* Name the last time you saw a Cosworth Vega! http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/06/24/wednesday-wrap-23/ Which do you prefer: Dodge or Ford? http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/06/25/thursday-survey-23/ On personal notes, I have battled heart-related issues since I was born: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/06/24/daily-dose-wake-up-wed-23/ & now enduring issues which hope to make this true: http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/06/25/daily-dose-theory-thu-23/ But, perhaps perspective is an odd thing? In some ways, feel like my best days [via road trips 2002-2011 & events-gatherings, at least 2 of which I am missing this weekend] are ov…

Came across this story about Ferrari beating Bugatti and it is very cool to watch. Interesting is that in the quarter mile you do see that the Ferrari is a couple car lengths ahead but as they hit the finish line and keep going the bugatti closes the gap. Makes one wonder who would really win in a mile long race. https://fr.news.yahoo.com/laferrari-demolishes-bugatti-veyron-drag-race-video-135004475.html

Found this on the web. Amazing how many people with money think they are amazing race car drivers here in America or around the world.

UNDATED -- A 96-year-old Florida man is recovering after an otter went on the attack. Morrie Denton said he was just out for a stroll when the animal struck. "I just looked down on the ground and I saw this little animal walking across and he walked real slow like," Denton said. Denton said without warning, near a wetland area, an otter clamped down on his ankle. Two good Samaritans came to the elderly man's aid, but the otter then turned its focus on them. "After he grabbed me by the foot and I fell, he was all over me, on this hand and then on this one,” Denton said. A good Samaritan stopped to help Denton, but struggled to pull the otter off. Passerby Chris Jans…

** First, Sorry for posting the whole article.. It's just short.** Product Liability Case Ends in Michelin's Favor "In a unanimous verdict, a jury in Lake Havasu City, (Mohave County) Ariz., recently found in favor of Michelin North America Inc., on all claims relating to a product liability lawsuit filed against the company by the plaintiff, Kimberly Allen. The three-week trial was heard in Arizona State Court. The verdict was handed down on Nov. 19. In the lawsuit, Allen and her attorneys alleged that a defective Uniroyal tire -- manufactured by Michelin at its plant in Ardmore, Okla. -- was the reason for a single-vehicle rollover accident on Oct. 8, 2011, i…

Hey everyone, Just a quick question for you: If you had to think of the best name to describe people who like to modify and customize their cars and trucks what would it be? Tuners? Modders? Restylers? Or something else? I know this sounds like a joke (and I'm actually waiting to see the creativity of some of our forum members) but I have been giving this a lot of thought. Tuners make me immediately think of imports only, restylers make me think immediately of professionals and modders bring to mind something else entirely. SO, what do you call people who like to play with their cars?

Found this on Yahoo about 9 models that blow you away with small engines. First and foremost is this from the story: Qoute "Sedan or coupe, the compact Caddy is among the industry’s best-kept secrets, more fun to drive than even a BMW 3-Series. That lively, engaging personality is best experienced with the 2.0-liter turbo four, rather than the pricier and more pedestrian 3.6-liter V-6, or the outright anemic 2.5-liter four sans turbocharger." Over all a great read and even SMK's lowly Mercedes Benze gets a spot. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/nine-models-that-prove-small-engines-can-beat-big-116392112457.html

* I have thought about visiting-posting many times the last couple months, but despite having actually drafted a post or 2 [including choice responses in the Random Thoughts Thread], did not. So, why now? To invite you to a gathering I am hosting THIS weekend! Short notice, but sometimes impromptu-spontaneous gatherings are needed. 2 experiences prompted this last-minute decision. First, just over a month go, I found out the restaurant that hosted my MidSummer Chitown Gatherings ~20 years ago is under new ownership interested in hosting events in 2026 [details on those later]. Second, among developing health issues (including a hernia), I had a scare a week or…
