Re: IML: Old cars and TV shows

[henry ford <fordsfairlane@xxxxxxxxx>]

good point. that is a shame because like so many programs today are aimed at the much younger generation, and they just forget about all others over 30 years of age. I have digital cable and somewhere in the neibor hood of 600 chanels and most of the time I cant find a dang thing on worth watching, so that is why I have my imperial. to spend my time on. it's much more entertaining to fix up that car anyway.

 and it would be frightening to overly expose the power of the imperials, as so many people would junk out a good car just for the engine .
