[Oletrucks] Oletrucks Digest, Vol 8, Issue 24

[Miq Millman]

the social media generation eschews email.  Even forums are on the decline.

I still prefer email as a means of communication, sadly, like our oletrucks
it's becoming a dinosaur also.

I sold my '57 about a decade ago, as my business travel picked up it became
untenable to have the fleet of recalcitrant old vehicles, so I winnowed
down to just the ones I couldn't easily replace (1965 911, 1960 Austin
Healey, first year Miata).  It was a Sophie's choice to be sure.
