Well in light of the crisis mode the country is in, I decided to take my car out for some personal time and burn a few fossils. The streets in the western hemisphere are all but deserted which allowed some spirited driving that has not been seen in decades. As it was a very good time it was very sobering looking around like an APACALYPSE moment. May it return to some resemblance of what we used to call normal. Enjoy your rides and not worry about values too much.

+1 like a fine bottle of wine, smell it, savour it and then slurp it up and enjoy life is short

That's funny Tony- As much as I like a smoke show,  I prefer more forward motion with a haze of smoke trailing behind. :)

That was a $2,000+ burn out. Took the fan, fan shroud, radiator,  belts, motor mount, one ujoint and tore one tire off the rim.

Could have been a lot worse....

I'll bet the interior still smells like victory, however.  Burned rubber is a fine odor, IMO.

Do we need a cologne for men called 'Burnt Rubber'?

I got to hand it to Tony- I have never done a burn out that looked like that, I cant tell if its burning out or blowing up. ;D

Working on the canned vintage air for the concours crowd.

Ince done will start on Burnt Rubber Cologne as THEY will never experience that smell.  It impossible by pushing a car on off a trailer.  Closest smell to THEM would be burnt croissants...lmao !

Took my car car out to possibly dust off some viruses, streets are very empty so are the freeways.A special shoutout to our military on this special holiday remembering their courage,bravery, and the willingness to lay it all on the line. Same can be said for all those front liners helping keep some form of normalcy for the 10s of millions hunkered down hoping we can get some resolution to this world wide problem. Strange when you take your pride and joy for a spin in the middle of a pandemic and a sacred holiday for those that gave all, what thoughts cross your mind. Stay safe, keep your distance from other people and other cars as you pass them like they are tied to a tree stump. Still not finished with it, but at least it moves down the road like a land locked missile. :)
