In cruising about this afternoon in some really great weather, I happened upon a couple of 'old friends', just had to stop and share!

In the current political climate I would be hesitant to take any "General Lee" type vehicle out in public for safety reasons. Those a**hole antifa would baseball bat that car to a lump of metal and no telling what would happen to the occupants. Sadly, the country I grew up in is no longer here due to political correctness and fringe groups.
