Of all the things I post on my blog, my favorites are the things that highlight my love of cars, and my appreciation of where I live. I have mentioned many times before, that I feel very lucky to live in a very beautiful area of Southern Utah. A perfect place to enjoy my love of driving my car in beautiful country.
Also, anyone interested in my automotive history should check out my book. You can find it, and read sample pages, just follow this link: Grab Some Gears
We just returned from a road trip to a wedding and back, about 1800 miles, in a SUV. You do what you have to do for your life and family. But, being a life-long “car guy” , it was not my preferred choice of transportation. I thought about it over and over again on the drive , what fun that would have been in a great performance car. I can imagine what it would have been like making that trip in a sharp new Shelby GT 500. Great interstate highway, through miles of beautiful mountains and countryside, in a cool car ??? The Shelby would have plenty of room for my wife and me, and some luggage. It would have been perfect. Still in my dreams. 😎
Perfect travel transportation. (Twitter photo).
Today is Good Friday, and also “Frontend Friday” to us automotive enthusiasts who regularly post our favorite car photos on Twitter. The photo I’m posting here on my blog today is of a 427 Cobra , one of the greatest performance cars of all time. I’ve never actually owned one, but I used to think some day I might have a 427 Cobra “kit car”. That has never happened, and now seems very unlikely. I see plenty of them in the car shows I occasionally attend, but they are very impractical for me personally. I guess they will just have to stay in my dreams.
