Legends of the Fall: Part Two

Let's take a quick look at an even bigger Legend. The fearsome Nissan Skyline. This car earned it's laurels as a serious high performance car. I am only somewhat familiar with the story of these cars. What attracted me to them is their very aggressive appearance.

Sometimes you just have to do the work; Fixing my truck's seat.

 I spend a lot of time on this blog writing about my musings and ramblings...

The seat looks bad enough in this photo.
But that was taken over two years ago!

But sometimes, you just have to stop talking and do the work!

 When one of your "new" cars is no longer new.

I fell in love with this truck on the first test drive.
Nineteen years later that hasn't changed.

It's kind of a state of mind thing. Especially if you bought the vehicle brand new, and have held onto to it for a long time and a lot of miles. You always knew that it wasn't new anymore, (how could it be after 19 years?) but I can't help but think about it as one of my "new vehicles."

I wonder why?

There is a car that I found very impressive and appealing when it was introduced back in the 1990's

 More photos from the Niles Spring Fever car show.

Here's another photo of Rick's car. Forties are hot rod icons,
and it's easy to see why.

I just got home from my vacation after two days of driving. You might say that I'm taking the easy way out to constructing an entry, by simply posting pictures. That's sort of true, though I did work on some new posts while I was out of town.

 Rosebud.

If you have ever watched the movie Citizen Kane, you will remember his final dying words. He is in bed holding onto a snow globe, which falls out of his hands as he mutters the word, "Rosebud." Then he expires.

 Last weekend I actually participated in a car show!

Popcorn. We'll come back to this later.

The show was the Spring Fever car show, held in the Niles section of Fremont. It's a historic downtown type area that closes off several streets to allow the cars to be displayed.
