A Prius is a...car. These are CARS.
Across the street from me, at Randall's custard shop and restaurant.

Last week was a bust, only two cars from the 70's showed up.

This week made up for last week though!











The owner of this car took the original motor out, put a 1955 dual-carb hemi V-8 in it.

1. I love car shows.
Folks gather together with the subject of their toils, bringing out beautiful machines.

Thanks for posting.

2. I want that Studebaker pick-up!!
My neighbor is selling a MINT '67 GTO convertible -- red with a black top.

I told my wife it would make the perfect commuter car for me.

She is not convinced...

3. I don't know if a Triumph TR6 is worthy of caps.
What's that, a tiny little six-pot in there? Sure, it's a car, but a CAR requires at least a small block :)
