Old Stuff Aura - Firing Order - Four Wheeler Network
I don’t think zombies will one day spring up out of the ground and come for our brains. I don’t really believe the government will leverage a hostile takeover of American citizenry and send us all to live in FEMA death camps. I don’t wear tinfoil on my head to ward off space satellites reading my mind, and I don’t think my iPhone camera and microphone turn on at random intervals so the decedents of Steve Jobs can know how I like my eggs cooked. There are some who would believe the simple fact I like plinking tin cans and old auto parts makes me guilty of all the aforementioned kookery, but in reality I just enjoy the smell of spent gunpowder and trying to hit the ten ring. As a gun enthusiast, I have some new polymer-frame, striker-fired pistols and modern long guns, but my favorites are my older pieces like my WWI 1915 Enfield rifle and old single-stack semi-auto pistols and simplistic revolvers. 32-caliber Colt 1903. For some looking in from the outside it may seem silly to search out a 90-year-old pistol that costs twice as much and has half the knock-down capability as many modern alternatives, but that’s the way I operate. The older stuff just has an aura about it the new firearms can’t come close to matching. And it’s not just firearms, and it’s not just me. It got me thinking about classic-leaning parallels in my automotive dealings and wondering how many Four Wheeler readers feel the same way.
