Believe it or not, this car was in gray primer with a straight axle and a hemi with 8 one barrel carbs when I went off to the Air Force in 1975. Who would believe such deterioration in only 41 years.
For all you guys who think I'm perfect and have no vices, here is proof of at least one. I bought this vice from an old guy in Germany who said it had been left there by the Romans when they fled in 409 a.d. It had stopped working; just a bolt fell out of the bottom. I replaced the bolt and greased it up like Ned Beatty in Deliverance; it works like it did 1500 years ago.

Got too comfortable so I thought I'd bush hog a little; killed my mower. Hit a big 'ol rock and broke off the center hub with the blades.
