Man is Like an Automobile....

~ As it gets older, the differential starts slopping, and
the U-joints get worn, causing the drive shaft to go bad.

~ The transmission won't go into high gear and sometimes
has difficulty getting out of low. Overdrive is out of
the question!

~ The cylinders get worn and lost compression, making it
hard to climb the slightest incline. When it is climbing
the tappets clatter and ping to the point where one wonders
if the old bus will make it to the top.

~ The carburetor gets fouled with pollutants and other
matter, making it hard to get started in the morning.
His gas fumes can kill ya!

~ It is hard to keep the radiator filled because of the
leaking hose. His frame has a big bow in the middle too.
The thermostat goes out, making it difficult to reach
operating temperature. The headlights grow dim, and the
battery needs constant recharging.

~ His shifter is stuck in the down position which is the
'low position' and ya can't get anywhere that way.

~ But if the body looks good, we can keep it washed and
polished, giving the impression it can compete with newer
models and make one more trip down the primrose lane before
the head gasket blows.
