cars!

On our way to Hershey, we made a stop at the Antique Automolbile Club of America Museum in Hershey. A great museum, very well done, and worth the stop if you are in the area. Mostly American cars (I'm more of a European sports car fan) and great displays.

The Most Interesting Car Enthusiast In the World

We invite you to our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/RubberHitsTheRoad) to share your "Most Interesting Car Enthusiast" lines. Here are some of ours.

The Most Interesting Car Enthusiast In The World:

Mosquitos aim for his windshield just for bragging rites. It never works out for them.

He always has right of way.

He can halt rust with a stern glance.

He has “driven a Ford lately” and their stock went up.

When he flies by the seat of his pants, it’s because he can.

His car’s direction signals are intuitive.

The Force is with him.

When he goes to the DMV, they are pleasant and quick.

He once wondered if it was better to drive on the left side of the road. England found out just for him.

He doesn’t always go to car shows but when he’s in NY or CT, he checks www.RubberHitsTheRoad.INFO for the events in his area.

Are you among the Most Interesting?

What kind of Gearhead are you?

There is no one right way to enjoy our hobby. Nevertheless, I really identified with Frieburger’s editorial in Hot Rod Magazine this month when he described himself. Here are a few key quotes:

“I’m into performance instead of appearance, even if “performance” is defined as being a daily driver.” I agree fully. I painted my car 17 years ago and still haven’t installed the final trim pieces but if the car is not running right, I’m out of my mind until it’s sorted out. Additionally, my interest in performance has shifted from speed to “daily driver” in recent years.

“I’ll never restore a car to stock,…” For me, it’s about mixing the style and performance aspects of my eclectic taste. But mostly it’s about how things feel behind the wheel instead of how things look from the curb. I’m currently driving a 4 door Bel Air with a 4 speed and a bench seat. My taste is getting weirder every year! But no one can say it’s boring.

Lastly, for me it’s all about logging the miles. I drive my cars year-round and 80% of my mileage is in cars from the 60’s.

So get out and drive! If you need somewhere to go, you can find car shows in your area if you're in NY, CT, or FL (and a few other places) on our website (www.RubberHitsTheRoad.INFO). You'll also find specialty parts, car clubs and specialty auto shops in your area. If you like it please spread the word and if you don't, give me your feedback so I can make it better.

Thanks for your help.

Dave

My "newest" vehicle is a 1990 Chevy pick up with 143,000 miles. I have 6 Oldsmobile's from 1954 to 1986. All are over 130,000 miles. The 1986 is a garage queen. Never gets driven in the rain or snow.

I think I subscribe to about 8 or 9 car magazines, yep, I got the gearhead disease

The old Olds

I'm liking that old Olds. Is that the '54 on the left? Wish I had 6 old cars. My next project will have to come with a driveway attached!

BobC · June 2013

55?

I think it's a 55 Old's, probably the Holiday 88 but I could be mistaken.

55olds

Dave the black one is the 1955 88, The blue and white is the 54. The 55 is finally inside. Both of these cars sat for over 25 yrs before the older gentleman gave them up due to failing health. I really want to restore them, but on what I make for a living it may take a long time.

I have a 1978 cutlass drag race car, the engine expired 5-11-13. That will cost my entire car budget for this year and part of next years.

The 85 cutlass has a 455 BBO.

How about this baby?

Closest I ever got to a Lamborghini.

X-Wing Fighter or Millennium Falcon?

The Millennium Falcon always resonated with the hot rodder in me. It was basically a souped up freighter. Once it was done stumbling it took off like a Bat Out of Hell leaving the X-Wing Fighters wondering, “What the hell just happened?” I’ve had a few cars like that. Mostly the stumbling part!

I also like big cars. When I was 19, I owned a 79 Camaro and a 69 Olds 98 (which cost me $100). We usually went out in the 98. It was ugly and it couldn’t go above 45 mph but it sure could hold a lot of friends.

My current “Millennium Falcon” is 65 Bel Air with 4 doors, a 4-speed, and a bench seat. I made it a 4-speed because that’s more fun to drive. The engine has 330hp and 380 ft-lbs of torque. I run a 3 inch single exhaust with an OEM muffler, which lets the car breathe while still remaining quiet. It’s quite the sleeper, which leaves others wondering, “What the hell just happened?”

I created the Rubber Hits The Road Facebook page as a place for car enthusiasts to share their wild ideas. I created the website www.RubberHitsTheRoad.INFO to help car enthusiasts pursue those ideas by finding specialty shops, specialty parts, auto events, and car clubs. So please participate and help others in the process.

What kind of car enthusiast are you?
