And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A jeep, in its natural environment, breathing that clear, cool mountain air.
Way back in my youth, there was an ad for a crate of WWII military Jeeps; there were 4 in a crate, unassembled, and the crate was $400, IIRC. That would have been around 1962 or so. My friend Bob & I worked hard, trying to get that much $$ but were unsuccessful, and our parents thought it was a crazy idea & wouldn't help. I used to dream of putting those Jeeps together, and they'd have looked just like this one here!
And a nice one, too!
