    It's So Nice To Have Choices....

     



    After a few hours on the tractor picking up and piling brush for future fires I realized that I needed to make a quick run into town, less than 10 miles from the house. Lately I've been jumping in the Jeep, the F150 or more often the '32 roadster, mostly because it's in the barn and easy to back out compared to the '33 coupe which has the ATV behind it.... Today I decided to take the coupe, so I moved the ATV, unhooked the battery tender and it started on the first push of the start button. Backed out, up the drive and keeping it slow on the 1/2 mile of gravel, then on the blacktop and let it out a bit. Now the roadster is KEWL with the 700R4, chirping the tires when it hits second, but for me rowing the gears with the TREMEC 5 speed is just the ultimate! Gotta say that the trip to town & back seemed to take 10 years off of my life! I love having three pedals!

    That is quite a selection... 8-) Good to hear you've had the coupe out for a ride and it sounds like it's still fun. Is it still LOUD?

    Yeah, it's still the same, but it really depends on how far you push down the LOUD pedal

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

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
