I had a friend back in highschool whose folks spoiled him. He bought a brand new beetle, and before it left the VW Dealership, he had them tear out the engine with 6 miles on it, crate it and ship it down to California to get it blue-printed and built up to a 210 HP beast. Meanwhile he sent the body to a speedshop to get the car's suspension done for wheelies. When he got it back together, he took it out on a new four-lane highway. He picked up a hitch-hiker who was going in on the same turn-off. They got to the lights - he pops a wheelie! He pops it into 2nd - he pops another wheelie! They're doing 50 MPH in a 30 MPH zone. He pops it into 3rd - another wheelie! The hiker is freaked out -they're doing 85 MPH. He reaches for the shifter, and the hiker screams "AND ANOTHER GEAR?!" AND ANOTHER TRUCKSTER?!! Welcome man, we all are!
Hey Rusty! A 54 Ford squire wagon? The only movie I recall with one of those featured in it was the 1961 movie "Parrish" starring Troy Donahue, Claudett Colbert & Karl Malden. The Ford Squire wagon was used in many scenes. It might be a 53, but I know it is not a 55.

Did I mention that when I'm looking at these forums I'm generally screwing off at work and I CAN'T SEE PHOTOBUCKET! The government has decided it's a commie site and has blocked it. AAARRRGGGGG! By the way I use imageshack...
Yeah, but the Newbies don't know. Maybe the wagonmaster can ponder a sticky recommendation about image sites, company blocking, and all the extra 'research' projects one has to do at work.
No harm intended. I have to go home to see it. Please, I was kidding, I wasn't yelling at Rusty. I was yelling at the stupid government. I can see photobucket fine at home. Everyone, use what you want for hosting photos....
