"Song" is a very weird word to start a proper sentence with, but I'm not criticizing.

Magazines of the hot rod / custom (kustom) / high performance / race car variety were the harbingers of the car culture news for many, many years.

Now I'm remembering the early days of my youth when Revell instruction sheets had tables listing the names of all the car parts, which was the inception of my automotive education.

Be wary of the words that come out of your mouth, for the damage they cause may be irreparable.

Yesterday, I was driving down the freeway in a Gov't truck, so I couldn't take a pic, but I had a beautiful Rangoon Red with red interior '64 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible enter in front of me, headed toward the beaches with its top down. I don't know if it was in original, VERY lovingly maintained condition or if it was an older restoration, but it was NICE, almost pristine. (I passed it to see the grill to determine '64 or '65). My Dad had a Wimbledon White with red interior '64 Falcon Station Wagon, which was one of the cars I learned to drive in, so I have a soft spot in my heart for these cars. In high school, my younger brother and I rebuilt the 170 I6 engine and front suspension and added aluminum slotted dish wheels with B60-13 tires all the way around as a gift to our Dad. In the late 70s, the 2-speed automatic transmission started slipping, so I went to the local Ford Dealer to get a rebuild kit. The counter guy looked at me like I was stupid and told me Ford NEVER made a 2-speed automatic trans. The next day, I carried the trans in, set it on the parts counter and asked for the same counter guy. He came to the counter looked at the trans and at me, immediately got P/Oed and said "What the HELL is that?!!?" I told him it was a Ford Falcon 2-speed automatic transmission that he said Ford never made. I was then informed that parts for that trans were not available, so the Falcon got a C4 installed. A few years later, after he sold it, I was at a local Pic-A-Part yard getting brake drums for a friend's car when I spotted my Dad's old Falcon after it had hit a pole head on, still with the Tweety Bird sticker I had affixed to the headliner in the cargo area in place. Broke my heart to see that car in that condition at the wrecking yard.

Delivering pertinent news in a credible and coherent manner, particularly on the internet, seems to have become as extinct as real newspapers and print magazines.
