Speaking of psychopath... have you ever run hwy 89 in the fall? The trees are putting on a great show in PA, but 89 is one of the best shows around

It's FRIDAY!

Let the car stuff begin. Yeah, I have a one track mind.

Well it is done, the Yukon & Crossfire are gone & the Altima is home. Now we will soon turn in the Criuse as the mileage on the lease is almost up. Then we will have gone from 6 cars in the driveway/garage with lower payments, less insurance & no need to buy new tires for both the Yukon & Crossfire. Then there will be less playing musical cars when we need to change what we are driving or want to get one/both of the Camaros out of the garage. And instead of me choosing between driving the Crossfire which is strictly a fair weather car or the Sierra this winter I will have a brand new car that will be good in all weather & get much better gas mileage. It was the last coupe or sale in this area and they are not going to make the coupe anymore. I just don't like the look of the 4 door. We got a pretty good deal overall.

It was dark when we got home but here it is (better pics tomorrow):

Am I too young (51) to be an "Old Fart" with a "Young Car"?

Congrats on the new Altima. I know how much of a pain musical cars can be.

You'll fit right in. Welcome!

Went to a cruise tonight. It was in the low 70's and the top was down. We just love driving across the Carefree Hwy over to the cruise in North Scottsdale. Not many cars there, so I did not take pics. One of the crew just came from Van's Chevrolet with a brand new red 2014 Corvette. Very neat car! They look better in person.

Welcome aboard Bowtie-Bri! This is a great place to hang out.
It is really cold again here this morning. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!! Old man winter is impatient. We have to head back to the dealership this morning to finish up some things then a bit of shopping. Tomorrow, we will visit my dad and Mike's parents. Mike's Brother is going to grill out steaks and there will be enough food to feed an army.

Welcome aboard that is a beautiful Camaro. Congrats on the new ride Janice. It's a cold morning here at the campground. I had a minor mishap pulling in the site in the dark last night. I did not see the large tire rim they had set up as a fire ring and ran over it with the trailer. It got wedged between my tires. I had to use my 3 ton floor jack to remove one of the tires so I could free it. Luckily I was going slow when I hit it so there was no damage. I hate setting up in the dark but all is good now. We will be heading off to the wineries soon. Have a good day all.

Thanks for the welcome guys and thanks for the kind words regarding my car.


It took me quite awhile before I finally decided to convert to "New School" muscle. I've had 4 different 70 Chevelle's over a 26 year span, one of them was a 70 LS-6 that I bought as a basket case and took over 3 years to put together.
That one was sold to a guy back in 2004. It went down to Naples Florida. So if anyone here lives in that area and sees one that's red on red with black stripes, it might be my old car.
I was getting tired of working on them, decided to sell and go with something I could get in and drive.
Enough of my rambling, you guys have a great day.
By the way it's 52 here in West Michigan and partly sunny. I'd say fall is here and winter isn't far behind.

Welcome, Bri... I was in Battle creek this morning, the trees are putting on a GREAT show this year!

+1 classics can be a PITA

Welcome. Seeing that old Nickey Chevrolet logo brings back a lot of memories of many trips to the North side of Chicago, visiting the original Nickey (with the "backward K" as there ads always emphasized) dealership. They had a whole section devoted to "speed parts" my friends and I would drool over. This was in the 1966/67 time frame. Growing up in Chicago, vacations were always close and we use to vacation some years in Whitehall, MI. A lot of great memories there too. Is that where you are or near??

Well the deal is completed. The Crossfire & Yukon are gone & I have a new daily driver. Here are a couple more pics. I will put a thread in the other cars sectiopn with more pics & come back & post a link. When we turn in the Cruze we will be down to the 2 Camaros & Boulevard in the garage & the Sierra & Altima under the Carport. Much more reasonable.
