Drive

Needed some parts at OSH today so drove Lucille, even though it was in the 90s . The air itself wasn't too bad and as long as I was moving, the car was quite comfortable. It's those long stoplights that get ya. But those new brakes are sure working good!

As I was leaving OSH, a woman and her husband had to stop me and look the car over. She said she loves old cars. I motioned towards a '55 Chevy sitting nearby that had most of it's several layers (and colors) of paint scraped off, half its interior missing, but with a shiny new set of Torque Thruster mags on it and the obligatory raked rear end. They both laughed and got back to looking at my car. I kicked myself later for not mentioning that the Chevy was probably worth more than double the value of my car, even in that condition. Go figure.
