 Lately I've been finding myself browsing the forums of the AACA.


Their new logo is much snazzier and appealing than their old one. 


That's the Antique Automobile Club of America.

 Rust - again.


This centuries old painting was destroyed
by a well intentioned amateur attempt to restore it. 


The best of intentions can lead to tragic results without the required resources and skill. Just like the tragic tale of this painting from a Spanish church that made international news.

 That don't impress me much!



You're one of those guys that likes to shine his machine

You'll make me take my shoes off before you let me get in

I can't believe that you kiss your car goodnight

Now c'mon, baby, tell me- you must be joking, right?

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something special

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, ...so you've got a car.

That don't impress me much!

So sang Shania Twain back in the Nineties.

 I found the nuts, but lost my carb parts. 


This is after I sprayed down the moving parts.

I had ordered the part to replace the broken needle/jet seat as well as some rebuild gaskets. Again, I put them somewhere that I was certain that I'd never forget, or I'd recall that clever connection.  NOT!
