Oh yeah? Well how`s about this...
I drove my mom`s (now brother`s) `58 w/twin 4 barrels from Pennsylvania
to Arizona in the early 80`s. No sun visors while heading west most of
the time. Had to put pieces of paper between the hardtop and the
windshield rail. Seemed every day dawned a new repair situation. First
day out, the gas tank sending unit was leaking fuel into the area under
the soft top. Fixed that at a Chevy dealer in Front Royal, VA. Crossing
the Mississippi, the forward carb linkage became disengaged from the
rest of the shootin`match. Seems I was able to coax it to a safe pull
off and luckily an easy fix. Then, coming into Groom, Texas, just east
of Amarillo, the generator went. Surprisingly a couple hours later I had
located a replacement and installed it myself while a couple of good
ol`boys kept their garage open late for me. (Stupidity confession: I
left the original with the tach gear as a core deposit.) Somewhere
around Tucomcari, NM, I hit snow squalls.
Every minute that went by caused me to wonder what would happen next.
Every click, clunk, tick or stumble had me gripping that big old
steering wheel even tighter. When I finally pulled into my mom`s drive I
was a nervous wreck. Not to mention that my back was killing me.

Piece of cake, they had superslabs in the 80s, country roads in the early
60s. ;-]] Still cleared Ky and Tn at over 100, at night.

As a soft-bellied late Boomer, I bow to your life experiences. I am not
worthy, oh master of the twolane, biasply and pebble-grain virgin vinyl.
