Last Monday I went to a big cruise in my area, and saw a '69 Sport Satellite convertible I'd never saw before. Painted a later year color option and far from what anyone would call concours, but still a cool driver. 318 with a 4 speed. Yesterday I went to another cruise, and its owner saw me...

I became friends with a local couple who attended many of the same cruises I frequent. Randy had a very nice ‘72 Olds pace car convertible and a mildl custom’68 442. Randy had chronic health issues and passed away last summer. His wife stopped by a local cruise a few weeks ago and said she’s...

Growing up in the 70s Black Sabbath was a huge influence on us rockers. I saw Sabbath in concert a few times circa 1980 but Dio had replaced him as frontman at the time. I regret I never got to see him either solo or with Sabbath. His memory lives on!

My mom’s maiden name is Penn and she was one of two siblings, both girls. So my aunt named her son Penn to carry on the family name to an extent. My cousin doesn’t have a totally unique name, Penn Gillette of Penn and Teller shows there’s at least 2 Penns out there. Though not related to me...

I’m registered for the show, I don’t have a hemi though. Planning to take my Magnum, after chickening out about trailering it there last year due to the bad rain forecasts. Though miraculously the skies ending up parting and the weather was mostly good (still went but drove my Scat Pack). Wish...

Be careful if traveling to the nats next month! Getting scary to travel anywhere these days.

This situation brings out a lot of bad memories for me. One of my other vices is flying. My flying club keeps its planes in hangers located across an access road from what until recently was a resort with a golf course. I’d find golf balls on the ramp by the hangers all the time. One day I...

Flooding is terrible enough, but hearing about all those little kids at summer camp missing and presumably swept away by the floods is heartbreaking.

I regularly get flyers on my door for “free” roof inspections for possible hail damage. We had a bad storm in the area last summer which fortunately the worst of passed not far south of me. We just had some pebble sized hail and power out about 12 hours on my block. A few weeks later I was...

I have a niece who when she started college had a serious boyfriend, and when she graduated, had and still has a serious girlfriend. A few years ago my mom decided to decrease her assets by giving family members some of her appreciated stocks. My niece quickly sold her Apple stock she was gifted...

My beater is a '14 Dart I bought new. It's been fairly reliable and served me well over the years. I'm up to 133K miles and live in the rust belt, and the car still looks pretty good with no rust so I can't complain, much. Like most here I'm sure, I watch a lot of car related videos on YouTube...

Interesting timing with this news for me. Last week I was watching a rerun of Emergency on MeTV where the plot centered around a headstrong young doctor who was being condescending to Gage and Desoto, but had an attitude adjustment after he was assigned to do a ride along with the paramedics...

I’m with you there! I’ve got messed up feet and a few of the shows I’ve been to in recent years everyone insisted on standing the whole show and it got real uncomfortable for me, I’d have to sit and stare at the person in front of me’s butt from time to time. I can remember going to stadium...

In my teens and early 20s I saw lots of concerts, and even through my 20s I saw a number of shows before my friends got older and lost their enthusiasm to go out much. A few years ago, a 100 year old beautiful but falling apart movie theater in the village next to mine got restored to a music...

That’s the point, communication in aviation is tightly controlled to prevent misunderstandings. And if people in general were more disciplined in their use of the English language by not changing it or inventing new definitions and usage all the time, there would be far fewer misunderstandings...

For a time now everything has been “awesome” but now that seems to be changing to “perfect”. Not sure how this evolution of the English language happens. Aviation is one of the hats I wear. One thing I like in aviation is that the terminology in aviation is rigidly controlled. Controllers and...

One that’s been getting on my nerves lately is mostly written, but spreading into verbal communications, is this trend of breaking a short sentence into each word having a period after it, I guess for emphasis. Like it makes whatever platitude you’re babbling about really deep. So it’d be “Stop...

Wish you could send some here. We’re in a moderate drought. It has been abnormally cool here this spring. So much for global warming I guess. We had next to no snow last winter too. I’ve enjoyed this weather for recent car events for sure!
