Reminds me - my son and I were at the 45th. infantry museum this summer, and saw a curator doing a tune-up on a WWW2 veteran Jeep - in the middle of the exhibit of vehicles (some very strange ones at that) - inside. We left before the exhuast got too bad. It was interesting that it looked like they were trying to keep the vehicles in operational condition.
