And, to maybe make it all a little bit better.... the landing legs on the Falcon boosters are built by Dan Gurney’s AAR shop in Santa Ana, Ca. Same place all of those wonderful Eagle race cars came from. So the Falcon lands with Eagle legs!

All the Jalops need to get together and buy land in some godforsaken corner of some empty western state (Montana or Wyoming maybe.) Then make it their official residence and register to vote etc. Become the majority in the county. Then make sure you vote fellow Jalops into the elected offices so they can make the…

Huh, so my ‘90 M3 with rust holes at the base of the windshield and 196K miles might be worth more than a double-double with fires and a shake at In-n-Out? That’s good to know. Who needs Bitcoin.

Tried to upload photo, failed miserably......

Reader contribution? OK, I’m in......

Ahh, back in the days when IMSA was known as the International Marijuana Smugglers Association. Along with the Whittingtons lets not forget John Paul Sr. (and Jr. though it was mainly Sr.) and Randy Lanier. Lanier just got out of prison after getting parole for a life sentence for smuggling grass and Paul Sr. has…

I had a ‘71 wagon in the late ‘70s. Put on Corvair steel wheels with Pirelli CN36s. KYB gas shocks, aircraft landing lights in the high beams, and a Momo Jackie Ickx steering wheel. My buddies slalom 510 got wrecked and I bought the engine out of it so I had an L16 with a head reworked by the guys at Electramotive…

I went last year. Loved it! I describe it to my non-car oriented friends as the Renaissance Faire for gearheads.

This was in a barn that burned down and bulldozed into a pile. Later completely restored. Anything is possible. BTW, it’s a pre-war Alfa 8C.

I’ve been shooting photos since the early ‘70s. I have photos from the ‘72 Can-Am at Riverside shot with a pocket Instamatic. I have 25000+ 35mm slides almost all of cars and racing. Film is different, as you are finding out. You have to think more, understand more. How many guys today shooting digital truly…

I remember watching this and it scared the crap out of me. I was 27 at the time and working at Rockwell Int. on the B-1. Within a half mile radius of my desk were Hughes, Northrop, Raytheon, Aerospace Corp., the LA Air Force base, Chevron refinery and LAX. Can you say prime target. Word was there were a minimum of 5…

Nitrogen for your tires. It’s the dealer undercoating of our time. I always opt for the far less expensive 80/20 nitrogen/oxygen blend with the special trace additives.

I’ve owned my house for 32 years. I love it. I work on it all the time. I completely remodeled a bathroom down to the studs and floor joists myself, except for the tile work. I’m the son and grandson of engineers and lifelong do-it-yourselfers. My great-grandfather was a blacksmith. Pounding on stuff with hammers is…

Here’s hoping Daniel Suarez wins the Firecracker err.... Coke Zero 400 at Daytona in July. Heads will explode like popcorn.

I go to Concours’ to see things I’ve never seen before. I go to Pebble Beach to see stuff I’ve never even heard of before, and there are usually a dozen or so of those. I only have to go to my garage to see an E30 M3 (ya I know, I suck).

Junkyard airplane mashups are the best mashups. I give you the DC2-1/2.

In 1988 my wife and I went on vacation to Europe. Itinerary included Paris, Mulhouse (Bugattis!!!!), Heidelberg, and then a train up to Ostend and the ferry across to Dover where we were to stay the night and pick up a rental car to drive around the UK. That night in Dover we went down to the bar before dinner. There…

So, short story. My Dad’s first job out of college was with Wright Aircraft engines in New Jersey in 1940. One of the projects he worked on was a technical evaluation of a Daimler-Benz DB601 aircraft engine captured by the Brits. This was an inverted V12 engine with fuel injection and very advanced for the time. After…

Early ‘70s, girl I knew at high school drove a Glas GT for a few months. Her Dad owned the local Buick dealer and would always pull interesting trade-ins off the lot for his kids to drive. This was Studio City, Ca, just over the hill from Hollywood, so lots of oddball interesting cars floating around.

The answer is always Morgan.
