Michael,
Speaking as an OF of 48, I'm glad to have you younger guys around to keep the
LBCs on the road. Your observations of the uninformed are right on the money.
We can have fun at a reasonable price, and they can look on us with envy.
Keep asking questions, so we can show off. Nothing gives us more
gratification, except a nice, top down, spring drive in an LBC!
