  1. Fire Engines are a lot of fun. Everybody at a car show wants to see the fire truck.
  2. "In the style of" usually used on Full Classics that are not real. "Good for the age" means it is going to need a full restoration. "Museum Quality" means absolutely nothing. "Concours Quality" means absolutely nothing, I have stood next to cars a Concours D'Elegance that need complete restorations. "Adult Owned" usually used to describe heavily abused performance cars. "Jay Leno is going to buy it if you don't" used by sellers with no chance of pawning their mess off on anybody. "Man its cool" used by brokers who have no idea what else to say because they were selling atv's or used boats last week and just got in the "game". "They all did that" used to explain away obvious mechanical problems by someone hoping that you are more stupid than them.
  3. The amount of time somebody has done something has nothing to do with how well they do it. I was on a construction project once and a dump truck driver backed onto the site in the wrong place. Several people were trying to stop him, and he ignored them all. The driver promptly became stuck in the soft ground we were all trying to keep him off. Once he was completely stuck the driver climbed out and looked at the mess. I asked him where he learned to drive. He replied, "I have been driving dump trucks for 25 years". Without skipping a beat my friend replied, "Well you have been doing it wrong for 25years".

  5. Most auction company's terms state that all information comes from the seller. They go on to say anything that the auction company says, prints, or dose means nothing and is just for entertainment. Furthermore, it is the sole responsibility of the bidder to inspect the item being sold and form their own opinion.
  6. Most of the problem is that they just do not care.
  7. Hard to go wrong with a Cadillac. Details at www.petersmotorcars.com
  8. It is a good idea to inspect all "new" parts and compare them to the old part you are replacing. Never trust a new part. Dale Earnhardt lost the Daytona 500 once because of an inexpensive part failure. After that every "new" part that was purchased by his race shop was inspected and tested before use.
  9. Twenty years ago, I drove a 1932 Ford Roadster from Ohio to California and back. A friend and I went to the L.A. Roadster's Show. Everybody should take a trip like that at least once.
  10. Ouch! I feel your pain. Many years ago, I had a 1936 Ford Deluxe 5-Window Coupe at a show. I happened to look over and a woman was sitting in my rumble seat. I calmly walked over and asked her if I could help her. She announced she wanted to buy this car. I said that's great and told her my asking price. She got a look of panic on her face and said this car shouldn't cost over $10,000 dollars. To which I replied get out of the rumble seat without hurting my car. I made her take off her high heels to get out. The good lord only knows how she got in with them on and didn't ruin my seat. Some people have no respect for other people or their possessions.
  11. The problem with websites and magazines is once you have one it needs to be filled with articles. Collect what you like, not what someone who is not you tells you to collect.
  12. Last night was a good evening for a ride in the country:
  13. Outstanding! I had a MARC of Excellence winner at the local sports bar for dinner last night.
