  2. Been w RockAuto long enough to remember them shipping me lots of different suppliers parts in one larger box. One price shipping as I recall. RA was a bargain to begin with, but as we antiquers know time tells all. Recently, my last multiple order a handful of suppliers shipping fees are now being pass on to the customers? The idea that RA can manipulate shipping fees (unknown at purchase) for profit bothers me. and Early on with RA you could ask inquisitive questions and the RA phone rep would look things up. By eliminating that source and relying on a sales rep's info has been RA's basic failure for us common users. As it was such a business loss for RA, thru incorrect suppliers applications/uses, that now returns are refused RA shipping. That's right gentlemen, bad part, wrong part, non-fitting part. You eat the shipping fees on their mistakes. Sure I'll use RA if there is no other choice, but with the internet giving me 10,000 options, well, I'm in the drivers seat.
  3. sadly the 85 was sold to young drag racer, in no. fl. who no doubt has transplanted something akin to moon rocket motor by now. in shopping for this engine replacement I endeavored to know much more about rotary engines than I ever wanted to know. the import owner has since bought a 98 TopLess Corvette. Now I learn about "waterfall"-it's a part.
  4. Gimme a break snowbirds, If you can't jump into your antique and go for a ride any day of the year like here in Florida your state is a loser. How 'bout we post pictures of how much fun you and your prized car are having on the road in January?
  5. Greetings from South Florida, I'm a AACA Newbee to the Ft Lauderdale Region. I believe I represent the Next Generation of your AACA, however, I'm far from being a millennial, really far. My 436,000 mile car has been my Daily Driver, until I retired. On the weekends it was our SCCA sprint car or the ride to be a race official at SCCA, IMSA, INDY CAR, CART and American Motorcycle Assn local races. My gift to our Supercharged Model MR2 on it's 30th birthdate was a antique license. I'm proud to be the only oriental car in our region. And apparently our Toyota Road Rocket is the only racecar to regularly exhibit at any local car cruise or show.
  6. Sample McDougald House Antique Car Show 450 NE 10th St, Pompano Beach, FL 33060 Saturday, January 12th The Ft Lauderdale AACA continued its’ traditional annual gathering of only our older cars at one of only a few antique homes in the area that serves as a museum in the Ft Lauderdale vicinity. This 1916 home is now in found in Centennial Park, which is in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, and maintained by Pompano Beach. Many local residents act as volunteer guides on tours of the home during visiting and tour hours. Our support event started with some slight drizzle but later turned into just a perfect South Florida day for car showing. Next to the Boca Concourse, this event draws many our clubs older and prestigious antiques. The show consists of an east and a west show field. Generally the much “older” cars are poised in the east show field and the “newer” antiques are shown on the west field. Of course, we have a DJ, and usually at least one food truck to keep us going. There’s always a good turnout of supporting local car enthusiasts and those local who share pride in their local museum. kudos to gordon for our pics
  7. AN ICE CREAM SOCIAL FOR THE MEMBERS ONLY OF THE FT LAUDERDALE AACA MAY HAVE BEEN A 1ST FOR THIS CLUB. I'M NOT TOO SURE CAUSE I'M THE CLUB NEWBEE, BUT NONE THE LESS ENTHUSIASTIC HOWEVER. THE LADIES SEEMED TO ENJOY THE OUTING AS IT WAS NOT JUST A CAR-GUY THING BUT A CHANCE FOR THE LADIES OF THE CLUB TO GATHER UNDER THE SHADE ON THE OUTSIDE TABLES OR INSIDE ON THE MANY TABLES (WITH AC!!). THANKS TO GORDON FOR THE PICS,
  8. “FOUNDER’S DAY 2019” COOPER CITY FL CAR SHOW FT. LAUDERALE AACA OUR FRIENDLY FLAACA REGION CONTINUED OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COOPER CITY RECREATION GROUP BY ORGANIZING THE 2019 FOUNDER’S DAY CAR SHOW. THIS YEAR THE REGION SUPPLIED VEHICLES FOR THE FOUNDER’S DAY PARADE WHICH ALSO GAVE GOOD REGION EXPOSURE TO THE PUBLIC. THE CAR SHOW WAS ONE OF THE MOST ATTENDED SHOWS IN RECENT MEMORIES AT THE BRIAN PICCOLO FACILITY, PERHAPS DUE TO OUR SHOW BEING MOVED CLOSER TO THE OTHER EVENTS IN THE PARK. OR PERHAPS, THIS SHOW WAS AN OPEN CAR SHOW WITH NO AGE RESTRICTIONS ON THE VEHICLES SOAS TO INCLUDE AS MANY COOPER CITY LOCALS AS POSSIBLE. A LOCAL MILITARY RESTORATION VEHICLE GROUP ALSO DISPLAYED THEIR VARIOUS LARGE, SMALL AND HISTORICALLY CORRECT VEHICLES WHICH MANY VETERANS COULD NOT HELP BUT REMINSENCE OVER. BEST OF SHOW 1964 CHEVY IMPALA.

