Arches National Park

      Road trips are something I’ve always liked to do, especially in my performance cars. But, sometimes the destination is more important than the mode of transportation you take to get there. The place I have in mind today is Arches National Park, near Moab in Eastern Utah . 

     I’ve been there several times over the years, but not very recently. The area is filled with spectacular scenery, and great views in any direction you look, but the park is world famous for the awesome rock arches.  There are many, some small, and some very huge, you could put your house under them with room to spare. If you’re ever in this part of the world, check it out.

Zion National Park

      Zion National Park is a beautiful place, not far from my home in Southern Utah. It is a great place to visit, and one of my favorite places for photo shoots of my cars. I haven’t been there for a few years now, because of the Covid stuff, and some other issues that had me very busy, and not much time to myself. Zion has great hiking trails, beautiful canyon views, and lots of other things to explore. Sometimes it’s pretty crowded with tourists, it’s a very popular place.  Something to put on your list, if you’re in this part of the country.

Mustang Fast

      Many of us have always enjoyed fast cars, and for some of us, it’s been a big part of our lives. The picture I’m posting here today follows that idea perfectly. But, it’s not just the fast cars that are on my mind now, it’s how fast the time goes by these days. 

     I guess it’s the same for all of us, as we get older, the time just goes by faster and faster every year.  It seems there is not much we can do to slow down this life, we just have to do the best we can to enjoy every day we have left.

     That’s what I plan on doing, and if fast cars are part of my life, I plan on enjoying them for as long as possible.  Hopefully for many more years.

Automotive Masterpiece

      Cars have been around for over a century now, and they have come a long way in that time. Every car enthusiast can point out a few that are among their favorites.  We all can name many that we find exceptional, in one way or another. Many are a beautiful work of art, or a top performance icon, and some a combination of both.  I spend a lot of time enjoying my automotive obsession, reading about cars, and enjoying all the great pictures available on social media these days. 

    Any time I’m put on the spot to name my all time favorite, there’s always one waiting in the back of my mind, that rises above all the rest. That would be the iconic Shelby 427 Cobra roadster.  My favorite of all time is an “Automotive Masterpiece “.

Mustang Monday Memories

      For some of us automotive enthusiasts, we have been Mustang fans since they first came on the market in the spring of 1964. I was just a teenager at the time, and Mustangs made a big impression on me, from the very beginning. One of my friends was lucky enough to have one in the first year they were available, and my mom got her first one in 1966. They have been a part of my life for all these years.

    I have owned many great Mustangs over the last 50+ years, and many of them were very great performance models. Only one was a Shelby.  My 2007 Shelby GT 500 will always hold a special place in my heart. I had it for six years, but only put 12,000 miles on it in that time, then I sold it to a collector.  It will always be one of my greatest Mustang memories. 

Future Frontend Friday

      The future is always uncertain, and especially for us car enthusiasts who continue to wonder what kind of choices we might have in the next few years.  We continue to hope that there will still be a car available that we would like to own, and be fun to drive. In our near future, I still see a few exciting choices that will be available, but out ten years, I just don’t know. Hopefully the smart people have some good ideas for the type of vehicles that can be produced in the next few decades.

Seriously Summer

      When you live in the northern regions, with long cold winters, summer is always a long awaited time of the year. It’s finally time to get out and enjoy some sunshine and outdoor activities. Time to head to the beach, or to the mountains to enjoy some camping. Summer is something everyone is looking forward to for months.  

     For those who live in the hotter climates, summer can be something a little more intense. Almost too hot to handle. For these areas, when summer comes around, it’s “ seriously summer “ . Something to be endured carefully, with caution to stay safe during the hottest part of the day. That time has arrived again for us living here in the American Southwest. Keep cool everyone.
