That is an interesting comment. In 2019, I was attending the Trifive Nationals in Kentucky. Cars, Vettes and Trucks (including big trucks) all in attendance. One of the participants had a tire blow out on him in a vintage 55 chevy car on his way back to his hotel after one of the days at the show. The car was apparently rolling on tires that were 8 years old or older. The resulting accident was bad and the owner lost his life as a result. The mantra to be safe is a good one because there are far too many people in this hobby who are not and think nothing of driving an unsafe vintage vehicle or even marginally unsafe vintage vehicle on the road. Its pretty offensive, to me at least, because taking such a chance not only endangers the driver and his passangers, but also others on the road. A tragedy we do not necessarily need. So I have no issue with the constant refrane of "BE SAFE" because I think its important to be safe with these old vehicles.
OK, so I am off my soapbox now, lol.
