Default Re: Happy 40th birthday!

Steve,
I wonder if it gets more "cranky" like the rest of us do as we get older? Make sure you say something nice to it before you turn the key the next time
And don't try to get it moving too early in the morning.....

Default Lordy Lordy! My car is 40

I think "curmudgeonly" is the more accurate term...just like its owner.

She seems to be snoozing happily while I work on the Poncho in the next stall. Though, I think she kinda looks down on those post-1970, low-compression, GM cars.

She's one hauntingly possessed Diva.

Default Out of hibernation!

Took "The Diva" out for the first run of the year. Had both kids in the car. My daughter had just seen American Graffiti in her film class in high school and astonishingly wanted me to rev the engine and do a burn out from every stoplight.

Seemed like everybody had the same idea today. As I pulled onto the main road I saw a beautiful, black 1969 GTO ragtop cruise by, and a few minutes later a green 1968 Mustang GTA 390.

Now that she's been educationally "enlightened" by her elitist film class experience, it now seems she's really into cars (finally).

I had my Camaro out on Friday for the first time in a few months and I saw a dozen or so other 'play' cars out there too. Down to the 76 in Auburn for some pump 101 (Trick) and then an hour of freeway-highway-town cruising. Spring is here!

Default Back into hibernation!

Jeez, I just realized that the only time this car was on the road this entire year was that one drive back in March. I've been spending so much time on the T/A I forgot I had this car. Started her up to get the Stabil fuel stabilizer through the fuel system today, just in time to put her to bed for the winter.

Default The red Hemi Charger saga continues...

Yup, that was me and &quot;the other woman&quot; at Musclepalooza 2007. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

I think she won best Mopar or Dodge or best red 70 charger driven by a crabby old guy in a cowboy hat? There were a lot of awesome cars there that year.

Here's a youtube link from that show, with the car sounding angry:

and again at the 2:20 time on this one:

You can also see some other guys' cars from this site on the videos.
