Jim Gunther Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Ah, those3 were the days. Tow rating? We don't need no stinkin' tow ratings.... Used to tow my '56 Chevy to the Drag Races with a 65 Dodge Dart (6 Cylinder AT) How many Airstreams were towed by who-knows-what... Brakes? We don't need no steeenkin' brakes..... A simpler time?.....simpler minds? You make the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick McGoohan certainly had it pegged, even back then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a time when we were expected to use our brains and take responsibility for our own actions. You were expected to allow for longer braking distances when you were towing, and to be gentle on the inputs. If you didn't, and crashed, you were considered to be a silly bugger. If you overdid it and broke something, you fixed it. Now, we need big brother to constantly protect us from ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
