Automotive Awesomeness

 When you walk around a car show, looking over all those beautiful machines, at some point you get into a discussion with some other “car guy” about cars we owned in the years past. Some times the person you’re talking to is one of those people who owned one cool car many years ago, and then they sold it, and have spent the last 50 years driving boring cars. What a shame.

It’s a real shame that someone who loves cars, drives “plane Jane” transportation appliances, when they should be enjoying the machine they have to drive every day.  Automotive awesomeness is out there, all we have to do is look for it.

Mustang Guy

 What does it take to be called a "Mustang Guy" ?   It could be just a casual title of anyone who owns a Mustang. Or, maybe you must have owned several over the years. It's really nothing official, but in my case, I believe that owning numerous Mustangs, of almost every generation, for over 50 years, gives me some cred as a "Mustang Guy".

The first Mustang I drove was my moms 66 coupe that she got new when I was 17 years old. That started what has been a life long association with that iconic car model. The first one I actually owned, was also a 1966 coupe with a 289 V8 , that I owned when I was in the Air Force. Over the years since then, I have owned so many that I have to refer to the list at the back of my book to remember them all.

2020 Summer Day Dreams

 Here we are, the year 2020 is over half way through, and all we have to show for it, is the most stressful times that most of us have seen in our life time.  I had such high hopes for this year, and it all started to fall apart before it barely got started. 

At this point, the best part is a few summer day dreams that I seem to have, over and over again. The best ones have to do with the new 2020 Shelby GT 500, and which color I would choose, if I were to order one.  That’s right, I can dream as much as I want.
