    Wrecked my truck yesterday on the ride home from work. Drove the 65 Falcon in today. Man it ****ed with no heat. I guess it could be worse though if I drove the coupe with no gl*** in it. Oh well I needed to blow the ole falcon out.

    most of you probably wouldn't consider skateboarding a "real" job, but this is what i take to the skate spots some times and in Norcal it's a nice sunny day take her out to the local skatepark and go practice today:)

    Mine's no rod, more of a land yacht, but it sure looks funny parked between a bunch of econoboxes and SUVs. I've been recently stress testing for a vegas trip, if something breaks it may as well on the way to work. (any excuse to be late [​IMG])

    I've logged about 600 miles the last month and am averaging 13mpg in highway rush hour traffic. Not bad for a 430... I never drive it this much.

    Thanks... it runs good too:)
    The 3-Deuce offy we added looks even sweeter and It's only going to get better in time by adding a few things here and there and clean it up a bit!
    Now it races down the 101, 280 and 880 ( hwy17) from time to time.

  10. Not a rod, but I drive the Galaxie everyday rain or shine.

    Cab - i wish I had that full time job. I bet people flip when you get out of that at the park to skate.. I bet you will influence at least one skater to build a rod, just by driving that coupe..

    I hae to admit I've been driving an off topic car more lately, but I did drive the '57 Chevy one day this week. It was fun.

    Drove my coupe to school today, like I do almost every day. Not the only way to go, but the way I like best (in a hot rod, that is).

    Yes I did, as "someone" said recently
    hot rods are better than anything else in life
    or something like that.

    It sure makes the trip to work better.
    I drive it every chance I get.

    i drive my 54 everyday.
     
  23. Mine's parked at 'work' (who me???) everyday. After the 100' commute, I decided that by the time I got into the car, started it, then shut it off, got out and walked to the door of the office, that I'd be just as well off to leave it parked here.

    I'm jealous of anyone with a '32 roadster, not that that phrase has anything to do with what we're talking about here, I just couldn't contain it any longer.
