A friend in college had been a commercial pilot who returned to school. He 
was older, married, and had acquired some toys like a Model A that he was 
foolish enough to let us borrow. Troy has steep hills as the surriounding 
area drops down to the river. As we descended one I looked over to see 
Pete rigid as he tried to control our spped with the original mechanical 
brakes.

Montana is a very religious state: God put the snow there for some reason 
and will remove it in the fullness of time. Upstate NY was heavy on the 
salt so anything much over 5 years old had problems. The flip side here is 
older cars look great but are mechanically deficient. There's no vehicle 
inspection so as long as it runs, go for it.
