    For the rest of you old pharts, with a lawn.........

    Some nice rides, great tunes, and fond memories of days gone by.

    Pity it will never come back...

    I can't grow a lawn. I tried once and GOPHERS SWiSS Cheesed it making it impossible to mow. For the next decade I would have to cut it with a Weed Wacker until the iceplant finally overgrew it. We aren't allowed to have lawns here anyway. No water to water them with!

    Ah, all those gasoline fumes were much more satisfying when they were leaded!

    I could insert a 'WIK'-esque comment here and mention that I lived only a few hundred feet from Elvis at the time. He was a big presence in our Memphis neighborhood, but I was only a toddler at the time. My cousins knew Elvis better. They actually grew up in the neighborhood, and as teenagers, they worked at a local movie house where Elvis would sometimes show up, to rent the whole place out.

    Three on the tree, just like in my '52 Dodge.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    My '52 Chevy was the same way.

    Actually, so was the '71 Ford pickup I learned to drive a stick in, although it had overdrive.

    My '49 Ford had the same setup, and I wish I still had it. I don't know why, but I really liked the lines and especially the tail lights. Not to mention when I had to work on it, I could physically get inside the engine compartment if I need to. Lots of room.

    My father had a '49 Ford coupe when I was a kid, first car I can remember riding in. It had that little flathead V-8 in it. I'd love to find one to restore.

    I got mine from my grandparents in '64. They had bought it new, and it was in pristine condition, with very low miles. It was so roomy inside, you could hold a party in the back seat, which we did on many occasions.
