Streets are quiet.. I notice many people were taking their vintage vehicles out.

I could be wrong, but I think around here (Houston/Galveston area) the cops have put speeding tickets at the bottom of their priority list for a while. With so many people at home, I think the need has shifted to patrolling and protecting neighborhoods and empty businesses. And (possibly the more important issue) I think they want to minimize contact with people to lessen their personal risk of infection. Can't say as I blame them.

Well, Steve. It's pretty quiet up here not far from DFW in the Metroplex.  I made a run to Kroger in Colleyville about 2200 hrs because the Lincoln Aviator's door had been left ajar and the battery was dead. Here I thought I'd be safe to park the car in the grocery store parking lot. This is what I walked out to....

Took the Kirkham out today for a serene cruise along the San Diego coastline.

Saw a black 427 Cobra from a distance (no idea if it was a CSX or other type) two black '66 Mustangs...one with some Shelby parts, and a few Brand X classic cars. 

Beautiful day here. There's not a germ or virus on the planet that can catch a 427 Cobra (or even a replica, like mine) at 100+ mph. 

Just having some fun. No disrespect to anyone who feels it's better to not venture outside.

Sounds like fun.
Been doing oil changes and tire spinning myself...

On PCH some days have been looking like a car show.  Everyone it seems is out.  On my day off today I  plan on taking a couple out as well.

Thanks, JD.  No, I was lucky or someone thought this would be funny. Regardless, It was completely inconsiderate.

By the time I get any of my cars out, they may all be "vintage".

Roads are desolate
Great shot of the Shelby view on a wide open road!
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"
