When I spent some time in the south, I found out I had a lot better luck in my Dad's pickup truck than my '68 Dodge RT. Never tried a tractor...

 

Sometime during the Korean war, my youngest uncle would let me sit in his lap and steer whatever kind of tractor Grandpa had, and I put it in a creek once, luckily it was dry at the time, but it quite a ride down the embankment. Around 10 years old I pulled a big wheelie on Grandpa's old hand start Oliver (could have been the same one I put in the creek bed) when I turned uphill without enough power and it started rolling backwards and I hit the brakes. Had my 2 or 3 year old brother with me. Never saw Grandpa run before or after that, getting to the tractor.

Mike, I had a '69 Coronet 500, the cheaper version of your RT with the 318. Kept a couple pillows on the back seat. there was plenty of room (we were probably both the same size). One pillow on consolew and one on the trans hump. Lots of room for us tall guys to stretch out between the seats. Oh...and even the trunk had plenty of room, they were huge.....aaahhhh...the good old days..

 

Howdy Mike & CuzAl!

 

Hey, MarCUZ...how are you? I see that you're keeping yourself busy.

 

Sup Cuz! Staying busy gives me an alibi.

Health-wise, I am about the same. I am due to go in for a fasting blood draw, which means I'll be an ******* until I can eat that day.

 

Welllllll....at least you'll have an excuse j/k....I had to do a 24hrs fast without even a cup of coffee...I was much more miserable that day. Then when the test was over, they gave me a cup of instant coffee. I asked " What am i supposed to do with this?"

 

Instant coffee is like turkey bacon...it's an abomination!

 

not many *******'s are.....I am a shimmering high priest of the **** kingdom.
