Just picked up a DVD of Ford v Ferrari.  No need for me to be out driving.  Enjoy the day. 8)

These are the "show" wheels and tires - chromed aluminum daisies with bias ply Goodyears. Look great, ride like crap and zero traction. F60-15's on the front and L60-15's on the rear.


I later bought John's set of "magnesium" daisy wheels with BFG T/A radials. Only they weren't magnesium, they were polished aluminum one piece wheels and the tires were dry rotted. When I told him,he kindly offered to reprice them at whatever I thought they were worth, which I did and all is good. I put a set of Cooper Cobras on them and they ride a lot better than the bias ply tires but still don't have enough stickiness for the Boss 351. 235/60-R15's but when I wear out the rears I'm putting something wider on the back.

Celebrating with a green Shelby!


I actually like those wheels better then the 10 spokes. I seem to remember John saying something about magnesium 200s wheels but I didn't pay attention to the details.

Okay, March 17 is  done.  Is eggnog good for Easter instead of hard boiled dyed eggs from all over the yard?  Never mind.  I'll wait until Cinco de Mayo and deal with some Don Julio 1942.  Corona is out for obvious reasons this year. 8)

In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has taken on a significance beyond that in Mexico. More popularly celebrated in the United States than Mexico, the date has become associated with the celebration of Mexican-American culture. These celebrations began in California, where they have been observed annually since 1863.

The day gained nationwide popularity in the 1980s thanks especially to advertising campaigns by beer and wine companies.

Today, Cinco de Mayo generates beer sales on par with the Super Bowl.
