  14. This is more about in the rear-view mirror. Went to a cruise-in and when leaving a Ford GT40 was pushing me going down a very curvy road that follows a river. Finally, I figure let's see if he can keep up. He'd gain a little in the curves but couldn't keep up on the straights.

    The little white spot next to my hand is the hood stripe on the GT.

    Cropped the photo so you could actually see him back there. The Rat Fink is my accelerometer. Notice he's leaning away from the mirror on heavy acceleration.

    Here's the car, looked like a 351 based engine with dual quads.

    Here's me, .040 over 327" w/forged internals, LT1 cam and heads, Holley 650DP on C3B intake, B/W Super T-10, 4:11 rear.

    Hello,

    One day, my wife and I were out and about for taking care of some business in another coastal city up the highway. We decided to take the freeway to arrive a little early for our destination. Normally, we would take the highway that runs along the shoreline, but decided at the last minute for a more direct approach.

    As we were arriving at the freeway entrance, we saw a 1957 Chevy up ahead. I had my digital camera ready and took a fast point and shoot infinity focus shot. Much to the scrunched up face of my wife who was watching out for the cars getting ready to get on the freeway on ramp lane. There are always last minute, illegal, double line crossing idiots trying to sneak onto the freeway single lane on ramp area. So, the photo needed to be fast.

    It was difficult as we neared the on ramp lane as more cars came between the 57 Chevy and our own station wagon. But, the instant recognition of the color was perhaps one that we saw near our granddaughter’s house 17 miles away on another different day.

    As much as I could get the small photo up and enlarged without getting too much blur or image spread, I realized the top was a different color despite the bottom half being almost the exact color. So, it was gone after a few seconds and we were headed on the ramp to continue our own business. It will show up on another day of cruising around So Cal coastal areas in this “neck of the woods…” YRMV
