We have made it through another week, it’s time to relax and look forward to a great weekend. For us car enthusiasts on social media, it’s “ Frontend Friday “. Like many parts of the world, cooler weather has started to move into our area, and bringing changes to our daily routine. It may be shorter days and cooler weather, but we just need to make the best of it. Find a way to enjoy what we have. 🎃
For those of us who follow X on social media, it’s “ Taillight Tuesday “ again. I always try to find the best Mustang photos from my collection to post on my page, and this one today is a great one. I hope all my friends approve. Have a great day everyone.
The latest news has informed us of a new war going on in the world today. People can’t get along anywhere these days. For those of us who have to avoid stress, for health reasons, we have to avoid even watching the news. When I see a news clip, or political post, on social media, I skip over it as quick as possible. I still manage to see enough to stress me out.
The best defense I have is finding pleasant distractions. Looking for positive images of beautiful landscapes, and pictures of the best performance cars of the world. These things help relieve the stress and anxiety. And going for a drive in my Mustang is the best distraction of all.
The reason I started using social media over 10 years ago was to let other automotive enthusiasts know about my book. Now I just have to add a reminder post every once in a while to make sure any new followers know about it.

Many of us automotive enthusiasts like to post our favorite car photos on the social media sites we use on a daily basis. For some of us, today is “Shelby Sunday”, time to find our best Shelby photos, and post some on our media page.
The main reason I started using Twitter and Facebook years ago was to let the automotive community know about my book. As I became more familiar with the car enthusiasts who were on these platforms, I developed a great appreciation of the many excellent car photos that are posted every day. The photo I'm including here today is a great example.

The title of this post sounds like it may be referring to the personalized license plate on my car, but it’s more about the car itself. The happenings of the last few years make it seem like the type of performance cars we have enjoyed in the past are coming to an end. Everything is going electric or hybrid, it seems, with the vehicles some of us love fading fast.
My wife and I have a hybrid sport utility vehicle ourselves, as a daily driver. It’s okay, and the 40 mpg around town gas mileage is great, but it’s not the kind of vehicle that has my heart. That would be the yellow Mustang parked next to it in the garage. I’m not looking forward to the day that we can’t buy a traditional performance car anymore. And I feel that day may be coming sooner than we think. Better enjoy them while we still have them.
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.
