing shoe until one of us thought to check the hole in the floor and found the shoe still caught in the hole. The next day my dad (an excellent backyard mechanic) put in a new sheet metal floor for the car.
