Sometimes the "Old Car Gods" smile on you.

Kickin' it on Olympus.

Ol' Zeus probably had other things on his mind, when I was messing with my Jaguars! Nothing was ever easy with those cars!

 More rambling thoughts about Rivieras.

What was the reasoning behind my latest purchase?

"Who has never wanted to own a "10,000 dollar" car? Or at least some kind of special car?"

 I spent the entire day rearranging the garage so that I could park my new Riviera inside.

Under the cover, my '06 Mustang looks
absolutely huge from this angle.

My '96 Mustang had to go, and it will not be returning. It's former position will now be taken up by the '06 Mustang. The '96 will sit behind my truck at the curb, under a car cover, this will make it more convenient to take to events. 

 I went to the wrecking yard Today.

Rancho Cordova. I just happened to be in the neighborhood.

I hadn't done any serious wrecking yard scrounging since I was looking for the smart junction box for my Daughter's Mustang. I have the feeling that I'm going to be spending a lot more time in places like this. The entry price has only gone up a buck to 3.00, not too bad.

 Meet my "new" '97 Riviera.

In the CL listing, the color was identified as "brown." ???

 My truck just passed it's latest milepost,

Photo taken  several years ago on a trip to
the Oregon coast.

It just completed 170,000 miles. I bought it brand new in 2007.
