Here's what happens when local newspapers cover car events...

Now that's funnier than my dog, hunched up, trying to p*** a peach pit! Good One!

 

Ha! Ha! Would E/Gas be a ethanol-gas mixture?

 

You are right ,a E/Gas car with the # 85 on it would be advertising E-85 fuel.

 

Hey, you guys laugh and poke fun at this while I'm on my way to Brown Bros. for some of that 54 cent gas.

 

You guys completely miss the point. Reporters are supposed to know nothing about anything!

This allows them to be unbiased.

 

That's a cl***ic.LOL

 

That's the question of the day.

 

Actually that's pretty scary. Imagine if that same guy had to write some thing bad about hotrods. He'd screw it up so bad that the townies would be looking for us with pitchforks. They need to get someone to write stuff about cars that actually know something about cars.

 

I never found the news-stuff you refeered to , But I sure liked the pix I found on your zite (?) . seems like a great show !!!
Klaz

 

frickin' cl***ic.

I'm printing that photo to put on my wall, it's priceless.
The New York Daily News gives out a "knucklehead award", this would be a no-brainer for that award.

That was a really good show. My girlfriend was the one that told me about it and was gracious enough to actually hang out with me 'till the last car left. There was a car from here on the HAMB that was a prototype for a remake that was there too. I wish I could remember what it was called...my mind just went blank...Hmmmm.

 

Mich.......Again?? funny stuff

 

thats funny ****....
one of the local papers covered our show...had a pic of greezys 40 next to bigsam63's 52....had quotes from me and numbers for the show....i never spoke to anyone at all from a paper....maybe i should sue>>>not cause they quoted me when i didnt talk to them...but cause they didnt use my car!!!!bwhahahahahaaaaaa///

 

So they got it wrong. They posted 32 pictures of various and sundry cool old cars. Good for them (I especially like #18, is that original?)

 

Hysterical!

 

Now you know why the news media has a bad rap.... their dumb as rocks!! And some people judge their whole opinion on what they report!!

 

Natural mistake with the current gas prices that someone would first think about prices rather than cl***ification. In actual fact, it was a rarity to have a Willys coupe running in C/gas. Only one I can remember was running a flathead.
Of course, I'm senile now and prone to misspeak.

 

Hey, they got at least 50 people to look at it that way.

Reporter advertises ignorance of vintage drag racing terminology?

 

Good stuff...

How funny, I cant believe gas used to be that cheap.

 

Quote: "Wow, that's a good one, and that in Ann Arbor, Michigan."

Yeah, but it was reported by the DETROIT paper -- where cars are built!

Oops, on second thought, maybe they couldn't check their facts database because that car wasn't built in Detroit, but originally imported from Toledo, Ohio.

 

i remember 23.9.....

 

It would be 85 euros. Damn expensive gas but hey, that's a race car!

 

I remember paying half that for 100+ octane.

 

Nowadays it would be 54 B/Gas Thats 54 Bucks a gallon

 

The car is "Super" but they subtracted "charged".

 

Hee Haw Hee Haw!!!

That's funny I don't care who you are!

 

Guys - it probably wasn't the reporter.
They have editors to write captions for the photos!
