Sandy's post about Horses made me laugh , the Horse having a mind of it's own is the #1 reason the only Horse I ever trusted was Mr. Ed . For real , I wouldn't get on a real horse because of the whole mind of it's own thing , so I rode iron Horses (motorcycles) instead .
With a motorcycle there was only one brain , mine , in control of the throttle !
PS , Tom , I'm sorry as Hell to hear about not getting the car , "the one that got away" always sucks ....
