The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia can be rented for events. It has what is arguably the best collection of old sports/racing cars in the USA , including Porsches, Ferraris, Alfas, a Cobra Daytona Coupe, Ford GT40s, etc.. For hard core car people, that’s the best wedding venue that I know of.

I remember this broadcast. They did not cover the full 24 hours live, so you can to call that 1-900 number (on screen at 8:15 into this clip) and pay 95 cents to get an overnight update. I decided to call it, just for laughs. Bob Varsha’s recorded update said it the race was turning into “a Mercedes-Benefit”, since…

Sounds believable about his kids

That’s not the first time I’ve heard that about Kay Bailey Hutchison.

She was in the “Up With People” whitebread musical revue in her early career.

Access to birth control no doubt helps, but could it also be that teens today are less fertile due to environmental / lifestyle issues? Such as endocrine disrupters, obesity, etc,

If it smells so awful, how is it used in making perfume?

Didn’t the cast of “I Love Lucy” drive to California in a Pontiac like this?

When people bring their dogs to political rallies, they’re not bringing their best.

If you look at the policy substance of some of the things he says (universal healthcare, “Bush lied...”, PP does some good things, etc.) Trump is actually pretty moderate. His style and rhetoric, of course, tend to obscure that, as do his remarks in immigration.

I can remember when both the Simca/Talbot/Dodge/Plymouth Horizon/Omni and Ford Escort were announced in the late 1970's. I was hoping they’d carry over those Euro designs unchanged, but instead Detroit fattened them up and softened them and made them bulbous and ugly and mediciore compared to the European cousins. It…

I had a 4th gen Civic DX hatch like that. Very faithful and reliable, I miss it

My mother had one - You DON’T want one, believe me

There was a pretty good biography of Wendell Scott published a couple of years ago. Worth reading for the full story:

There’s been a lot of attention to the criminal case against this kid, but what about civil liability?

I have to agree with you - I like that Sebring 1969 race because of the Ford vs Porsche vs Lola vs Ferrari battle. I was a big fan of the JW Gulf GT40s, and it was always great to see them beat bigger teams (specifically Porsche), Wyer was such a smart and resourceful team manager.

Thanks for the link to that Sebring film! I have seen that one on Youtube also, it’s one of my favorite old race films. I have a 1/43 model of the Sunoco Lola Daytona winner somewhere. I have not heard of that Sears documentary you mention. Maybe it will re-surface some day. I continue to be amazed at some of the old…

This car had a colorful history, there do seem to be a couple of automotive urban legends and msiniformation about it, so it’s easy to be misled.
