  1. it is a difficult job to crank issue after issue of any magazine, year after year. Two divergent segments of the  auto hobby are always rubbing up against each other. The progressive, younger faction wants articles pertaining to the barely twenty five year old cars that they are interested in while the older members want to read articles relating to brass and nickel era cars. It is a juggling act that I couldn't manage.

    While my interests lie in the older cars, I am pulled into reading articles about the newer cars, thus expanding my knowledge and appreciation of them.

    I always enjoy reading the magazine  and feel a sense of gratitude to the editors and contributors. It is a difficult job. I don't compliment the hard working staff often enough. I wish that there was a way that I could look up from the last page of the current issue and say " Thanks, what a good read". Zeke

    Roundabouts can work very well but can be a real experience while vacationing.

    We're getting a 'Divergent Diamond' interchange to hopefully prevent accidents. Fingers crossed ........

     

    Go to the 42 second marker to begin the show and tell of the new design

    There is one operating in Lexington KY and another planned. The new design is more efficient than the old one but you have to be alert and visualize how it works before you go through it. Also, it would be to your advantage to put your phone down while driving through the intersection. Zeke

    Anyone  ever seen one of these....or driven on one?

  4. Many years ago I attended a seminar on oils delivered by a representative from DX oils at an AACA annual meeting. Something he said has stuck with me for thirty years or more. When talking about off the shelf oil additives he said “The best result you can hope for with an additive is that it does no damage”. He reminded us that motor oil has been developed by chemical engineers and additives have already been added. Whatever you add in addition to the oil hasn’t been accounted for in the oil formulation. It is entirely possible that your additive will not be compatible with,  and in fact counteract the additives in the motor oil. I’m not a chemical engineer. I will leave the oil formulation to someone at a higher pay grade. Zeke
