Summer is almost here! Time to pull your SBC-powered, dump-bed equipped Worthington tractor out of the shed, devote a half-hour to ponder why you deep-sixed your third marriage over constructing it, correctly ascertain that it serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, and gloriously over-sell it in an eye-watering eBay Motors ad!!!
