How come I didn't have paparazzi taking shots and bystanders running to get water and a fire extinguisher for me when my AC compressor locked up and smoke was billowing out from under the hood? Oh yea, I am just an average Joe...I mean Dan.

 

That's one way to look at it. But I don't have a song named after me! I am really an average J...Ken

 

All Oldsmobile owners on this site are famous in my book. Next time you have a fire do it in front of my house I'll save your car and then buy you a beer

 

Not so average Ken....you've got a movie named after you!!

 

Just goes to show how ig'nant most people are about old cars- or cars in general for that matter. A steam car is supposed to have a little fire going, and steam is a natural byproduct of one.

In spite of what he did to his Toronado, Leno is a car guy and is known as one of the few steam car owners who will fire up a boiler and ride.

The downside of being a famous car guy is that ya can't even take your stuff out for a pleasant spin without the paparazzi and hangers-on getting in the way.

 

That's close enough. here is the real me...from a couple of years ago with my 'Vette. Funny how many pictures I don't have of me. Let see you. Oh, and I have a moustach and thing under my lower lip. I look like a pirate.

That's called a soul patch ain't it?

 

Col. You're famous too......

 

I don't know Dan, but it's like the Colonel's picture above just not so big...actually just a small triangle.

 

I thought it was called "A flavor saver"
