My retirement check -once a month- is less than my weekly pay check before I got old and had to retire. Whens the last time anyone seen a 75yr old cop chasing the bad guy eh! So high speed chases; been in too many, NOW 50
mph can't see the road no more. Solution get rid of so called "modern" junk
buy a 46 super deluxe - no more getting shoe horned into her lunch box, I
walk into my car & sit on a couch. Those V8 cars shifted, steered, like a baby
carriage. Punch line: Momma's car looks like a little Bronco but 4 banger and
5 speed OD.. She bought it new gotta been 10 or more old. Floor shift and
clutch for this women .. but no way she can do a simple 3 on tree?? just to
prove or make me idiot at the time of the year snow & bulbs & the stuff
that warms the tummy. My mother in law, wife's mamma is 90yrs. She is a
peach, I say Nanna bring me to the pack'y store in my car. Its dark its Christmas week, she and I gets in the thing, its dark she, on instinct, goes for the ign switch, pump the gas peddle and presses the start button. At that point my brain got stuck. well we went she shifted & drove like WWII troop
carrier: she said my father bought a new when available ah 1942 V8 same
42 48 she drove it to school and what ever.
