@ClassyAsHell @kimsokol @Many_Bees @steelydante He started with the ears, then drew an eye, then went down to the branch for some odd reason, then drew a wing, then went back to the head and completely drew it in, then finished the branch, then finished the body, and it was somehow all perfectly proportioned.

@midwestern_ope But by the time you figure in gas, meals, and hotels vs an airline ticket, you're saving tens of dollars by driving! Maybe enough to buy something nice for yourself at the Cracker Barrel gift shop!

1982: My family is traveling from IL to DC for vacation. We stopped at a restaurant somewhere and when we came out I saw the General Lee. In hindsight I know it wasn't *the* General Lee, but to 7yo me, it was *the* General Lee. I was so excited to get this pic. #dukesofhazzard
