    You can still go to the Starlight Drive In in Atlanta.

      Honourable politicians.
      It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

        Manual transmissions would be nice, but they are going away fast.

          If it’s not here then maybe it was an artifact of that time and bringing it back is no more realistic than turning the clock back.

              There are two drive-ins left on Cape. The theater in Yarmouth is long gone but when it was around that big screen facing the Sound was a grand nav marker in the '80s.

                Rumor has it that the 2024 Toyota Tacoma WILL be available with a manual transmission

                          "Quality of workmanship"
                          When I was a contractor, I endeavored to provide high quality workmanship at a reasonable cost.
                          This took time and time is money.
                          Other contractors who did so-so work got 2-3 times the jobs completed to my one.
                          They drove Mercedes.
                          I drove an old truck.

                          I'm still glad I did it my way.
                          I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.
                          Skiing is the next best thing to having wings.

                            Carburetors, manual chokes, 4 speeds with granny low, refillable shock absorbers, distributors with points and condensers, spark plugs you can see, fuel pumps not in the tank, wheel bearings that can be repacked, cars with zero electronics.
