Mike Shoen's book, "Cobra-Ferrari Wars". Good reading & a lot of great photos.

Here is a good start:

ALL about a few governors in the USA
Andy C for one. NY, NJ, Conn, MA, RI, CA.

I am told that there is a section in Mexico populated by American Confederates that refused to surrender at the end of the Civil War?

They still raise the Confederate flag.

It's probably a good thing to realize that if you look there are still places where you can find similar thinking folks?


I once had a friend who was a clinical physiologist. Downing a couple of beers together, I remember him blurting out, "the most significant opinion you can have is whether you see the glass as half empty or half full? It determines your personality characteristics for life".

I've been advised that I remember too much and I need to let some things go. I try but some of the things I remember don't ever need to be repeated. Forgetting those would be beyond irresponsible?

I have moved several times in the past 20 years. hopefully that is over for a while.

I opened a box that had not been opened since a move from Dallas to Georgetown TX in 2015. I found a brand new issue of Muscle Car Review from 2015 that I never read!

Great to read Tom Shaw's article on the last page which is what I always read first.

I have been reading old SAAC NW, WASAAC and R-Model Scoop newsletters from 10-20 years ago.

Looks like a nice bunch of reading material I missed.  I went up in the attic to look for some Shelby books and found several boxes of the Marque and even a couple of SOA newsletters, should be enjoyable rereading those. Some of the "For Sale Ads" are amazing in this and the Snake Bites listings
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

"Never Stop Driving - a Better Life Behind the Wheel".  Outstanding book that really breaks down why we (both young and old) truly love these classics.  There are sections written by Jay Leno, Patrick Dempsey, Mario Andretti, and the like.

I highly recommend!
Nothing beats a classic!

Recently read Biggest Brother, about the life of Dick Winters, who lead the WWII Band of Brothers.
Finished the Jimmy Stewart story about his time in WWII.
Working my way through the Craig Johnson novels, aka the Walt Longmire Mysterys.
