What's the best can in your collection?? #130202 Wed Feb 04 2009 10:29 AM Joined: May 2003 Posts: 2,217 Likes: 81 Northwest Ohio Ohio Oil OP Veteran Member OP Ohio Oil Veteran Member Joined: May 2003 Posts: 2,217 Likes: 81 Northwest Ohio If you had to pick your favorite/best can from your stuff which one would it be? Hopefully we can get a bunch of photos of some top end cans on this thread. It's mid winter, everybody take some time and post a pic, it's never been easier on oldgas. I'll start, an early Marathon VEP can that you don't see very often in this condition.
