Because I prefer older vehicles. Ford trucks through 77, Dodge trucks through 71, General Mistake Corporation trucks through 72. Only have the VW because it was given to me years ago, I really prefer cars made before 1960. All three fossils still have points ignitions, so do the motorhome and the gasoline powered John Deere...

Inherited the Ranger as a commuter/work beater. Can't get my older fullsized trucks anywhere near its fuel economy.

My "good" project bike right now is a 1963 Honda Scrambler, kick only 4 speed with twin leading shoe drum brakes front and rear. Even still has points ignition.

I like old. My current favorite .22 rifle is a roughly 1914 Stevens M44 built with the 1895 tooling... and my "new" center fire revolver is from 1931.

Man you really do like the relics! That's an impressive collection though, I'm still on a college budget so antics are not quite in my collection, I've got a ruger 10/22 and a sig mosquito for my plinkers and a remington 870 and a sig p220 for my big boy guns Grin

Eventually I'll be getting some toys similar to yours, but that's a few years down the road...

45-70,, If youve never done this & you can do it safely, take that gun out at night, get someone else to shoot it.. Have them sit in front of a car with the lites on, you stand behind, eyes shut. Soon as you hear it go off. open your eyes.. You can SEE the back end of that bullet as it goes away. I know that, cuz a buddy O mine showed it to me, you can do that in west texas. Thats a Big Fat Heavy slug..

That's just a small fraction, most of it from long deceased relatives or ones so old they no longer use the guns, bikes or cages. Glad I have lots of storage space... 11 buildings counting the houses.

I'm broke, so, most of the toys are in various states of broken. Wink
