One more last...last time

It was not too bad out today. Got the Olds fired up and went for a ride around the block a few times. Found out my digital camera also does videos!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Enjoy the Holidays and this little video!

Ooooh, nice. Beautiful cars & sounds nice. Too cold for me to get the Starfire out & I'm only 90 miles from you.

After the blizzard of '79, since we had 40 inches of snow, my little brothers thought it'd be 'fun' to 'bury' my '65 BB Chevelle 2-dr wagon, parked next to the garage!
They used the snow from the garage roof, and you couldn't tell it was even there!
Since I wasn't using it, and wind chills were -40 degrees, I left it buried a while.
When the time came, I dug out the drivers door, let it warm-up, 'rocked' it out, and went out to the highway, slowly, to knock the 10 ft. of snow off, on the shoulder! Thankfully, the air shocks held, and off I went.
Me and that car went through a lot, and I should've kept it!!
Never too cold!!

The car looks and sounds great! I just love an Olds dual cut out trumpet exhaust.

A ride around the block would be great about now...my area is covered with snow and salt right now.

Merry Christmas

Ohh...It was plenty cold enough. Just got tired of it sitting in the garage. Enough snow melted in the subdivision to go around a few times. I stayed off the main roads because they have been laying the salt down pretty heavy.

I am in west Michigan, and we only have about 4" on the ground right now. Way less than normal. Anyway, nice looking car.

Went a little earlier this year to get our tree, unfortunately at night. But the twins were home from college for break and wanted a tree so we beat the snow and went out Saturday night for our "last run of the season." Different year, different car. I might have to borrow someone else's car next year to keep the different car tradition alive. Who's offering?

My heater motor is too noisy to listen to, so no winter driving for me. This winter we have had a lot of days where the roads have been clean and dry, enough that my car really didn’t have to go into winter storage. All I would have to do is to clean up the engine compartment of my anti mouse preparations.
