    What a morning!

    Confirmation that Dave's been paying attention all these years afterall.

    Randy is "barking" at the moon.............

    And when my inventory of pictures runs out in a couple weeks Charlie will be my wing man. (Yay!)

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Could it be that the guy felt that the stock bumper wasn't quite sturdy enough?

    I think what we have is a fine example of what we used to call "southern engineering".

    Back in my misspent youth a lot of old toots (and some younger toots as well) always put a bunch of extra weight of in the trunk of the car. Even a new car.

    Any fool knew that he would get much better handling if he did that.

    A couple of "cinder blocks would usually do the trick.

    What did those stupid factory engineers know?

    ....or up the wrong tree!

    Actually, this guy is probably a wanna-be James Bond type and he designed a quick-release cable for those chains so he can foil any pursuers in the chase scene....

    While we're on the subject of bumpers...............

    This one may not be as prone to puns as the previous, but I'm sure Randy will "pipe" up...

    You now how those old jags likes the fancy curves included in their styling, I think the owner was just piping in his personal opinions! Or maybe it was a place to carry the extra wiring harnesses when the ole Lucus sytem left him in the dark once again!
