We're plannin' a convoy of antique fire trucks from St. Louis to Indianapolis in July. I can't wait. The way I see it, these trucks were built in a time when life was slower, maybe a bit more "wholesome", people lived closer to the land, and each other, and trucks weren't built with a "lifespan" or obsolescence in mind.
These are things that will be goin' through my mind in July, as my '41 1.5 ton and I toodle down the road to Indy.
If, on the other hand, I find myself stuck on the side of the road, I will of course be cursing and cussing anything and anyone who is 68 years old, and wishin' to He!! I had my Toyota with me!!! (did I mention that people were probably less fickle in the '40s as well?!)
Keep up the daily drivin' . . . I think we ALL do better when we're "taken out" every day!!! (somebody tell my wife . . . )
