48 years and counting

[jerrym3]

Another click of the annual clock. It's now 48 years since I bought my 64 Galaxie. 2016 wasn't a very productive year.

Mileage, 218,734. That's only a 479 mile increase from last January. At this rate, 220,000 mile benchmark looks like a "definite maybe".

Bad year for car shows. Heat was terrible. First time I've ever left a show early just because it was too hot. Heat definitely affected the attendee turnout at some shows.

No trophies. I'm not surprised. A paint job done in 1980 can't last forever. Besides, there's no room in my trophy cabinet. But, she still gets a lot of lookers, and that's what it's all about.

Anyway, here's to 2017.

That's strange.

I'll give it another try.

Very nice. Obviously you've got 2 sets of hubcaps. What engine are you running?
