No doors, windows, seatbelts, power anything, turn signals or horn ! WOW !!!

by Eric Minoff(19): "A family friend here in Atlanta where I go to school invited me to come over to his house for dinner. The dinner was great, but what followed was even better. Behind the house was a ten car garage containing no less than 5 old VW’s (4 Beetles and a VW truck, something like a VW Bus with a pickup truck rear end) and a mint condition 1944 Jeep Willys. ( Click here for a nice "How to". - HardScrabbleFarm.com). What a fantastic old truck! It had a 3 speed unsynchronized in reverse and first gear, a 38hp flathead I4, and no creature comforts at all, no doors, windows, seatbelts, power anything, turn signals, horn, the list goes on. It was loud, stiff, noisy, smelling, uncomfortable, and not particularly quick (his Beetles have more power and 450 less kilos to carry around, but with no wind or noise protection, it felt a lot faster) it was one of the most exciting cars I have ever driven, Ferrari 550 Maranello and BMW M5 not withstanding....
