Mustang Sally, guess you better slow your Mustang down…
(She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now)
Get a grip on my boy racer roll bar, such a thrill when your radials squeal!
Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends…
Went to the rather small but lots of fun car show in Mattituck, NY today by myself and had a real blast.
Now I must say that I think my car is the absolute best for me, but I love cars. Especially older sports cars. Though I haven’t been able to exactly afford one. Doesn’t matter. So I must pay homage to my 2009 MX 5 PRHT 6 speed before I move on to a few pictures from the show.
Many American Classic Cars.
T birds, Road Runners, GTO’s, ‘Cudas, Corvettes, Firebirds and the older Model A/B Rumble Seats (I don’t know very much about the different models of 1930’s cars). So much fun to look at!
Of course there were Mustangs…
Oh, oh, oh my God the Shelby Cobra was beautiful… as was of course the Dodge Viper. Bless Carroll Shelby. Bless him. Bless him…
(Does anyone have a spare Dodge Viper hanging around their garage… No? How about a ‘64 Mustang or a ‘56 Corvette? Yea, I know the answer to that…)
When I was in high school many years ago, I wasn’t permitted to take Auto Shop… no, us girls had to take “Home Economics” (something I’m still uninterested in and lousy at). Of course now things are different in that respect. Wish my husband’s father had been around that I could have learned more and helped him with backyard car projects but he lost his dad when he was around 19. I only met him briefly a few times but from all accounts he was a terrific auto mechanic by trade.
Unfortunately my cell phone powered down on me and didn’t save the last few pictures I took and then died all together (I really need to break down and order a new one) : (
I love to look at the engines. More precisely how they’ve been restored or modified. The older purer cars had beautiful simple engines. I had a Chevy Nova sedan straight 6 that was a delight in it’s straight forward-ness to work on. Not like today where you can’t even get to the oil filter without disassembling half the car or having a lift… and that’s not mentioning all the computer chip s**t. Ah well, eh?
I even had a push button automatic 1960 (or 62 can’t remember) AMC Rambler complete with sweet tail fins… Now I wish I still had that one but alas it threw a rod. I needed a car and got the Nova. Always wondered what happened to the Rambler, body was nice. I hope someone out there restored it.
Sadly though I’m not a big fuzzy dice fan.
Lots and lots of fuzzy dice there in many different sizes and colors.
They scare me a little when so many are in one place at the same time because I believe the fuzzy dice are like those critters from Star Trek that proliferated out of control in the “Trouble with Tribbles” episode. Ha.
G’night all,
I’m going to go to bed and dream of cars for sure tonight.
