    My first car was a '53 Ford. My Dad was the shop foreman at a dealership and I had know most of the guys for long time. The painter had an extra gallon of orange paint because he had painted a Union 76 truck. I did the prep work and it cost me a
    couple of 6 packs to get my car painted orange. I had seen that guy do a nice lacquer job when he was so drunk that two guys had to hold him while he was doing it. Getting your car painted orange in a small town is not a good idea. Everyone recognized me
    from a long way off.

    No, no, no! You're not sucking me into a political conversation. I have stepped away from politics and now concentrating on nothing but useless trivial bullshit chit chat. I am too old to let this thing they call politics ruin my fun.

    I had a 1962 Buick Skylark painted School bus yellow back in the late 60's. Earl Schieb had an ad "I'll paint any car for $29.95" (limited colors)". Yes every cop knew the car. And yes, it was ugly.

    And here I always taught politics was useless drivel and everything else was live!
