Came across this photo and it reminded me of a conversation Jim and I had this past weekend. While driving home from the camper we came across an older vehicle that was similar to his Dad's Chrysler Fury III, that Jim had while we were dating (oh so many years ago). In our hometown, it was common to "scoop the loop" with our friends. Of course, the cars were packed with as many people as they would hold. The Fury was one of those vehicles!

Make it a good one!
