If It Ain't Broke
Just got my March/April issue of Hagerty Magazine and on page thirty of "Short Shifts" which are short paragraphs or two about the cars they drive. A guy by the name of J.David Barnes of Houston Texas writes in about his 1971 and 1974 Chevy Vegas which he uses for his daily drivers. The 71 Vega has over 400,000 miles on the speedo, get this, the notorious stock original aluminum block four cylinder motor. He explains his whole theory is based on less is more and keeps a close watch on such things as oil and coolant and only fixes stuff that is prone to wear. He brags how reliable the cars are and " wonderfully simple they are".
I read this and almost fell off my seat! Man... This guy is after my own heart.
