Are you still working on Cars?

Yes.

I had a conversation with my brother on my birthday a couple of weeks ago. He posed that question to me. He has told me that he has read the entire library of my blog. The question is innocuous enough, though the inflection of the voice can give it a different meaning.

Thinking about old Rivieras...again.

The seller is asking 5,000 dollars.

A design analysis.

Why would I want to buy a car that I've already owned? Actually the count so far is up to four; two 1966s,  a 1967, and finally,  a 1971.

I was thinking about Space when I was a kid in grade school, but not in the same way.

Capt. Jean Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) has a Jaguar XJS convertible exactly like mine! I highly doubt that he is as constantly concerned with space as I am. 

I'm talking about the space that are cars  occupy. The real estate.

As well as the unreal estate.

Space is a limited resource like money, time, and energy.

Compromises.

I've been getting out of town a bit since the pandemic has stabilized, at least in my part of the State. But we are still very careful.

Present Day Custom Cars. Are they possible?

These designs are iconic. I've got this early automotive
themed rock boxed CD set.

I was reading Pat Ganahl's blog about modern customs. He used a 1962 Pontiac as an example. Modern? That car is 60 years old. Modern geriatric customs?

 It's always something, the more cars you have the more stuff there is.

Sometimes I feel like I'm buried
at the bottom of that pile!

I reported that I replaced the radiator in the XJ6. 

I'm quite concerned about the up coming smog test.

That seat back there was reserved for the Mother in Law!

In my case, that would be who is often humorously referred to in old car stories as "my long suffering spouse."
