When I was 16 and had my first Midget (a '75) I used to cruise around
town in January in 15-20 degrees (F...not C!) with the top down and the
heater going full blast. Talk about stares! But that was so much fun!
I have to keep remembering all those good times to keep me motivated on
my latest ground-up project, that seems like it will take the rest of my
life!
