“Who the heck knwos waht an “mg” is?”

The MG-B’s were the cool cars to have when I was in high school. I couldn’t afford one so I got the smaller, cheaper Triumph Spitfire. It was very small and very low to the ground. I remember one time when I was the first car stopped at a railroad crossing. The train was stopped in front of us. I looked at the tank car in front of us. I looked over at my friend and smiled...and said I think I can make it under the train, He said “NOOOOOOO! Don’t try it.” and pulled up the hand brake. I didn’t try but we had to wait at least 20 minutes before the train moved. I’ll never know if I could have made it but at least I am still alive.

I did buy a similar car a few years ago..just for fun, a Fiat Abarth Spider. I only have 600 miles on it, only drive it about once or twice a month when it’s not raining. It goes to my grand-nephew when I die...with instructions not to drive under trains.
