() Date: June 29, 2021 01:45PM The Rampside was pressed into trailer towing duty today! It towed my tool trailer out of the garage and into the other side of the driveway. Total distance was at least 200 feet and no failures of any kind! ![]() Backing was another issue altogether. Between the short wheelbase truck and short wheelbase trailer and no right mirror, it was difficult to stay on track. It is safely parked and will apparently live to tell another story. hahaha Craig N.

() Date: July 03, 2021 05:47PM Finally got my '60 sedan on the road a couple months ago. It hadn't been on the road for 27 years, and I've been bringing it back to life for the past 7. I run errands around town in it every chance I get. There are still some kinks to work out, but it's been fairly reliable and I love driving it. The very tired 80hp engine was at its limits during last weeks heat wave, which lit up a bunch of forest fires around here. Thankfully the smoke shifted long enough to catch a glimpse of sunshine.

() Date: August 15, 2021 05:36AM FINALLY!!!! first time getting her out on the road!!! Took the kids to run some errands. They look so miserable, they were getting annoyed at me for having to take a picture at every store, but when they are 40, they will look back and treasure it, I hope. After the first stop, my daughter, got back in the car and as she is opening the window she says "WOW, COOL, I CAN OPEN THE WINDOWS WITHOUT THE CAR BEING ON" I was laughing so hard.
