Some of the conversations here remind me of a time back when...
Me and a good friend decided we would fly to the Carolinas. Took a tool box as part of our luggage. We split the cash that we were takeing between us. We each put an even layer of bills in our shoes and went south to bring back a rust free something. Rented a car and went crusin, following one lead to another. Finally bought a 66 F 150 ( short Box custom paint,429 transplant) that we passed many times going to and from our Motel. We thought it looked too good to fit our budget. Ya never know less ya ask! Then with one day still left, we searched some local auto for sale magazines. Called on a Sunday morning, and bought a 65 F-150(long box 6 cyl). We headed home with our prize purchases. On had a noisy Alternator, so we stopped and boucht one at a Junkyard, just in case. Don't ya know, the other alternator crapped out instead. Somewhere in PA towards evening we put up for the night. They were predicting a SNOW STORM. Next morning, sure enough, a few inches of snow had fallen. Well lets have Breakfast and give time for the plows to clean up. Finally couldn't wait any longer. We hit the highway,and pulled on right behind the plow truck. Perfect timing!! Only, he wasn't plowing the 3 or 4 inches of snow. He was dumping PURE SALT down the center of the highway.OMG!!! Finally had to pass him. We had no weight, no snow tires, and a bundle of nerves. <So much for buying nice rust free trucks>. We were sick about it at the time.. Now we look back and laugh like -ell: Those memories are Priceless these days.. I'm sure lots of you have similar memories.. Enjoy.." THIS AIN't PRACTICE, THIS IS IT"
