We had another even bigger storm come thruogh last night about 2 AM.  Straight line winds up to 80 MPH and two confirmed tornados which caused quite a bit of damage in northern Kansas City.  Again we are all fine and no damage where I live.<br />It looked like a mini hurricane when the straight line winds came through.<br /><br />Jackie...What do you mean back when you had to change gears?  I still drive a stick shift (love &#39;em) and have a seperate shifter for 4 wheel drive.  So far no elephants.  Glad your back is getting better.<br /><br />I&#39;m so old all our drive-ins from the good old days are gone.  There weren&#39;t any chains in those days.<br /><br />Bsy weekend, lots to do and little time so better get busy.<br /><br />Have a good evening.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />I am glad you made it through the storm ok.  It was bad around here.  As of this morning The Arkansas Democrat is reporting 8 deaths in Arkansas.  One death is especially sad, a 15 year girl was killed when a tree crashed into her home while she slept.  There was no tornado in the area - just high wind.<br /><br />Hope everyone is doing good.  <br /><br />Back to the 1st car stories...  My husband still has and drives his 1st car, his 1955 Chevy.  I have the 1979 Jeep Wagoneer my parents bought new.  My parents bought a new truck in 1992 so I took their Jeep.  It is my daily driver, I love my Jeep it just gets <b>lousy</b> gas mileage.    I took my drivers license test in that Jeep when I was 16&#33;  Passed too&#33;<br />
