Things to ponder:

Fools rush in - and get the best seats.

Learn from other’s mistakes, life isn’t long enough to make all of them by yourself.

Nothing seems to bring on an emergency as quickly as putting money aside in case of one.

If you rest, you rust.

Thanks to Coffee News for these words of wisdom.

The Ford Thunderbird was a car manufactured in the United States by the Ford Motor Company. It entered production for the 1955 model year as a two-seater sporty car but, unlike the similar Chevrolet Corvette, the Thunderbird was never sold as a full-blown sports car. Ford described it as a personal luxury car, a description which named a new market segment. In 1958, the Thunderbird gained a second row of seats. Succeeding generations became larger until the line was downsized in 1977 and again in 1980. Sales were good until the 1990s, when large 2-door coupes became unpopular; production ceased after 1997. In 2002, a revived 2-seat model was launched, which was available through the end of the 2005 model year.
