Open Mike, was your Plymouth a Duster? I had a purple one, first new car that I owned, and it was a Slant 6. All the paint on purple Plymouth Dusters and Dodge Demons peeled. Other than that, you couldn't kill them. I could identify the no longer purple cars approaching from far down the road. I learned a lesson: stick to a basic car color, not a new one.

Thread drift, I know. Sorry.

Songwronger, Prince Valiant must have aged eventually. He had children who grew up.
