Dennis........grew up with 1941 6-cyl Plymouth and 3-onnna-tree. Dad finally traded it in on a DeSoto with weird 4-speed Tip-toe-matic. Start in 1st, then shift to 3rd and WAIT fer hydraulic shift to 4th. Don't even try to wait fer shift into 2nd. Then my 1st car was '52 Ford-V8 3-speed + OD. Next was 1956 Dodge coupe with semi-hemi V-8 3-speed plus OD. Next was Plymouth Barracuda with GLASS back and 4-speed V-8; Finally a 1969 BMW 4-speed I took delivery at the factory in Munich, Ger. It now has 387K mi and 1-eng overhaul. Then a 6-cyl BMW Bavaria with 4-speed. 1st pick'em-up was Ford 3/4-T auto to haul an Alaskan uppsie-downsie camper. Then came 3 Volkswagen Rabbit pick'em-ups to commute 60-miles to Boeing in Seattle. Then alla sudden, my wife wants a NEW Eddie Bauer Ford SUV to commute to Seattle fer her DR's degree. (I think there is sumptin' in the upholstery glue that warps their thinking) Ennyhow, I summhow convinced her a Subaru AWD auto at 22mpg was better commuter than the 10mpg Ford SUV. (she divorced me after 32-yrs) I now drive a 1994 Dodge Cummins Diesel 3/4T with auto. I tried a 2002 Dodge Cummins with 6-speed tranny but didn't like it 'cuz I wouldda had to buy the 4-wheel drive virgin. My attitude about 4WD is it just gittscha stuck deeper in the woods. I just made a 300+ mile trip to Portland, Ore and got 22+mpg at 80mph!!! Had to do 80 to keep outta the way of them 18-wheelers. Whooee, hot-doggies thems FLYING.......Diesel Dell

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
