    My Grandfather told me that, SOME IS GOOD, MORE IS BETTER, AND TOO MUCH IS JUST ENOUGH. But he would never tell me what he was talking about He told me to use my imagination!

    That reminds me.....maybe this would be a good time to discuss "Dagmars", A.K.A. '50s Caddy, and other similar bumpers.

    Here is a picture of '50s personality Dagmar....

    ....and a picture of her "namesake(s)".

    What's this? Now we have Rat Rods and Wanna-Be Rat Rods??? Then there's old skool (that seldom resemble anything old or show evidence of schooling). Man, I still think they should all be either SHOW or GO !!!!!! or maybe have 3 subcatagories for GO; straight line, left turn, left and right turn.... Would be so much easier!!!!

    I only have three categories:
    • Cars that I like
    • Cars that I don't like
    • Cars that I don't give a rat's fuzzy backside about.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Looks like "improvised explosive devices"......or water balloons. :-)

    ...and they would have looked terrible on the front of a Cadillac.
