Taking a look at what the Navigator might need.

Nice and new from Amazon.

I've already covered the cosmetic work that I did on the Navigator, repainting the front bumper being the primary thing.

 This why I shouldn't be scanning the for sale ads on the AACA website.

I often find something that I would really like to own. 

Sometimes the price is low enough that I can swing it. Barely.

Other times it's more than I can handle without a major reorganization of my hobby car fund. 

 Every once in a while, I still think about riding motorcycles.

This beautiful '64 Sportser is selling for 14,000 dollars.

Again.

I rode motorcycles for a very long time, around forty years, and I rode a lot. Not just on weekends, puttin' around town. I rode every day, through all kinds of weather, and on many long trips. 

 Why do many old car guys think that only really old cars can be the vessels of our fondest memories?

Does it require sepia tones to be authentic history?

Black and white toned scenes float by in our memories. But how many of us were born in the era before color photography? How many of us have grown up in the digital age, where images are rarely, if ever, consigned to hard copies? 

 My '06 Mustang GT personalization post was well received.

This is the before shot.

I saw pageview numbers that I haven't seen in a long time.

I had tacked on an addendum to that post that stated that I had installed the spoiler and was pleased. That is true, but I forgot that I had taken a few photos of the process.

 Personalizing my '06 Mustang.

The spoiler is on it's way, and should look something like this.

My Mustang had a few minor mods done to it before I bought it.

They were mechanical changes like the open air intake and the Magna Flow mufflers.

 Every month I'll take a trip to the Barnes and Noble book store in West San Jose.

They have been cutting down on the number of their locations.

Like the defunct Fry's Electronics stores, they have a large wall of periodicals, which feature quite a few automotive titles.
