I've been a driver for 8 days. Sure I love driving. I love following the entirety of automobile history. I have attended Monterey Car week, gone to some of the bigger auctions like Mecum at Kissimmee, and bought my 1942 Chevy 3100 pu at a car corral at an auction locally. I am watching for a 1946 Chevy pu very much like mine that will run through Mecum at Houston in a few weeks from now. I register and track the prices of what does move at the auctions. I don't do much with it, it is just fun and pretty much free. Except when a rarity like my 42 pops up. I will be going to the Peterson Museum hopefully in a week or if not then, later this summer. I can't pass up the opportunity to see what others have accomplished in the way of restoring and caring for cars and trucks of all kinds. But like every person that cares about you, I encourage you to resist the street racing and speeding on open highways! Find a safer outlet if you want to pursue it that will not be likely to hurt anyone, some organized place and manner of competing. It is busy out there, too busy for what we used to do pretty safely in the "olden"days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxis? ??? Wow taxis. I lived under the shadow of the mouse ears back before signal lights, when everything was four way stop signs. We would get out around the quarter horse track at Los Alamitos back when the area was Dairy Valley and let the engines loose for miles and miles of nothing, just stand on the pedal and roll till the speedometer maxed out, if the motor could stand it. Brakes would fade so badly, at those speeds we would just coast from about 60 mph on to a slow smoking stop after a run. Can't do stupid like that anymore. I guess that's a good thing. Amazing what stupid stuff we survived, odds must be near zero if one tired it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passed the the first time Hi KPaulG, Congratulations. You have done so well. Now just keep to the right side of the road, but then of course, `down under` (Aussie) the right, correct side of the road is the left. Have I confused you. Anyway all the best & you have grown into such a lovely young man of God. Marilyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a tip for you. As you know, you are given the privilege to use the nations roadway and highways, so obey the rules and this is what i really want to say. Do not gaze, especially when you see the ladies dressed up all nice, it's called temptation to .... . Just a second from taking your eyes off the road can cause smashed vehicles.

Tulare? naww. Dairy Valley? Maybe Dairyland now called LaPalma. You must have known Tin Can Beach (now Bolsa Chica), yes those were the days lol. Tumbleweeds that would roll over cars when the winds blew, orange groves, and cattle, plus miles of strawberry fields, and Knotts was a farm with an tourist attraction that had no entry fee, but did eventually have the John Wayne Theater. It was where we went on dates when we were nearly broke. I eventually bought the house at the end of the then closed Los Alamitos reservist base, for $24,000 brand new. Made a fortune when I sold it for $72,000 seven years later. Ha it once sold for $249,000 and who knows how much it might cost today. All of Saigon flew in over my house oh so low over my house when the base opened up and the C130s came in day and night for what seemed like forever. Soon Westminster and part of Garden Grove literally became Little Saigon. And it just doesn't stop. Heard on a plane, about a year ago, a guy chatting about how fortunate he is to be moving to Temecula, that he is going to get in on the ground floor before all the growth starts. Still find that so very different perspective to be funny. Now I live in what is a city at Florida that when I bought my home here was in a jungle. I couldn't even find it the second time in order to go back and buy it. I was lost in the woods out where there were hardly even roads, just an occasional forest ranger tower. Now I'm deep in the city next to the library, the little league fields, the police station, the fire station, and 485 stores at the Mall, all while in the very same house.- and am actively looking at Tennessee, West Virginia, and part of Georgia for some land away from the crowds. Seems where I go they soon will follow. Popular guy that I am. Or perhaps I am just another ant on the trail of ants making that sandpile one grain at a time. Funny how the adventure continues. Why some people are just now getting their drivers licenses! And, are about to begin life seeing the opportunities before them as great wonders to enjoy, many in service to our Lord Jesus. May He make their paths prosperous for their souls and for their bodies as well. PS kinda wordy this morning, perhaps thinking about So Cal as I will have to fly there next week. Always an adventure in change there, I have to gear up for it or go nuts while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
