Well,,lemme introduce myself, , name's Gary, I'm in in the San Diego area and I'm entering geezerhood,,(60). The junk around here includes a '30 ford coupe,,a T lakes modified, (gotta move that one along) and a '55 chevy pickup. Also a few old motorcycles. My wife says that I don't need to worry about a second childhood, because I haven't grown out of the first one yet, so I figured I would check out this neighborhood and see what kind of fun you guys are having and see if I can join in.
AAh, Chicago,,I went to boot camp and 'A' school at Great Lakes,,when I was there for school we used to go to Wakeegen (is that spelled right?) and cruise the main drag,,looked just like American Graffiti,,street hemis, big block Chevys, gasser style '55s,,god it was cool! car we had was a dodge dart,,a '62 or '63 I think, with the torsion bars cranked up, a Vette style hood scoop, big and little tires and a farmall cub muffler, all on a slant six and three speed..The guy who owned it was from Oklahoma and it was cowboy cool. Another guy had a '64 Comet with a hi-po 289 and a 4-speed..it went well. my ride was a '62 Impala ss, but it was in California with my wife. This was in early '68
