I have been concerned about the MPG my lawn mower is getting; perhaps
I should add overdrive or remove the mower deck and/or change the rear
axle ratio?
Or maybe I should get a couple goats and park the mower?
Take it away, Jeffy...<G>....

Bill Cosby, on his "200 MPH" album....
Commented on getting stopped in Steve McQueen's Mustang...
When someone asked him "Where could you drive this thing 200 MPH?????"
He replied "On any sidestreet"

(I consider that post to be the epitomy of a typical Avanti owners
question <lol>)

NO GOATS! They LOVE to climb, especially on nice shiny paint, and are
just heavy enough to damage your Studebaker!

I love little animals.....they are delicious!

There is always room for God's little creatures....right next to the
mashed taters and gravy!

I really like young goats.....nothing like cabrito on the barbee!

Though I'm not made of money, I have never ever cared about fuel
mileage. I drive my Stude and it uses however much gas it's going to
use, so no point it worrying about it. On my last two out of town
trips (one to Atlanta area, one to Tallahassee), the car got a
consistent 20 MPG. Both trips are 200 miles each way. For a well used
unrestored 58 Commander 259 automatic and a lead footed kid behind the
wheel... I can live with it. Besides. I think it leaks more oil than
the gas it uses. George can back me up there.. He's all too familiar
with the massive puddles on his shop floor. <G>

I have always wanted an Avanti. But if can't get 25 MPG, I'll buy a
moped and put Avanti emblems on it. <GG>

Hmm...on second thought, Jim is right, goats are a silly idea... I
had almost forgotten years ago I went to the ramshackle 'home' of a
guy who professed to have been one of the last to work for the local
Studebaker dealership. In his front yard returning to mother nature
were a 64 Challenger two door and a very rough bullet nose. After
shaking my head over what he was asking for those he informed me that
he had 'several more out back'... Out back were about five more but
they were in a large goat pen.. They were totally destroyed. I went
in and looked but a large billy goat didn't like me being in his area
and kept sneaking up behind me to 'draw a bead' on my ass. I didn't
buy anything and all that stuff went to the crusher. And believe me
folks, that is where it belonged.
Maybe some cows instead....a neighbor has donkeys but they are too
loud...
I wonder.. if the cow doesn't eat enough grass, can I put overdrive on
it? I have a model of one... (Nascow Stockyard)

From the way this thread is sounding I think I'm glad I don't belong
there. (G) Lamar
