re: #351 kirkspencer
My first car (in 1976) was a 1968 Chevy Bel Air - straight six, no air, no radio, no nothing but go-anywhere beast. I thought I killed it in 1982 and got rid of it. Turned out the problem was engine seals instead of a cracked block. I kick myself every time I think about it, but console myself recognizing I am not as mechanically ignorant as I was then.
bel air, sans air
