But I can still dream.

You Know You’re Old..: Indy 500 Edition

 
If you read the article on how much I love car magazines, then it should come as no surprise that I also adore car racing.
But I’m picky. I don’t like super car, funny car, stock car, or NASCAR. Granted NASCAR is the current race du jour, I still prefer the Indianapolis 500.

The Boy in Me

While sitting in the doctor’s office today I noticed the man sitting next to me gave my magazine a double take.
Most women read glamorous, gossip or healthy-type magazines while waiting. Me, no, I zone right in on the car magazines.

‘SZZLNG’ For You

I guess I didn’t get the memo. Today apparently was personalized plate day in Reno.  
I can’t believe how many I saw.

Well I think all nine million of [...]

Happy Birthday Brad! (Oh and my Dad Too)

He turns 12 years old today. And I still cherish the day I got him.  
And who is he? My truck!

  
He’s got nearly 68,000 miles on him which just breaks my heart. I know that is low for his age, but it means he’ll start to break down more and more.
