As mentioned previously, the AACA allows some latitude regarding period-correct modifications in the DPW class and on tours. This allows people to enjoy the AACA experience without the need to have a 375-point car or an HPOF vehicle. Elitists who harass vehicle owners for their non-authentic components simply drive members away. And when they're gone, so are their dues and future contributions to the organization. To me, this hobby is about the people I meet. The cars just bring us together.

No mag wheels on the show field? Does this mean my fuzzy dice have to go too? What about the stuffed cat on the back deck, whose eyes light up when I step on the brake?

I have two new front hubs and two new ball joints for sale. I bought them a couple of years ago but sold the TC before I got them installed. $100 for all, plus shipping. Send me a PM if interested.

Congratulations Terry! This hobby of ours will keep you as busy as you will ever want to be. Enjoy your retirement.

I have decided to pass the Overland along to a new owner. It is currently listed on Ebay, item number 253877390750. Please PM me with any questions.

Fun little cars. Don't pay any attention to the people who turn their nose up at the rubber bumpers. They're still a blast to drive. Aftermarket carbs, headers, etc are available to correct the problems that were inherent to the MGBs when they were new.

Of course you'll want to get a weight-distribution hitch before you tow it loaded.

Where I come from, a "padidal" is a car with one headlight burned out.

I remember riding with my parents when we came up on an Edsel. At first glance, I thought it was going backwards.

Although not as functional as west coast mirrors, the small black round rear view mirrors are correct for the Rampside. If you are going for your HPOF, you should not replace the mirrors.

If it tries to start but doesn't I'd suspect a fuel problem. Is your fuel pump delivering enough gas to keep the engine running?

1960 was the year of the American compact. Who built the best? Who built the worst?

1957 was an iconic year for automobile designs. I wonder why the '57 styling clicked so well for the big three?

Speaking of haggling, I'm curious to know how many new car dealers have adopted the "take it or leave it" philosophy that has been established by Carmax (and previously by Saturn). Personally, I like that style of selling. If I agree with the price, I'll take it. If I don't agree with the price, I'll keep looking. A good deal is a state of mind.

Ralph who???
