Thoughts?? I remember as a kid either myself or my uncles OVERHAULING our cars (we did it ourselves), best I recall they sure had LESS then 100k miles. I remember patching tubes, recapped tires, and having to change points and plugs fairly often and especially if we took like a 100 mile trip THAT WAS SOME TRIP IN THE FIFTIES.

Now the plugs could last 100k miles and to me a car with only 100K is kinda our main squeeze. You see cars with 200K and 300K or more that havent been overhauled and still running. As far as commuting, I used to have a VW Rabbit Diesel that got just under 50 MPG but I drove 30 miles to work all day,,,,,,then drove like 75 miles to law school for evening classes,,,,,,,,then 60 or so home,,,,,,,,,then read case books and studied law and we had 3 young kids at home and I worked 40 hrs per week at engineering, THOSE WERE HARD TIMES and I drive my A$$ off lol

BUTTTTTTT the drawback is my days of working on them are about over (dont have the computer stuff) HOWEVER they dont seem to need much either if well maintianed.

Sure I love old trucks cars n tractors and can still work on them, buttttttt if you gotta use or drive one, give me my newer model...

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
