My new car is HERE!
Check out a picture I just took of my new car -
 It's a vintage gasoline-power Roy Cox Thimble Drome tether car from the 1940's or 50's. The engines are similar to what you find in model airplanes. Pretty cool! I found it on ebay. Did anyone else have a Cox tether car when they were young? And in case you thought this thread was about my California Special that was due to arrive on Tuesday... ...IT IS!!! The driver came three days early and dropped it off Saturday night. I already installed the new Raxiom taillights, which really set off the back end.

And again, thanks for dinner. Next time you're in The Motor City, dinner's on me. I can't down load the plane pictures from my camera onto my iPad, so we'll have to wait 'till I get home tomorrow.

Toshi, it was great to finally meet you last night!
 All three of us really enjoyed it. For those who are curious, Toshi flew into Philadelphia this week, so we went up last night to have dinner with him. Leaving the hotel on our way to Bonefish Grill (not Joe's Crab Shack), we drove past a Hooters in Bensalem, PA that was hosting a huge car show. There were easliy more than 100 cars there, so we made a u-turn and ate there instead. We were in the new GTCS, so I parked on the grass behind the restaurant. We were not detered/detoured by the bikini dunk tank, and found an open table inside. After dinner, we walked out and the guy at the MC tent piped up over the speakers and said they had a t-shirt for the first person to come up to them with a Ford key-fob. My new Mustang key was close enough, so Jack (not Debbie!) got a new shirt. We walked around looking at the cars for a bit, and then we rode out to the airport to look at the airplane Toshi piloted into town. We got a nice tour of the 8-passenger Citation jet, and headed back to the hotel to say our goodbyes. It's nice to catch up with members from the forum and put a face to the username. Toshi, we will have to do it again soon!
