Re: [Paddlewise] not a good morning

Yeah, bring back the rain gutters. I never figured out why they disappeared
except probably cheaper to stamp the roof panels without them.

My '89 Toyota All-trac wagon had them and I used to carry a Seda tango on a
Yakima rack with ease all over the great lakes and PNW. I would still have
that car if I didn't live in the rust belt. I noticed this summer in the
2nd largest town in Greenland, Sisimiut, there were numerous Toyota
All-tracs running around in great shape. Toyota only made them for a few
years.
