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.
