Thank you. Yes, I do remember the Fairlane and the Datsun. The Fairlane was as big of an issue as teh Datsun. With the Fairlane, we wouldn't get stuck in some town like we could with the Datsun. :-)

Oh yes...we'd pull into Windom, park at our favorite Gas Station for snacks... and SOMETIMES would forget to leave the engine running...SHIT! We were doomed until the engine cooled down...although sometimes snow was available!:-) Strange car (DON'T TURN...the key off...SHIT!)

As Bob Hope would say: "Thanks, for the memories".:-)
