Hippie, I'm as Red, White and Blue Blooded as any American, but as a retireded mechanic, I say get yourself a Toyota.
Made in 'Murica. Solid as a rock. Sad But True.

I agree! Over 55 years ago working with my Father doing pole lighting for a new car dealer ship down Port Jefferson
"Port Jefferson Toyota"
I remember thinking who would buy a car from Japan .
Later on moved and became Smithtown Toyota a giant .
The son that was painting the shop later on became the sax player for Billy Joel Ritchie Cannata.

I have been humiliated every time the car business comes up so I plead the 5th. Trust me!

The auto workers are currently on strike for a 50% wage hike and get paid for 40 hours an only work 32! Guess who will pay for this.....

Most people in this country average 3% a year.

We as the American people are getting hosed and hammered by our government. I pray every night that we have an armed revolution and put an end to this insanity…

My Buddys blacksmith shop . When we met 45 yrs ago he was doing a fair in Port jefferson and was giving blacksmith seminars for four people at a time,I took this picture yeaterday ,it was here where we dropped a piece of hash on a floor covered in pea coal and found it. His belly was in the shot and I said back away.He has been on tv ,NYtimes so its no big deal for him to be in a picture.
I said ,we have experts in the group in 5 minutes you will have a Polish "Kielbasa" coming out of your nose.

I had taken the class and at the end he asked me if i could wire a welder .I was working for someone and I just did it .He asked how much and I said I will be back again .Above his grinder he has a cabinet and it was a box which used to hold his buisness cards and now pot and rolling papers . That set the hook on our friendship. We have smoked a good sized farm of weed in our lives and I took him with me on the journey for the eternal buzz.

That's a nice setup for smithing!
Aside from being most practical its also a buttload of fun I highly recommend anyone who was ever curious give it a shot.

Grumps had a blacksmith shop that I remember hand cranking the blower for. An old German craftsman, He made a lot of his farm hardware using scraps of metal he scrounged.
