I'd love an inline 6 67-69 Camaro to have similarly functionally decrepit. And I'm at no disadvantage for very nice cars to drive - I have two. But that's just where I am now. ... View more

That's where I am with a gorgeous, restomodded 63.5 Galaxie Sport Roof. It mostly sits. I could kick myself. ... View more

About a year ago I finished restomodding a '63.5 Galaxie. Porsche sport classic gray paint, custom dyed Ferrari orange interior, stroked 445 ci motor, just a gorgeous car, on high profile coopers black side out, dog dish turbine hub caps. At a car show recently, I noticed a younger guy going over every detail of my car with a friend, doing some real "pondering." He came over to ask me if it was mine, I affirmed, and he said "It's perfect." Thing was, he had three new (and barely used) GT 40s in the show at the other end of the "lot." I found that encouraging. He asked about the paint, the interior color and the tight, tailored low-pile Daytona carpeting, and I told him I "tried to make it into a Porsche." "You failed", he said, and we both got some yucks out of that. ... View more

Ellen Degeneres and Bill Pullman were in a movie, "Mr. Wrong", in 1996. Funniest part, to me, was that when she meets him, he's driving a beautiful Jaguar convertible, and she falls hard. They have a couple of dates, getting to know each other, professing how love is more important than money etc etc. After a few dates, he pulls up to her curb in one of these K-car Maseratis with the top down, completely self-satisfied, and her jaw drops in horror. He professes to be thrilled about he doesn't have to drive a car to impress anymore, and he just loves, loves loves this K-car. Alas, these cars have never gotten any respect, at least in popular culture, which I guess intersects with car culture. ... View more

I get it. I've had all the cubic inches and hp I've ever wanted in my life, and now in my 7th decade, it's the old cars I loved but with sixes in them that interest me the most. They're alien to me. I haven't ever owned a six. ... View more

I had two law partners 20 years ago. One was a criminally reprobate chiseler, and the other one was an even worse chiseler. The second one wasy buying a pickup truck from a small Chevy dealership not far from our office. The negotiations, what I heard of them, seemed to go on and on. Finally, #2 showed up with an absolute stripper truck, rubber mats, manual transmission, 6 cylinder engine, poverty caps. A real dud, but he was thrilled. I went into the dealership a couple of months later to look at a Corvette he had in the window, and mentioned that Chiseler #2 was my law partner. The galesman's face dropped in horrified awe. He said, "I never thought I'd get that deal done - I've never had to deal with such an a****** before, and it still makes me almost cry when I think about what I indulged with that dope." PTSD wasn't "a thing" yet, but I swear the poor guy had PTSD. ... View more

Jeez, I got a little verkempt at the end there, seriously. What great writing! GREAT!. And there's got to be at least 2 ten episode seasons of an award winning, critically acclaimed HBO miniseries in this article, or maybe a feature length movie, and I'm not kidding. That George character - wow. ... View more

I have a 72 Caddy CdV. I was interested to learn that the same model took only one hour longer, more or less, to finish the Cannonball Run in 72 than a new, modified Ferrari Daytona driven by Brock Yates and Dan Gurney in late 1971, who took 35 hours and 53 minutes. And the Caddy came in first in its run months later, I believe. Love my Cad. Love a Ghibli too. ... View more

I have two wonderful cars in excellent condition that I have to rely on carports to protect, in Florida, not far from the Gulf. I plan to buy excellent quality car covers for both in the next little bit, but I wonder - has anyone got a fool-proof strategy for finding local individuals' garages, short of the expense of a climate controlled storage unit - and a checklist of necessities to secure in getting one and using it? I understand there are insurance and security issues too. Anyone ever done this? ... View more

I bought a 61 T-Bird, Honey beige with black interior, 390 and only 18K miles in the early 80s. I loved the styling, but alas, speedwise, it was a parade float. Still, the styling kept my satisfaction with it high. The guys resto-modding my 63.5 Galaxie right now have one in a bay nearby, and it really brings back memories of my fun twenties. Now I have the Galaxie and my daily driver, a perfect 1972 Cad CdV with 35K miles. That's a real attention getter. Do love the Birds, though. ... View more

I never met a woman who wanted to be gripped by the neck like that, and I'm not sure I'd want to - for TOO long, anyway. But I've got a suspicion about why he might feel the need to impede her flight. That's a lot of hot air in the face to endure for nine innings, especially when you'd rather not even be there. She looks....enthralled. ... View more
