Her Friends

must really be smokin'.

Seriously, they must be so blazing hot they melt camera lenses, which would explain why we have never seen pictures of them.

I guess we'll just have to make do with second best then.

That Hollow Sound

is me smashing my head against the brick wall otherwise known as Pop.

His new pals both have arrest records, but he assures me that they are "good kids".

I've finalized plans to go put some holes in something. Lord knows I need the distraction.

Something non-organic, that is. No bail required.

yet...

Rule 35

If a car exists, there is a forum for it.

Please Tell Me

why you would buy a convertible and ride around when the sun is shining and it is above 65 degrees with the top up?

Below 65 I can see, it gets kind of chilly especially when the sun starts to sink, but when it's bright and sunny and warm I can't see any sense to it at all.

I didn't pay extra for a drop-top so I could ride around in the shade.

My Smart-Assed Friends

The Heart of Carolina Mustang Club had their 20th annual car show today, and I have to say it went off pretty well.  We were worried that we were going to get rained out, but when we got to the site the sun was shining and the skies, while not exactly clear, were non-threatening.

We had reserved the option to end everything early, but we ended not having to exercise it.  We had a goodly number of cars and everyone seemed to have a good time. The only complaint I heard was that we didn't put a registration deadline on the flyers so when the deadline came at 12 noon we still had a handful of people show up that wanted to be in the show.

There was no judging, instead we opted for a People's Choice sort of thing where everybody got a ballot and voted for the cars of their choice. We had four categories: Best Ford, Best GM, Best Mopar and Best Import. We only had three Mopars show up (two classic Challengers and an Indy 500 truck) but we had a pretty good number of Fords and GM's. We unfortunately had no imports.

When the ballots were counted this happened:

Yep, that's my banana boat, bird droppings on the hood and all. Three of my club mates saw the little Subaru sitting off to the side with a generator running in the back powering the DJ equipment and wrote it in. With no competition (there was one, a Pontiac G8 made by GM subsidiary Holden in Australia, that was disqualified because it was entered as a GM) it won in a landslide (100 percent of the three votes cast).

It's probably a good thing my little Firefly is such a good sport.

No.

Just no.
