“Two people with guns jumped on the running boards of a vehicle


My dad’s car when I was about 3 was a ‘35 Buick complete with running boards. Movies of the time often featured guys with guns jumping on the running boards. Thought it would be cool to get to ride there.

What is it the neo-nazis like to say...”No human casualties”?

Lesson#1. Do NOT flirt with cajun girls.
Lesson#2. Running into the swamp is not a good idea.

It’s a fact.
In heaven they give you a harp.
In hell they hand you an accordion.

It’s in a Gary Larsen cartoon.

VW Beetles had a tiny one. Some modern SUVs and pickups have them as add ons.

I used to ride the running board on my Dad's VW back in the early 1960s while delivering newspapers. He would drive down the street while I reached into the open passenger window and grabbed a paper before tossing it onto a driveway. My '05 Jeep Wrangler came with running boards, but I removed them and replaced them with side rails.
