    Jeff Perkins, love your arrangement of tools, need to get around to doing that in my new garage when it is built.

    I noticed that also. 👍

     

    That’s a nice Porsche. What year is it? I take it you drive an 18 wheeler? So did my dad. He had a Peterbuilt. Is yours a KW? I can’t recognize the newer ones. 🤷‍♀️

    Forgive me if we’ve had a thread like this before.

     

    I’m curious to hear stories, and see pictures, of cars that had special meaning to you. 

     

    Perhaps it’s the car that started your love affair with the automobile, or the one that got away. Maybe it belonged to a relative, friend, or it was one you owned. Maybe it was one you took someone special on a date in?

     

    It’s always interesting to hear the stories behind the cars, so please share them with us. 

     

    I will be sharing one, but I want to find a picture of a car that I haven’t posted about before. I have been having a hard time going through the boxes of photos I rescued from my dad’s, but it's about time I stop avoiding them. Stay tuned.

    Any modern cars you admire, or aspire to acquire?

    I like lots of modern luxury cars as well as muscle cars. Modern muscle fav of mine is the Challenger R/T. Just a base 5.7 Hemi is enough for me.  SRT, Yes but insurance and temptation to stomp on it, get another speeding ticket I can't justify. The Charger R/T is the same, but better ride. Seats suck, so gotta go for the Daytona or SRT to get the good front seats. I drive a 2010 Genesis sedan for everyday and it really works well for a V6. 300 H.P. with instant throttle response, great handling, brakes, etc. Satisfying, but not truly visceral like you get from driving a 1955 Buick Roadmaster!

    I rented a Charger R/T in Texas. It was faaast! So much fun to drive on the highways where the speed limit is 80.

    I just searched “survey” and found at least two others within the past couple years also. Better to be safe than sorry 

     

    Also you can’t always tell when you’ve been compromised my friends. I’ve had Realtors whose emails have been watched for months and the intruder waits until a closing is coming and redirect the email and tells the borrower to wire the purchase money to the wrong place. It’s a common real estate scheme that’s been around for years. No one ever knows they have been hacked. 

     

    Don't click links from people who have no history here to be safe.

    Car in movie

    Discovery channel wanted to use the retractable for a show about the story behind the cars. I reneged at the last minute, mostly due to advice from here, and I’m glad I did. 

     

    They were going to ship it to and from Hollywood, no pay, I think just a hotel room. I was too concerned the car would be damaged because it has so much sentimental value. (Was my late father’s). I heard after that some cars were damaged because they were basically just props. 

     

    Sounds like some of you have the Hollywood gig down to a science. 👍

    Ford 48 Coupe flathead or 307

    My father was big into flatheads since he was a teen growing up in Michigan. I sold a 50 Shoebox and at least 4 Flathead engines. If you wind up needing Flathead parts, let me know. A young man near Houston bought all the parts and the car and he has rebuilt a couple cars of the era. He has some spare parts.

    Hope y’all have a terrific holiday season. I’ve been so busy at work that it doesn’t feel like Christmas Eve tomorrow. I’m certainly not complaining though. I’m very fortunate to be doing so well so early in my new career. It is thanks to a great network of past clients who are referring clients to me. 

     

    I hope every one of you enjoys time with your families and your cars if you live down south. 🎁🥳