  11. Our Ft Lauderdale Region was invited to display our members 25+ year old antiques in the heart of Ft Lauderdale. There were both wine and craft beer vendors dispensing products to the thousands of those who bought a plastic bracelet. Accordingly, their seemed to be some member reluctance to display vehicles in the center of the street, which was the idea of the promoter. Many of our region’s members preferred to display their cars in the more “controlled” and somewhat hidden parking lot behind the bandstand, which also afforded a more centralized social environment (which many of our older members look forward to.) None the less, the event was a rousing success with the region getting widespread inner-city exposure. The voting for Best of Show was done by the visitors to the event. The vehicle taking the “Beer&Wine” d-i-y trophy, made by our dedicated Event Chairman, was the tiny front-door BMW Isetta.
  12. Well I'm on my way to a AACA 24-B (racecar) form submittal to begin the certification process to show my car at a big time AACA event. Unfortunately, Steve Moscowitz was kind enough to inform me that my initial request to obtain racecar certification was mistaken by an employee as a Membership Renewal and could/may have been deposited in a "round file" as we vets used to call it. As a Army veteran I am familiar with administrative faux pas, they were a constant for us Viet Nam era guys. I'm kinda bummed I won't be able to get paperwork done for the "Winter Meet" up there in the Ocala/Tampa, but there are worse things I guess. I'd like to attend to attend a Miami AACA event which I was rejected from appearing in last year. How could they reject a car certified by National? In looking over the 24-B form I have to figure out what a "Year of Documentation" photo consists of for this racecar classification sendoff. ?? Can't wait to my see my white Toyota Road Rocket out there in some muddy field somewhere with a cache of other racecars. Here in South Florida I'm always showing with American muscle cars, or the shiny AACA antiques and the like. Tim Nusbaum aka Mister2 Tim SupercharZed ToyZ RacZing Boca Raton, FL
  13. The Fort Lauderdale Region AACA The 9th annual Toys for Tots Although 2018 was #9 in the FLAACA series to support the efforts of the United States Marines in the South Florida Christmas gifting of children, it’s never an event on cruise control by any means. As with the Boca Raton concourse gala, the kickoff is to meet with Rick Case, our main sponsor to secure a date for use of his expansive KIA dealership “outside” paved parking facility. Then the FLAACA event Chairman Jim Wright starts the months long sojourn seeking the door prizes and giveaways that marked this charity event as a pre-Christmas soirée for the all the attendees. And by “all attendees” that means anyone who wants to support Toys for Tots, not just AACA members.. You see our region supports the local car culture not just for us region members but for all of South Florida, all the time. It is also our way of introducing our AACA to the older car owners who want to proudly show their old, or newer, automobiles. I should know, as I was an attendee of the monthly car cruises way before my car suddenly turned into an AACA antique. The weather was better than fine, as we had overcast “shade” most of the day. The local weatherman forecasted 50% chance of rain, but we don’t believe them much, till it starts to rain. And so, the Marines walked away happy with 2 very large cardboard boxes of Christmas toys. The FLAACA members had another great social gathering. Local car owners all walked away with memento trophies to remember their day. And of course, Mr. Rick Case walked away with a hard earned trophy for his stunning, immaculate, beautiful and concourse level “1914 CASE” antique automobile.
