I put one on my tractor. It made it much easier to turn.
I have one to put on my boat if I ever get one of these.

First time I have seen a Double Cola sign.
My favorite when I was a boy.
They were 16 oz, for a nickel, before there was 16 oz.

We had one of these for a few years. It was actually fun to drive (it had a four speed tranny). Ours was white.

I like that they actually had words on the menu. Todays menus with picture leave me lost. I seldom eat fast food anymore and looking at a picture menu doesn't tell me anything.

I worked one summer in my uncle's gas station.
All the girls got extra clean windshields. I still love short skirts and long legs.

Fill HER up.
Cars are always female because just like women they will give you trouble eventually.

 

[SheepDog]

Yep! if it has wheels or +!+s it will eventually give you trouble...

Never with the riding disc, always the walking cultivator.

My aunt lived next door to a man and his mule. Old man would drink and mule took all he could before he'd kick the heck out of him. Never hurt him seriously. Mule was smart can't say if the man was,he always lost the fight.

 

[Bacpacker]

Looks like my uncle other than rollin a cig. He always plowed his baccer patch with mules. He wouldn't allow a tractor in in, said it packed the ground too much.
