I knew a girl in Houma Louisiana. She would take her very old grandfather to a Voodoo Priestess every year.
I drove her one year and was curious about the whole thing. The girl gave the old woman $100.
She left us for a few minutes and came back with a cup of tea.

Her grandfather drank it while the Voodoo Priestess blessed him.
After we took her grandpa home I asked, "Why would you pay $100 dollars for a cup of tea."
She said, "You are missing the point." So, of course, I asked, "What is the point?"

She answered, "I would pay $500 dollars for that cup of tea for my grandfather."

NEW: Congressman Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) shows video from inside the Dilley, TX ICE detention center where some Democrats say they plan to visit next week after falsely claiming a 5-year-old boy was "kidnapped" by ICE and "used as bait" before being placed here."

Mine had a 6 Volt battery and the headlights sorta glowed orange...

The "heater" filled the cabin with exhaust...

It had no fuel gauge. Had a stick you had to insert into the tank to see how much fuel you had left...

Had a "reserve" fuel valve on the dashboard that gave you a little more if you ran out...

The one I had was used and not restored. It did not look even close to that good.
But I loved it anyway.

I learned on my father's 72 toyota Corolla. My first car was a 66 MGB. I loved that car, but could not keep it in parts. And it used premium gas.

All of the European contries which are currently being overrun and conquered by Muslims and Islam, were all the leading critics of how Israel was dealing with the threat of Islamic invasion decades ago. Europe kept telling Israel, "You are being too mean to the Muslims. That is why they are so violent."
Israel responded with, "No. They are violent because they want to genocidal murder every infidel on Earth, including you!"
Europe said, "Muslims are peaceful people of Love. We will bring them here and show you how Muslims are civilized if you treat them nice."
Israel knew this was arrogance and naivete. Israel said, "Great! Take them all. We will fly them to you. Show us evil Israelis how to deal with Muslims."

Fast forward a few decades and all of those arrogant 'Liberal know it all' critics of Israel are all facing the loss of their nation to the Muslims they imported to prove to Israel how wrong Israel is about keeping Muslims and Islam at bay. As Israel said and as James Woods said, Europe you can have all the Muslims you want. We don't want any of them.

No, that one is a Super A. My grandfather and great uncle bought new tractors right after WWII, my Grandfather bought John Deere, My Great Uncle bought Farmall. I got to drive both, but spent far more hours on the Super As (he had two), either hauling hay bales or cultivating tobacco. Because the engine and transmission were offset, the Super A was especially good for running with a cultivator: everything was in plain view just above the pedals, or your feet if they were on them. Our fields were flat, but that configuration was sorta dangerous on side hills if the engine and transmission were on the downhill side.
