Hi Bob and Tom, That Wisconsin law strikes me as being rather silly, but I'm sure that some other states have some sillier laws. I wonder how many older running and restorable cars had their engines destroyed with that idiotic "Cash for Clunkers" law. What a waste! One of the $100 beaters I had as a kid was a perfect rust mobile, top to bottom. It was a '64 Pontiac Tempest wagon that sold new in the Midwest where it became rotted out underneath from the road salt. When I bought it, it had been sitting outside at the OR coast beach town where I grew up. The salt air did a number on the body and paint. It looked awful but it ran good (had a 326). Sold it to a buddy for $100 bucks and when he was driving it on the hwy, the rusted tailgate hinges gave up and the gate fell out on the road. Had another $100 beater of similar vintage back then where the gas tank fell out on the road when I was driving, but that's a whole 'nother story. I never had a wheel fall off, but a friend did on his old Willys Jeep pickup. It's a wonder that we all survived high school. :-)
