  • A little gearhead trivia

    Heres two trivia questions. And we all know we could Goggle these, but what fun is that?
    1. What was a Hoyt-Clagwell, and who owned one?

    2. Who was Joy Harmon?

    1) A fictional brand of tractor, from the 1960's TV series "Green Acres"

    2) She was an actress......"car-wash girl" from the movie Cool Hand Luke.

    The first one I knew, I choked and Wiki'ed the second...LOL
