Way more than I want to spend. Would take too long to get home from there anyway....

None of our cars get much better than 12 mpg. The Cutlass might get 14 mpg on the highway, but we don't go on the highway much anyway....

hello again....made reservations at HIE along the way...nervous about taking the '69 Z.....maybe about the 12 mpg, but.....anyway, probably will drive...

I came across this on YouTube and had to share. It’s a plane that was built in the 1920s to hold passengers in a way that had never been done before...

We’ve all heard the topes involving Edsel. They were ugly, they were a failure, they had a grill that people laughed out of town and were embarrassed...

Stock Eliminator will always be near and dear to my heart as it is the class I grew up with as a kid in Northern California. My dad raced his 68 Z28 Camaro...
