How Many Years


      Over the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking about how many years have passed since I first got into this car hobby. It’s been over 60 years now, and a lot of things have changed in that time. The younger generation now doesn’t have the same interest in cars as most of my generation did all those years ago. It was a major part of my life story as I became old enough to drive. Young people today have many different things on their mind, other than the cars they drive. 

     My book covers a lot of things other than the car culture over all those years. Check it out, you might find you have some of the same experiences in your life. Anyone interested can find my book, just follow this link: Grab Some Gears

Fantastic Future

      We often wonder what the future will be like. What changes are coming to the type of life we are living now. We have our fears of certain world conditions growing worse in the coming years, but we also have our hopes of the changes for the better that the future might bring our way.

     This past week, I saw an interesting AI image on social media, of what the 2030 Mustang might look like. It looks very good to me, and made me wonder how close this might be to what the future cars will really look like. It sparked my imagination of what this future Mustang could be like.  Maybe a hybrid powered car, with over 500 horsepower, and capable of over 50 miles per gallon?  Keep the dreams alive, it might become a reality.   A beautiful image anyway.

Sunday Best

      As the days go by, we find ourselves going through another Shelby Sunday again. That always brings up some special memories from my automotive history.  One of the greatest cars I’ve ever owned, was also the only Shelby Mustang I ever had, and that car will always have a special place in my heart.

     Like I’ve mentioned before in this blog, that beautiful 2007 Shelby GT 500 was a special car. Every time I drove it was more than just a routine drive. It attracted attention from the other drivers who saw us on the streets and highways, where ever we went. Especially the automotive enthusiasts who knew exactly what the car was.  It was a Shelby Mustang , and always looked it’s Sunday Best.
