A ‘70s something Ford Galaxy 500, a big boat of a car, back when I lived in Minnesota. The doors were all rusted out and kind of flapped in the breeze. Snow would come up through the rust holes in the floorboards. Got it for $250. Really had to bundle up in the winter because of all the rust holes letting the outside air in.

That brings back many a disturbing memory, I don't mind tellin' ya. Us hourlies'd put on our chuke and choppers and head out into the blizzard to pank the snow down. It takes some sisu, you betcha. Then hit the party store and get back to the cottage and play a little Euchre. Life in the 906.

Thanks for the videos, by the way. We start our day with them. Or should I say "wid em?"
