Since I wasn't making any money today, I figured I'd get my 57 out of the garage and go for a spin to cheer myself up. It worked as usual. Took a few shots of my ol' heap out on the street. Figured I would take advantage of some of the fall color.

Nice looking car Brian, but did anyone ever tell you that you shouldn't leave a parked car out in the middle of the road. :D

Traffic must slow there. Maybe non-existant.

Mostly non-existant. I can count the cars that pass in an hour on one hand.

Brian,

Curious, is that one of those push-button drive ones?

Brian - Nice car! But "fall color"? Here's some fall color for ya. This was on a hike my wife and I took this morning. And for those who think Philadelphia is only one big homicide statistic - this is inside the city limits, about a five minute drive from my house. Happy Thanksgiving!

While I no longer have these, these are what my two '54s looked like (followed by my '67). ;) (Not photos of my cars, had them before digital camera were out, but ones just like my cars - with minor differences: the Mark IX is a '59 and mine was a '54 Mark VII - no chrome strip down the side; the E-Type photo is a '68, my '67 had glass covered head lights.)

Yes, she's a push button drive car. Why Detroit quit using such a practical and convenient system is beyond me.

No shots of the back seat, but yes, it can tell stories. Here's the front:

She likes long country roads:

Her best friend is a mean truck that hates me:

And she has met some well known cars in the past year:

Her garage buddies are pretty varied:

And yes, she gets called Christine all the time. Christine was a 58 and my car is a 57.
