    I don't know if video embedding is enabled for youtube on this site, but that is the proper tag for it.

    I had my Jeep down at a shop getting some work done and I knew they would need to drive it to make sure everything was good... I was on my way to the shop to pick it up when I saw it driving down the road with out me. The kid that was doing the test drive was making a run to the gas station for some smokes and a drink. I had an extra set of keys so I waited till he walked in and I jumped in and drove off... I have never seen a kid more freaked out.

    a buddy of mine has taken the Frazer to a couple of rod shows. I had him drive it when we got the new exhaust on it so I could hear what it sounded like.

    The YT tag worked, but the embedding doesn't. Just a link will have to do unless you can go into your youtube control panel and get the BBC code tag.

    Thanks Glen,

    I deleted my attempts and will try your suggestion later with another post.

    Because of the two posts I deleted, I've gone from a member back to the grenade inspection squad. :eek:

    It's fun letting other people drive my roadster sometimes, seeing how excited they get about it helps keep me from taking it for granted :)

    Of my most recent cars I don't really have any outside-the-car-footage.
    So, does dragstrip action count of my '60 NewYorker?

    When I sold it and it was driving down my street. I watched it and thought, "Damn, that is really cool...why again did I sell it?"
    Haven't seen it since.
    But
    I have a better one in the works now.

    I'm another storefront plate glass window addict...........
     
  13. I've done the glass reflection bit myself. Downtown, on a Sunday morning, is perfect to do this. Somewhere, I have a pic of me and the car in a reflection, off a mirrored glass faced building in the city. It's one of the best pics I've ever shot of the Dodge.

    I've let my wife drive the Dodge five times since we've been married (almost 25 years!), and let my son drive it one time, with me in the car, for about five miles. So, I've seen it go down the road, without me in it, maybe twice in 29 years.
