Try having a last name of "Patton", bride's name "Dolly"... We've heard ALL
of the jokes.
Roadster content: Just watched one of my old '68 SPL parts cars get the
final torch and disposal. It was REALLY used up, had been cut eight ways
from Sunday for some kinda bigger driveline. It's in pieces now that will
conveniently fit into a dumpster. Good news is the local fella still
probably has 20-25 more, all in one place.
