I get where you’re coming from with digital stuff being easier to recover, but I’ve gotta say, I still trust paper more—at least for my own peace of m...
This is so true. I used to think, “Hey, I’m just driving my ‘68 Mustang to Cars & Coffee, what’s the worst that could happen?” Then a buddy got si...
I get where you’re coming from, but I’ve had the opposite experience with my ‘68 Charger. My cousin borrowed it for a couple weeks while his was in th...
I hear you on the “don’t just assume you need it” angle, but I’ll admit, I’m a little more cautious after what happened to me a couple years back. Ren...
