Pictures & A Family of Cars

MCs At Sunset

Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but they don’t share the complete tale. And, the complete tale might be a bit wordy, so a brief “Reader’s Digest” version…. 1973. The newly-redesigned Monte Carlo was named Motor Trend Car Of The Year … and I was born. Coincidence? Fate? Ironic twist? Three years later my …

Decorating Vehicles

1996_1997_88and79

We see them coming down the road towards us … vehicles decorated for the Holidays. Over the last few years, I’ve seen more cars decorated, more than I remember seeing as a kid. I’m not sure if it is just because I’m NOTICING more now, or if, indeed, more people are decorating their mode of …

From The Road Trip Files: Odd Things Seen

Blue Pinto, Pink Toyota

I’ve seen a lot of things during my road trips since ~2002. But, I hadn’t seen this:   It was Saturday evening, 07/02/2011, in Englewood CO. We (Dave, Mickey and I) had just emerged from a restaurant after a delicious early dinner. As we made our way back to our vehicles, the pink Toyota caught …

Scared by … Convoy?!

Every time I hear “Convoy” by C.W. McCall, I think of a fateful late night on the road between Illinois and Pennsylvania, circa 1978. It probably wasn’t the first time I heard the song; it had, after all, already ascended both the country and pop charts in late 1975 and early 1976, debuting November 29, …

Plate Tales

1979 Caprice Classic license plate

  A “light” topic to kick off the “driving season” … creative license plates spotted along the road of life. While I try to write down what I see, I don’t always succeed. Some of the more memorable ones that I have managed to record: WHAT V 8 … Subaru Outback wagon BMW AT 40 …

Close Encounter Of The Weird Kind

My 1987 Monte Carlo LS/CL

If you’ve ever had an interaction with a stranger that left you scratching your head, you will fully understand the anxiousness I felt after one experience from a few years ago that I’m about to relate. If you haven’t, I hope you NEVER do. It had been a wonderful early November Sunday afternoon of driving …

CHARGING FORTH

2011DC

Friday, March 18, 2011. I finally saw the 2011 Dodge Charger … a “toxic orange” 2011 Dodge Charger … live and in person. I want one. Now. But, the likelihood of me owning one is pretty much zero. You should know, if you don’t already, that I am a Ch#$r%*et fan to the bone, regardless …
