[21twelve]

Same with my old man. On Saturday nights would cruise around town - the muffler had come loose after getting high-centered on a hunting trail - and I would slip it out of the exhaust about half-way to give it a “hot-rod” sound! Still pretty tough to look cool in a Kingswood Estate! (Got it up to 108 mph though once!)

My dad’s last wagon was a diesel - it was always having problems. My last memory of it was bringing the homemade pine casket to the funeral home for my old man to be buried in. (Mom woudn’t let us use his wagon for the actual trip to the cemetary - but us kids thought it would have been fitting!)
