Love hearing that you stopped driving new cars. How cool! These new cars are just appliances to me. The new pony cars are pretty darn ugly, but they do perform and I respect them for that only.

I guess I'm a bit spoiled having a great 80 mile loop through the foothills of the Canadian Rocky's where I drive my cars. About 500-800 miles a year for most of mine, but some are driven twice that and the value of them doesn't matter with me.

I took my 1970 LS5 convertible survivor on a 300 mile drive through the Rocky Mountains last year and she performed flawlessly. I enjoyed every single mile of that trip!

Like most things in life, if you don’t use it you’ll lose it. These cars need their exercise once in a while or they’ll dry up.

For those of you in the concrete Jungles and maze of Metropolitan Interstates with toll roads, here's what Helmut and I have are lucky enough to have at our back door. Unlimited 2 lane black top...no toll roads, and best of all...no traffic!

Graeme, you and I have gotta get our cars on the road at the same time. Nothing I like better on the road than having another great looking musclecar to keep pace with along the way!
