ONE <\/strong><\/span>of those such triggers are those who want to deny or alter\u00a0 HISTORY to suit their purposes.\u00a0 Those who want to tear down monuments or erase the good things that some of these historical figures did that shaped our society into what it is today- or was until recently.\u00a0 Free, democratic, with the highest standard of living- ever.<\/h3>\n

OLD CARS and TRUCKS <\/strong><\/span>that some of us lovingly restore (or modify) are a testament to our great past.\u00a0 Those who would have us driven around in electrically powered cars (short for carriage, by the way) overlook the fact that the electricity must be produced by another power source: natural gas, or dirty coal, until solar and wind generation is economically feasible and ecologically sound. i.e. NO DEAD BIRDS.<\/h3>\n

THERE <\/strong><\/span>are those who want to accelerate the demise of the gasoline powered automobile by ensuring that the means to repair and maintain them are limited by built-in obsolescence in the form of computer controlled engine and component management systems.\u00a0 When you take a late model car or truck to a factory approved repair facility (the dealer’s garage) and the repair procedure is to throw parts at the vehicle in the hope of fixing the problem- you have to know the writing is on the wall.<\/h3>\n

RECYCLING <\/span><\/strong>businesses, or wrecking yards if you will, still sell parts to repair vehicles- usually if the vehicle still holds enough value to warrant the cash outlay for the drivetrain part -and the labor to replace it.\u00a0 Most\u00a0 <\/span>vehicles these days do not. More often than not, these vehicles are ‘recycled’ in much the same manner as an old refrigerator, a broken television set, or a BEER CAN.<\/span><\/p>\n

BESIDES <\/strong><\/span>the ‘vintage’\u00a0 (Carburated- pre-computerized) cars and trucks I cherish, there are also some examples of ‘late models’ that deserve a new life. This could involve dealing with the devil- technology, or doing a retrofit. After all, it is hard to argue with something that rides comfortably, and looks good, and does what you want it to do.\u00a0 Kind of the point of resto-modding an old car or truck.<\/p>\n

IF you<\/strong><\/span> value history or just like the look of ‘old’ cars, I can help.\u00a0 My yard has quite a few projects that need new homes, and I also have TONS of parts to repair or build just about anything.\u00a0 Check out the rest of the website or PHONE<\/strong> (No texts-or I hang up) chrome n rust <\/strong><\/em> world head-
