I like this idea! Maybe they could issue special categories for these tags, such as:

"Text-messaging a-hole"
or
"Cellphone-distracted jerk"

 

Sweet, clean, straight-forward, trad! Love it! Great thread.

 

Norm Wallace's roadster always strikes a chord with me. Norm worked as a sales rep for Robbins Auto Parts in Dover NH. I was working there in the 70s and met his son who took me out to his dads old garage . No old parts left there but he did sell me his dads stash old hot rod magazines. Also a shot of another old NH roadster built by Curtis Hardy that i owned for several years.

Hard to believe that this one-of-a-kind Timbs Special sat
in a junkyard for decades and ALMOST went the way of
the pterodactyl, before it was finally rescued and restored!
I wince when I think how easy it would have been for a
good cutting-torch guy to cut such a unique car up in an
hour and throw it in a truck! Ouch!

 

Almost for sure
