Finally Friday

      Sometimes you have one of those weeks when you’re glad it’s finally Friday. Busy days of taking care of business, plenty of appointments, and handling all the health and fitness issues that have to fit into the hot weather arriving. That’s been my experience this past week.

     In our part of the country, we are already into the 100 degree days. It will be around 80 degrees when I get my morning walk in before the sun pops up over the eastern horizon. It’s all fine, but requires some adjustment to fit everything into the daily schedule. Fun times. Glad it’s finally Friday.

Monday Morning Mustangs

      This is the way we like to start a new week, with the best Mustang pictures we can find. That is a routine many of us serious Mustang enthusiasts have found to be the best way to start our week with the a positive attitude. 

     The world is a stressful place these days, and we need to find ways to avoid getting caught up in all the negative emotions. I choose the best distraction available to relieve the stress of this modern life. That means trying to enjoy my love of beautiful and inspiring cars. 

     The world is full of many excellent cars to enjoy observing from a distance. Most of them way too expensive to ever own myself, but beautiful to admired. Mustangs are the only ones I have actually had the pleasure of owning and driving.  They will always be a favorite for me.

Frontend Friday

      We’ve made it through another week, ready to enjoy the weekend, and maybe think about some plans for how we might like to spend the summer this year.  Can we forget all the stressful things going on in the world, and think about how we might find some relaxing time to refresh our outlook on life?

     Maybe start the summer season with a peaceful little road trip to a favorite destination, where we can forget about the troubles of the world, enjoy some quiet time, and refresh our mind with relaxing thoughts. I think we might need some of that.  I know I do, how about you?

Timeless Taillight Tuesday

      This image from the old movie “American Graffiti” has special meaning to me. I’ve used it on my blog several times in the past. The type of street racing featured in that movie is something I participated in for many years, and was the inspiration for my book; “Grab Some Gears  -  40 Years of Street Racing”.  My followers on social media have seen this image used before, especially to celebrate “Taillight Tuesday” , and that’s what prompted this post again today.  I enjoy those memories.

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.
