[Fot] Stupid road trip

[Rocky Entriken]

Now let me get this right -- you're buying a 50-year-old car that was a flop 
in the first place and then you want to take it on back roads???

Man! Stick to I-10 so at least some trooper might happen along when you need 
that tow out in the West Texas desert or that barren bayou in Mississippi.

Let us know how the trip went. If you get back alive. ;-)
