#3 Reminds me of an incident a few years ago in Ohio, I believe, when a CSX train full of car carriers was routed through a line with overpasses that were just a little too low, resulting in several dozen new Explorer and F-150 convertibles.

#4 Not nearly as much fun as the tanker full of fat that burst open on the highway.

They needed another semi filled with "Dawn" to clean it up.

#5 Hey, Charles, my father-in-law's 911 from the late 60s is a fine old car with a butter-smooth synchromesh gearing and a wonderful throaty rumble, but it can't hold a candle to my minivan, even if I did once drive it for 80 miles down a California interstate and never had to get out of 3rd gear until I went above 65 mph ....

My Town & Country carries my show / hunting dawgs plus a boatload of equipment and gear. I mean, I can fit in *6* dogs in crates, plus the 12' pavillion/canopy, plus multiple metal exercise pens folded down, plus grooming equipment or agility jumps plus food and clothes and an electric cooler etc. etc.

The dogs and I love it all, the 3-zone-heating/airconditioning, heated leather seats, custom-made (by me) platform with storage space beneath, 168 cubit feet of cargo space of it. Now THAT's a car .... Heh.

Although I do have to admit that on a gorgeous day like today while I'm taking the turns on 218 around the side of the mountain along the river ... the Porsche would be more fun to drive ... Sniff. Wish I could have both!

#7 Hunting dawgs in a minvan? It may be legal, but it's not right.

#15 I know I would have wanted to be in Woodstock, but I had too many years and not enough hair then :-)

#16 No one would've noticed - lol! - it was a mud fest, mainly, blown to mythic proportions of titillating reportage by buttoned-down straight-laced reporters (remember the OLD kind - that reported the facts?) who'd never been laid by anyone they hadn't bought dinner for - a dozen times. You could call it the good old days (i.e. pre-AIDS), but that would be generous, heh. I'm certain I had more fun at smaller events like the concerts at Red Rock in Colo... Yumm! I think I saw a Beachin' Boyz concert there, way back when. Not sure if I trust my memory on that point. On other points, heh, I'll happily accept the memory, lol! These concerts heavily affected my score on the "Going to Hell" test, lol!
