Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
Well, as much as I don't care to name a vehicle the Garage won't let me get away without giving it something for a nickname.
'Grandpa's Hammer' comes from the old story about my grandfathers hammer. I had it for years. It was such a good hammer that I replaced the handle 3 times and the head twice.
Being a grandpa now I am in the process of reworking this beast to make her more manageable and pleasant to drive. Kind of like a 'taming of the shrew', so to speak.
