Not the obituaries nor the he is going finally to jail part but the local Cars and Coffee meet. Not sure why the reporter picked me or my car as there were many much nicer rarer cars to pick from and certainly better subjects to interview. I suspect he was a newbie to the car world and maybe I took pity on him and answered a few of his questions anyway that is the only thing I can think of because I was setting next to the most generic Miata in the place If I had brought the Olds I would understand....

Very cool Tedd!

I bet your Miata is a blast to drive. Quite different than driving the Olds.

They are both a blast to drive but the Miata is more of a for me car the Olds is more for everyone car.

Right now the Olds is having a issue with ether the vacuum valve coming off the carb or the booster tank. I have a leak somewhere. The Olds is down till I figure it out.Tedd

To me it is amazing only because it's so cheap, handles so well and it puts a smile on my face every time I get in it. Kinda the opposite if the Olds except for the smile.... Tedd

Congrats Tedd... I'm sure anytime one of your vehicles get attention it makes you proud, and justifiably so...
