I got a look at the pot belly and decided to get rid of it.

That's how I formed an interest in it. 9th grade school friend, who lived
over the Kroger store downtown. He had a non-renewable Novice ticket
(license) and he taught me morse code. During our senior year, we
pioneered the use of CB radio in our hometown, c1959.

You would be surprised at how many people wanna go fast, but don't have a

factory muscle car.
