I had a Boss Hoss (SBC in a motorcycle frame) for while but never got comfortable on it. I learned a lot on it, not the least of which were my own limits.

Love that ferocious grille but miss the hips. In hindsight, still a compromise to me.

There are commonly available GoPro clones that are ~$40 and less, perfect for any risky assignments.

30 years ago I had a torrid affair with the hottest thing you can imagine. She was too fast for me and moved on while I thought we were just getting started. Took 20 times longer than the whirlwind lasted for the wounds to heal and three decades on I reminisce more than is appropriate. I regret nothing and like Rob, still have the photos to enjoy.

A quick check on Google maps tells me that Dean and Wütherich should've been traveling North on 46. If they were on 41 they would already have cleared the intersection. Unless of course, the roads meet again elsewhere and I've not been thorough which is entirely possible.

I've never owned one but they've been in the family, from a mini to a diesel pusher with slides which spent most of its time parked at a storage facility racking up even more expense. Somehow the bug never bit me. If you're at all cost conscious (maybe that's my issue)...(yeah, that's probably it) just load up your most comfortable passenger vehicle and stay at Air BNB's.

Somehow I'm not a bit surprised. Not much else gets the troops into action like free swag! And I really did drive it around that morning in my PJ's and robe: https://community.hagerty.com/t5/hagerty-lounge/join-hagerty-for-a-drive-at-dawn/td-p/15522/page/33

Until I saw the Riviera I would've blurted "Charger!" without a thought. Now I'm conflicted!....And if I had the clamshells working on the Riv I certainly would've gotten both bulbs lit.

As to the photos: I sense it was the family celebrating the occasion of Grandpa's birthday, who was game enough to pose but would just as soon be out of the suit and back at backgammon.

What a standout image. Postcard perfect! It's cloudy here in Wrentham.

For sure: a car guy before making it big, during, and still a car guy after. I happen to enjoy his humor as well which makes it that much easier to love him!

My neighbors are used to mine (69 Camaro convertible with 3" exhaust and gear drive so I can never say it wasn't me) but I'll try to get out of the driveway and up the street without warming it up 🙂

I have done this job on gasoline V8s and in my limited experience only the driver's side mount fails. With a short length of 2X4 stood up against that pan rail I've jacked blocks up while they pivot on the passenger side. You've done a masterful job constructing a beautiful jack accessory but I wonder if it could've been done with my method, likely using something stronger than wood for the task?

Just a reminder Rob: if it's worth a drive to Foxboro you'll never have to pay for tire mounting/unmounting/balancing. It'd be a pleasure meeting you and I promise plenty of laughter with a kindred spirit.

I know of no grease-able locations on any of the cars that I have experience with from the early aughts on. And to this day I've haven't seen a joint of any type fail that still had clean grease in it.

Ugh - "What's the best you'll do on...." is the worst. It's a lazy way to get a seller to negotiate on the buyer's behalf. For years my response had always been "What's the most you'll give me for it?" but that was a conversation stopper every time. They can't even come up with a figure on their own. Lately I've been responding with "I'd let it go for (honest low-ball price) but you'll still have to come over and explain to me why that's all it's worth." Still too much work for them.

Thanks for the generous compliment! I resort to gimmickry only when necessary...and it was never more necessary.

Jeez barely two weeks to either acquire a hot rod Lincoln or learn that freakin riff - I chose the more difficult option and almost got the riff down: https://youtu.be/A2yUyu44YBY Good Luck to Us All Thanks Sajeev, Julie, et al at Hagerty!

It's amusing that we remember what our first ride cost so much clearer than our most recent...!
