No warm and fuzzies really... I'm not that old LOL!!! I ran across this letter on the internet, and after paying close to $6000 for a new gearbox for my5 year old car, it just made me think...

Pugwash Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Out of interest, what is it that makes you warm and fuzzy about this postcard? (More specifically I mean, it intrigues me). I'm glad you asked. I don't get it myself. Sure, it's interesting, but I'm not sure I'd call the Model-T something to wax nostalgic over. The letter itself is a desperate act of a struggling mechanic a year and four months before the depravity of the great depression took hold and it makes me glad I'm alive today instead of back then. Still, to each his own, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
