Songs of Life

      From an early age, I’ve always been a music lover. It started with a summer I spent living with my grandparents when I was 12 years old.  I heard the neighbor girls playing the popular music outside on their radios, and fell in love with it. To this day, it is still some of my favorite music.  Like the Patsy Cline hits, and the early Four Seasons songs.   A few years later, it was the car songs that were some of my favorites, as I started driving and became the car guy that I still am today. 

     Now there are many more emotional songs that I love to listen to, and have stronger meaning in this modern life we live in today. Like “The Dance” by Garth Brooks, or “One More Day” by Diamond Rio. And there are still many long time favorites like; “Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying” by Gerry and the Pacemakers, or “Last Song” by Edward Bear.   I listen to many, almost every night on YouTube.

Shelby Saturday

      Another weekend is here, and it’s  “Shelby Saturday” again. That always takes me back with memories of the only Shelby Mustang I ever owned. It was a beautiful 2007 GT 500, and a great time in my automotive history. 

     That car was part of my life for six years, and only one of the many great cars I have owned over the years, but it was the only Shelby, and still holds a special spot in my automotive memories. I have always imagined I might someday have another Shelby Mustang, but as the years go by, that idea gets more unlikely. That just makes all my old memories more precious to me as the years pass. 

      My 2007 Shelby GT 500 ,   just a beautiful memory now.

Tell Your Story

         By the title, you would think my book is all about street racing, and it is to some extent. But it starts in my early years, and contains a lot of my personal history as well. Through the years, my personal life changed along with the following of my car racing hobby. The book is telling my story, along with the changes in the street racing culture throughout those 40 years. Everyone should write down your own story, and pass it along to future generations.

Weekend Wishes

     When the weekend comes around, we all have ideas for things we need to get done, and other things we would rather be doing.  For me, the things that involve my vehicles are going to always take priority over the other chores that always need to get accomplished.

     That is what this weekend is going to be like for me, and the main thing I’m looking forward to is the car wash and detailing of my Mustang. The weather is good, and the time spent with my favorite car will be the highlight of my weekend.

Car Guy

      Every time I walk through my garage, I can’t help but give a loving smile as I see my car sitting there. I can’t help it, I’m a lifelong car guy. My beautiful yellow 2015 Mustang GT is nine years old now, and only has 24,000 miles on it. It is always kept clean and polished, I am an obsessive care taker of all my vehicles, no matter what they are, but especially my performance cars. 

     Most people can see from my posts on social media, that I am a car enthusiast, and if they are familiar with my book, they know I have been in this my whole life. That’s who I am, a car guy.

Never Enough

      Every day we post the best pictures of our favorite cars on our social media pages.  As I look through all the different cars that appear every day, I try to repost the ones that stand out to me as the most beautiful photos. When I see all the pictures of those new square, flat, Cybertrucks, it makes me wonder where our automotive future is headed. 

     Maybe I’m stuck in the past, but I still prefer the look of a Shelby Mustang, or other beautiful performance car, over what they are telling us our future will look like. I will keep posting the pictures of the ones I love, because, for me there is never enough. 

Beautiful Dreams

      Looking back on the many Mustangs that I’ve owned in the past, some still stand out as the most beautiful. The one on my mind today is the lush red 2013 GT that I had ten years ago. Many features of that car made it a beautiful piece of the long Mustang history.

     The rich red tri-coat paint color was beautiful, and made the many classic Mustang styling features really stand out. The great looking hood vents, the position of the lights in the grill, and the classic position of the headlights gave it a beautiful frontend look. I loved so many things about that car. Every time I see a picture of one of those models, it brings back beautiful memories.
