Taking a little liberty with the four eye moniker to say "Drive your cars".
I took my other four eye, if you count headlights and driving lights, on a long road trip last weekend. The car is older then the forums oldest member as it it fast approaching 90 years old. We have an 95 year old aunt that has been a little down in the dumps with the current viral threats. She didn 't know we owned the car (long story) so I drove 549 miles round trip to her house so we could surprise her and take her for a ride.
The look on her face was worth every single mile at 45mph with a buggy suspension and sloppy steering. She told all kinds of stories about her childhood and riding while standing in the back behind her father. Since she still lives on the family farm we were able to drove around the area as she told about different places and who lived there. Where the school used to be (one room), where the church was that they walked to etc..
Car made it up and back with no mechanical issues. The trusty 4 cyl flathead used some oil (they all did) but ran like a sewing machine! Mile after mile!
The message is whatever you have take some time and get it out, dust it off and take it for a drive. I think most of us can get out of the congested areas and just enjoy nice cruises in the country. Its amazing how many people will smile at ANY old car. They bring back so many memories and any smile is a good smile.
