Toadtorrent Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Holy Cow...what a letter. That's great.
cornerstone Posted January 31, 2010 Report 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 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... "Those were the days"

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.
