I learned on manual, I had a car that had a hinky clutch- so I could drive anything. Heck I could start a jeep out in 1st smooth. (OK, I can't- but no one can).
I saw my car about 2 years after I sold it in a parking lot. I knew it was mine because I had a body shop do a repair and they over-sprayed the frame.
That was a great looking car- white body, black top, black bra, black trunk rack. *sigh*

That generation Mustang are my favorite, bad azz, period. Mine may get set up for more drag racing if I don't reboot the bike program.

That was the punchline on the hitchhiker/box joke that was circulating in my area in the 80s.

Ok. My guess now is a whole load of wheel and frame shipping boxes, plus pool noodles, duct tape, and a can of Tyson chicken. And a petrified half eaten doughnut.

I think it's your entire shop packed in there, while you do a little remodeling.

I'm with Reynolds on this. You have to buy the box before it can be opened. With any luck this can stretch into about two hundred posts also. Har! MH

If that's the case, then I hope [MENTION=425004]merziac[/MENTION] has good insurance that would cover that trailer, a hitch lock, and an Apple Airtag or something similar hidden somewhere within. I am sure he has that covered but I would be paranoid putting all my favorite things inside a box with wheels.
