Spotted

Just two very nice cars I spotted. My inspiration to spot other nice cars in a more natural habitat other than a show or the track. What cars do people drive to the track as a spectator? I don't know. I'm going to swing past the Northwest Historics Vintage Auto Races and find out. If you see your car here drop me an email. I carved my email address in your fender.

the blog of shame

For the record, this is the crappiest blog ever.  Basically I've got nothing to say, but I did wash my car.  So please don't read it. I’ve already blown my entire car spending budget this year. Any projects this summer will need to be small and cheap. Thankfully the latest car needs nothing in the way of service for the immediate future. However, we all know you can’t just buy a car and be happy. You’ve got to do SOMETHING to it, right? You’re damn right. So the small, cheap projects have begun.  I checked my tires. Rectified the squeeking breaks.  I wired up my Valentine One and installed a permanent mount.  The TomTom is now hardwired. Topped off the oil.  Reorganized my toolkit.  For the most part, a well bought used car doesn't need too much in the way of small projects, which is good but also boring.   A few of the bigger things are too pricey (HID headlights for instance...

Moms Tbird

 1955 Ford Thunderbird, Golden Rod yellow This car is slated to go on consignment or eBay perhaps. Currently a new home purchase is distracting us from the sale of this car and it will have to wait till time is available to list it. In the meanwhile, feel free to contact me if you want a flawless '55 T-Bird Photo from Barrett-Jackson auction. Bought at Barrett-Jackson about  Las Vegas about 3 years, and 20 miles ago.  This T-Bird was a total restoration (body-off) on a California car.  Rebuilt 292ci V8, 3 speed auto, power steering, both tops. Also an auction photo The electrical system was converted during restoration to the more serviceable 12-volt system.  Making it so this could be driven more than just polished and trailered.   I know, you can drive a 6 volt T-Bird, but not if you're an average enthusiast you can't. After all, cool cars should be driven as much as humanly possible. Mom actual...

Start your engines to the highlights of Adam’s hardrive. Way too fast, way too cool the ZO6!!!  Sometimes too much is just right. Formal night on the way to the Amalfi Coast.  3 special ladies. Play hard, crash. Formal dining on the Millenium Let the fun begin in Italy Lake Como, is that a movie star? It’s Dee Venice maybe, but who knows really? Wherever it was, it sure looked fun. Rome. Getting loaded Survivor’s are cool.  So was donating it to the Corvette Museum Dee in her element.  Watch out! 442.  The main course. GTO.  A little desert. On the chopping block. Sun Into every trip to Hawaii a little rain must fall. Rain or shine.  We love you.  Happy birthday.
