What color Green?

My apologies. It was not my intention to upset anyone, nor you specifically. My comment was meant to illustrate deep admiration due transportation of domestic origin.

Respectfully, I NEVER mentioned "Letting it rot in a garage", only daily use.

As a business owner since June 1984 and a retired Project Engineer & Tier 1 Supplier of industrial automation, I have designed, engineered to my customers' part print specifications. Occasionally tolerances requiring 0.0001 inch/0.00254 millimeter in climate controlled environs with 20 second cycle times. 90~100 hours weeks have been my standard fare for several decades.

Drive them, enjoy them, and fix them when they break, aye. Nothing is more exciting to me.

However, may I suggest you be less prone to disparaging others, considering that their scope of knowledge and experience may well eclipse your own?

Incidentally, I do also collect first-day covers, rare precious metal coins, and wine from around the globe.
