   When someone said “They don’t build ’em like they used to,” my father would reply: “Thank goodness!”
   He remembered when a 5 year-old car was OLD and a 10 year-old car was ANCIENT. Now 20 and 30 year-old cars are ordinary.

   There’s nothing “ordinary” about my 20 to 30 year old car. It’s very special !!

   My high school hotrod was the same model year as I was, so a few months older. There are times I miss having a v8.

   I used to wonder how fast it could go. One time I took it out on the desert and let it go. It had passed 125, but I knew a curve was coming up in a mile or two. What’s interesting is how it got lower and lower to the ground. The thing only had about 5" clearance to start with.

    That’s because back then, it was understood that the average American could go into a car dealership and buy a brand-new car every 3-5 years. Some could afford a new car every year!
    Now with the greed of the upper-crust, we have to make our cars last 20-30 years. I drive a ‘92 Jeep Cherokee with 323,000 miles on it.
    On Mischief Day 2012 (October 30), I poured a couple of shots of Everclear 190º-proof grain alcohol into the tank in honor of its 21st “birthday” of when it was built in “holy” Toledo, Ohio.
    (Industrial grain alcohol is already used in today’s gasolines)

    We have 2 diesel pickups, 3/4 and 1 ton. I was wasting time at a Toyota dealership while my wife shopped and was shocked to learn that most of the Toyota line gets less MPG than either diesel trucks actual MPG.

    The freemus drive must need tightening, if the clem baffles have to be re-aligned….

    And, my 30-year-old pick-up is the bomb! STILL gets 35 mpg.
