    Thanks for the kind words guys, and especially Roger. BTW, I don't talk about it much nowadays, but I sold the '36 roadster three years ago. Last month I sold all three of the old cars I had, the 32 sedan and roadster, and a nice 40 coupe I had. Got okay money in today's world, but nothing like what silly people claim stuff should sell for. I'm living what I say because I watch and learn. For the first time in a looooonnnng time I have no hot rods, but it's what needed to be done in our case. I'm not dyin', just finally used up all my enthusiasm for these things.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I'm not much of a Vette guy Ken, but do have a 2017 Mustang GT Convertible for similar distractions. And if I do kick the bucket all of a sudden the bride knows better how to deal with that car than the others.
