Thoughts after watching American Graffiti.

While I was out of town on a weekend get a way, I attended two automotive events, a Cars and Burgers, on Friday afternoon, and a fairly big car show on Saturday in Sonoma.

Later that Saturday afternoon I watched American Graffiti on DVD. 

I've seen this movie numerous times, but I still enjoy it. But this time I had a different take on it.

 More musical cars,

Around and around they go.

The End of Summer edition.

My Wife took off with a few friends for a multi day Girl's Trip in the Flex. This gave me an empty right half of the driveway.

 Most Hot Rodders are into more than just old cars.

Pat with his '47 Chevy parts car.

Who would have been surprised by that?

Pat Ganahl wrote an editorial on this subject, many years ago in March of 1978, when he was about to take over as the editor of Street Rod magazine.

 More comparison shopping; The 2018 Lincoln  MKZ.

This color really highlights the design.
Asking price is 11,460.00 with 128,000 miles.

What can I say, I like to look at cars.

First off, why couldn't they have given this thing a real name?

Well, it used to be called the Zephyr. 

 More comparison shopping.

The Cadillac name is something that still holds a lot of appeal for me. I've owned several vintage models and a couple of cars that were only a few years old when I purchased them. Vintage models still hold a lot of interest for me, though I know that they are quite large and require a lot of storage space. They are also very old fashioned in their driving dynamics and in their high fuel consumption. But they have that glamorous Fifties and Sixties style which can't be replicated. 

Thinking about automotive a/c Part Two.

This photo was taken during the Navigator re-test.

I had the a/c in my truck flushed and recharged, but I wasn't satisfied that there was a substantial improvement.

I felt that the a/c wasn't cooling enough, before the recharge, but I didn't have a base line measurement to compare it with after the service.

 Maybe I'm really not a car guy, Part Three

Iiit's baaack!

Chewing the same buffalo fat, over and over,... again.

I was at Barnes and Noble and was checking out the magazine racks, though I seldom buy any magazines anymore.

As I was searching the titles, I encountered a guy and we began a conversation about cars.
