Absolute truth. Good friend from college days (30 years ago) had a
three-door (one was welded shut) '55 Chevy - a real lead barge - that his
brother paid all of $250 for years before. My friend added a 4 X 12" plank
to the front bumper, as he was too, ummm, *thrifty* to even think about
junk yard prices for a used bumper. Furthermore, it was painted with
whatever spray cans were left around the physics dept. at school -
variations on black, mostly. We *never* had a problem merging. "Just
chose the most expensive vehicle and pull out..." was his strategy. Worked
like a champ....
