Much to the chagrin of the "bigger is better" crowd.

Of course, nothing can overcome the laws of physics:

“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs

They must have had that dog on a rail to reach anywhere near 120MPH. imo

A Focus RS can do about 160 before Bernoulli's principle kicks in. The tires usually melt first.

My family owned a 1959 Bel Air station wagon. We took that on vacation in 1963 out to see Mt. Rushmore.

The old man wanted a beer. So we stopped at a bar room in Deadwood, South Dakota.

I was looking at the Juke Box. A white guy sitting at the nearest table called an Indian a nigger and it started a fight. They were throwing hands right above me.

But that was the old days. ;)

Deadwood was pretty rough, but I thought it had settled down some time after 1901 or so. :)

I remember going to Chicago about 1974 or so, I'd never seen hookers before. Still don't get why anyone would pay for them, at least that lot.

I was out of High School for a couple of years back then. Later on in the late 70's I was doing newspaper relays for the local agency to the various route boys.

I was using my old Blazer with straight six and three on the tree. That truck was a gas hog. It twas about that time gasoline took a big jump up over $1 a gallon and gas costs were killing me. So I had tot ask them for more cash which they gladly paid.

But one night I was making a drop at tone of the route boy's homes. I would shut off the truck and then count out the papers. I would kill the headlights so it would not run down the battery.

A cop stopped me at the corner and asked what I was doing. I told him, "I'm making newspaper relays for Manor News."

Then he asked his partner, "What's in back of the truck?"

She said, "Newspapers."

And here they were thinking I was doing midnight auto parts. ROTFLOL

Looked to see if my uncle Bill was in the video - he rode the "hillbilly highway" from KY to Detroit in 1956 to make a better life and build Chevys.

and now KY is the third largest assembling state in the nation.

LOL, I appreciate the irony!

Last year my adult son and two aunts toured the Toyota assembly plant in Georgetown (near Lexington, Fred would know where.)

It was amazing (to me anyways) how fast and efficient the whole operation is and how much of the work is done by robots.

My good friend had relatives in from Finland a good number of years ago. My buddy recognizes excellence and he was very impressed with his tour of the Toyota plant and I assume the Finns were too.

I haven't visited it and I do the bourbon distillery tours on occasion.

The sheer lack of human workers in that plant is amazing, and the place looks cleaner than an OR. Thanks for the vid.

I've never been on one of those. But I seriously doubt they allow people to sample the wares.

But I knew a woman that was eating Rum Balls. She got pulled over on a traffic stop. The cop smelled the Rum and figured she had been nipping at the bottle. He wanted her to blow in the tube. She explained to him that she had been eating Rum Balls which is just the essence of Rum and contains no alcohol. He let her slide. ;)

Were there no sampling, the tours would be pointless since no one would attend.

When I got here in the 90s sampling and sales were forbidden. At some point they joined the 20th century and they end the tour with a pro instructing the group how to sample your bourbon like a pro does.

I hear that.

I also heard the last place you can find real moonshine was Hardy, Arkansas.

We used to drive thru there in big truck on our weekly trip to Florida back around 2002 and 2003. Speed limit thru town was 25 and you better be doing it. Parking was on both sides of the street.

Now I see they have built a bypass around town. I imagine it cuts at least 15 minutes off the run. ;)

I find that hard to believe. My neighbor goes 4-wheeling a few times a month in remote areas and he always has some shine in his refrigerator - not for distribution. I'll sip some when playing poker and then go back to my beer. I've heard too many moonshine stories and I don't want to be one of them.

I would watch the Moonshiners series on Dish Network. I find it amazing the things they would do to avoid the law.

One guy was in prison for 10 years for making moonshine. When he got out he went with a couple of friends to the last place he had a still set up. He had 20 cases (4 gallons/case) of moonshine under the floor boards of the house.

Not too sure how the revenuers missed that. ;)

Got drunk on some homemade 'shine at a party when I was 17. Woke up the next morning in the front garden, where I had been puking. Don't remember a thing after the first few swigs. The headache still hurts.

That was some well aged 'shine.

I know better than to take swigs of it. Just a few sips.

But that shine was in plastic jugs, not oak barrels. ;)
