1993 was a watershed year. Just out of college, I had the whole world before me. I began dating the future Mrs. Mack505 that fall, and then my beloved VW died. It wasn’t necessarily a terminal failure, but I had neither the skills nor the money for a major repair. I was off to theContinue reading “Ram Tough, and a contest (P366 – 2/16)”
