  1. I hope to drive one of yours with your credit card. I am sure you can not wait for that. See you soon.
  2. I subscribe to the digital versions of all of them.. I can look at them anytime I want. For me I like the convenience and no waste paper,
  3. Ed, Those were great photos, and it looks like a great show. See you at national convention.
  4. Here in NJ, I have a friend/neighbor who just put a new gas tank in his 1986 Mustang. He stores it in his house garage which is unheated. The question is should he put ethanol free gas in it for the winter or leave it empty until spring. The question is which is worse for moisture. It runs and drives, but just got it done prior to it getting close to winter. It is supposed to be a closed system with the original emissions intact. Thanks for your input.
  5. Kerry, Lucky for you they were for her not you. They might still be outside.
  6. We did this as part of Piqua, OH tour. Great place.
  7. I own a 66 Mustang coupe and 57 Belair. When i drive the Mustang down the road or it is parked, people always wave and honk or ask about it. When I have the 57 Chevy, the attention I receive makes the Mustang seem like a Yugo with a lot of rust. Interesting to see the difference between the two.
  8. In NJ it is still in the Driver's Manual. I frequently use them from my cars. I find that most of the cars back off when I do it but ignore my built in turn signals or I use both. Another thing is that I have put the LED bubs in some of my cars (all post WWII) which helps quite a bit.
  9. The Newport Mansions Virtual Lecture Series has released the video of The Advent of the Automobile on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9LFNBiTtGo This is just one of a series on the “Gilded Age” they have. I have just started watching it but find it very interesting. Following is a description of it from their Facebook page: Presenters are: Howard Kroplick, Historian and Author, Madelyn Rzadkowolski, Curator, Meadow Brook Hall, and Robert Signom III, Curator, America’s Packard Museum. The Gilded Age saw the advent of the automobile along with the rise of industrial giants, international road racing, and heightened standards of luxury. Three expert panelists will discuss the excitement of the burgeoning automobile industries from Detroit to Newport. Historian and Author Howard Kroplick will relay stories of William K. Vanderbilt Jr. racing in Newport and the prestigious Vanderbilt Cup Race held on Long Island, and will show rare racing films. Madelyn Rzadkowolski, Curator at Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester, Michigan, will share stories of the Dodge brothers and early car shows. Robert Signom III, Curator of America’s Packard Museum, will reveal the heated exchanges that resulted in the creation of the Ohio Automobile Company.
  10. What you do not realize is how large some of those trucks are, until you see a person next to them.
