New Day

      No matter what life throws our way, we do our best to work through it, and do what has to be done to handle the problems that come our way. Keep on going, handle the stress, tomorrow is a new day. 

     The world we live in these days is always throwing something into our lives that we have to deal with, and adding to the stress of life. Just when we get one issue taken care of, something new comes along. It’s a never ending process.

     I always try to find something to look forward to. Something I enjoy doing that helps me handle the stress and keep me motivated.  A little time with my car is a great distraction. Tomorrow is a new day.

Shelby Sunday

      This week Shelby Sunday is also Saint Patrick’s Day, so I had to find a way to put them together.  What better way than to find an appropriate green Shelby. This one is a very nice looking Mustang. 

     I have not always liked the green on every Mustang model over the years, but lately I’ve found many pictures that I like, and some are of older models that I never fully appreciated before. But, I liked this newer model the first time I saw it.

     Anyone can find my book and read sample pages, just follow this link: Grab Some Gears

Throwback Thursday

      Today is “Throwback Thursday”  for many of us who post our favorite old car photos on social media. Sometimes it’s just an example of past car models that we admire, or wish we could have owned, and sometimes it is an example of one of the best we had in years gone by. That’s the case for me today.

     The car model I’m posting here today is a 1970 Ford Torino Cobra, in the same color as the one I owned over 30 years ago.  The Torino Cobras were a beautiful body style in those years, and powered by a legendary 429 Cobra-Jet V8.  I ran mine on the drag strip, and in many street races, back in those days. It’s still one of my favorite muscle cars of the many I've owned over the years. 

      1970 Torino Cobra, like the one I used to own.
