Now that is totally cool! Is it not amazing, how amazing these old cars are...She'll just sit there and idle as long as you need her too! You gotta love the ol' girls. She not only gets you from point A to point B, but she looks after and keeps you warm at night.

Saw the news and it looks like you guys really got hit - bad deal! Is this bad an ice storm unusually early in the season? Maybe Gore is right - Global warming....
