Driving Old Vehicles

William McGurn, The Wall Street Journal‘s chief editorial writer has penned a column in praise of what he calls “My ‘Train Station’ Car It’s old, dented, ugly, loud and . . . perfect." I enjoyed reading it.  I drive old vehicles.  My 94 Burb has 120 miles short of 210,000 miles on the odometer.  No 2 to 3 mile jaunts to the train station for this vehicle.  It still makes runs to Idaho, Ohio the UP of Michigan and what not.  My 82 Jeep Wagoneer has 149,800 some odd miles on it and its dented, loud, and is far from ugly in my eyes, though the looks it gets on the streets aren’t cast its way for its beauty.  This is my fishing vehicle.  It burns some oil but I’d run it to Alaska it has so much heart.  I love old vehicles.
