I couldn't believe it... A Ford! Looks totally kick-ass.

You didn't know about this until now? It's been in all the car magazines for a couple of years. (Road & Track, Car & Driver). It's a modern update of the GT-40 of 30+ years ago.

No, I didn't know about this. I get three magazines: Panorama, Excellence, and Dive Training.

Seriously - I don't know jack about any other car than a 914. My father grew up working in HIS dad's Texaco service station (back when they did major maintenance at your corner shop). But none of that was passed down to me. I didn't grow up working on Bugs, or street rodding cars, or anything else. I first changed my own oil when I was 21.

I started turning my own wrenches after a shop outside of Tacoma Washington soaked me almost 500 dollars to rebuild a pedal cluster (which didn't fix the problem). I didn't even get kissed first.

p.s. People talk about their dream cars. My dream car is my grandfather's WWII jeep, that was repainted black/red with lots of exposed plain aluminum, wooden bumpers, with a huge Texaco emblem on the side. He bought it surplus (after coming home from War in the Phillipines) and used it at his service station for many years. My father has the jeep now, and hopefully someday I'll get it.
