Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." Jefferson Laughter is health to the bones so just do it! |

Look at what happened with Tesla. Even the few who created cars that ran on water died. It's one agenda after another. I like my older cars. They are more durable and reliable. Fairly cheap to maintain and work on. |

The military still uses points in many of their combustion engines from what I've heard.... they don't want civilians on the road in an EMP scenario either.

My first car was a 1978 Pontiac Firebird when I was 16 years old. You could literally crawl under the hood and close it because it wasn't full of the crap in today's cars. I honestly can't remember if the car had a 400 or 403 as the engine. It did have a Holley Quadrajets Carburetors that were easy to work on. I remember having to set the fuel/air mixture as I went up into the mountains. It developed a hole in it and it was less than 300 bucks for a new one. It's crazy how much prices have changed. |
