By John Mays on Sunday, November 20, 2011 - 05:30 pm:For Sale:
One used Ford with a piston ring,
Two rear wheels, one front spring.
Has no fenders, seat, nor plank.
Burns much gas and hard to crank.
Carburetor's busted half-way through,
Engine's missin', hits on two.
96 years old, 97 in the Spring,
Shock absorbers an' everything.
Radiators busted, sure does leak.
Differentials dry, can hear it squeak.
Ten spokes missin', front all bent,
Tires blowed out, ain't worth a cent.
Got lots of speed, runs like a deuce,
Burns either gas or tobacco juice.
Tires all off, been run on the rim,
But it's a darn good Ford
For the shape it's in.

Weren't they all? Ok, except for the AMC Pacer and VW Thing maybe...grin...

The fun is discovering the vision, the history, the correcting, the driving, the pursuit of making things right.
To me the real prize is the advice, the sharing of information, the newbees with their excitement and the passion that most have for this strange hobby.
No, my Ford is not perfect but... Just wait, I have this plan...
