That could be why..... if you are the only car out there but still I am of the general belief that anyone can drive 83 mph anywhere. I believe it so strongly I stopped even carrying a radar detector many years ago. I'm sure I'd be over 90 out there or at least testing it.

And they're here today. They spent a bit of time eating at the neighbor's arborvitae that are down. Probably a treat under the conditions...



Just checking out the houses.. What's for dinner?


We've collected a number of "faces" that hang on our fence. Don't bother to bring them in during winter.

Cool photos, Gary. We get wild turkeys across the way, no deer.

Patricia, you are a car cleaning fool! Looks great!

The new detailing products are great, except when you have some repainted areas that are just a slight shade different. They magnify the difference. Patricia you do nice work.

Why thank you, Dave. I do enjoy making a vehicle shiny and protected. When I was 16 years-old, I used to wash and wax my dad's truck in the driveway. I got hooked on it. He had a 1957 or 1958 black and white Corvette. I used to sleep in the passenger seat on short drives, as a tot. The shifting must have gotten under my skin. Good old dad, with all his flaws. Loved him the most.

Yeah, he loved it but then sold it. When he was 65 years-old he bought a new 1992 red NSX. He really loved that car!

I once owned a beautiful Honduras Maroon ’62 corvette, which is to this day my favorite car. It's liking is closely followed by a 57 and 58 Corvette. The 63- 67 Stingrays are nice but fall short of my likes. Forget any styling likes beyond a ’67.
