[TPR] Love This - Merry Christmas car guys!!!

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Wichita Kansas? And you moved to Oklahoma? ;-]>

Just kidding.....my rust bucket was a 62 Chevy Pick up....which I bought as a 
firewood and garbage transporter which soon became the UNPAID transportor for 
all the relatives and neighbors in Seattle....in those days (late 70's) there 
were few pick ups in the City.....anyway it was so bad (how bad was 
it?)............

that when I drove I could look down through the floor boards.....rust was so 
much worse on body and  frame....remember not having ANY brakes coasting down 
from mountains with a full load of firewood....down or upshifted all the way 
back into Seattle using an emergency brake....got pulled over by WSP one time 
for going too slow...said my excuse was the load of firewood in the truck 
bed.....he took one look at the truck and then me, and said get off the highway 
if you can't maintain 50 mph.....I might have been going 50 mph down 
hill....maybe more but I got that load of firewood back to the house and the 
right front wheel fell off the truck soon as I moved it.  
How'd that happen?! ;-)

Dear Dennis,
 
 
                     Now, that is not exactly the high horsepower and lateral G 
force video I would expect from you,but  it does nostalgically remind me of my 
rusty (but not near as rusty as the chevy) 1972 Olds Delta 88.    Sigh.    What 
pre Pantera shenanigans I had with that car.    I am told that it went to car 
heaven (or the salvage yard) in Wichita, Kansas.     What memories, but I like 
the Panteras much better.
 
 
                                  Rust never sleeps,  Chuck Engles

Guys, Mary Ann & Isabella,
 
If this YOU TUBE feature doesn't bring a tear of nostalgia to your eye thinking 
back to when you were driving your fine rust colored automobiles in the snow 
then I don't know what will....all guys who grew up in  Florida, Saudi Arabia or 
California can delete NOW - everyone else will love this. ;-)>
