Well, here it is full-on car season again. And I'm in the same situation I've been in any number of times: car apart, in a half-dozen piles of parts in my garage. But that won't stop me from being involved in car stuff. "Yah", you say, "but what fun is it going to old car things if you don't …
Just Down the Road
Sometimes, the best surprises are the ones that are right in front of us all along. On a sunny September weekend, not too long ago, I took some time to explore. A group of friends and I, in our four old cars, set off in search of scenery knowing our approximate destination but having no real plan as …
The Fun’s in the Runnin’
It was the weekend of the MSRA's Super Secret Fun Run, and I had some serious catching-up to do. Hadn't driven the Nova much, except to work and around town in between some minor upkeep, wiring fixes, and the like. This day would change that. Dragged myself out of bed while it was still dark outside, threw …
Support Your Local Car Show

The Gang’s All Here
Well, I had good intentions. Had a list of stuff I wanted to do at this year's MSRA Back to the Fifties. Trouble was, it was just going to be one day: Saturday. We caravanned through the Twin Cities traffic, filtered into the parking lot across from the fairgrounds, and finally found ourselves in the …
Not Car-Related…. (Or, Is It?)
I was invited by some friends to attend a concert of sacred music by the Milltones chorus, held at Blue Cloud Abbey near Marvin SD. Though it's a mere twenty-some miles away, this day was the first time I had ever set foot on the Abbey's grounds or been inside the Abbey itself. I will be back. It was uplifting, peace-giving, at …
The REAL Reason….
....I have an old car is, without a doubt, to drive it. The REAL reason I have an old car! Check the photo and you can see that my old Chevy II has been pretty busy over the last five months. That dawned on me thusly: had the steering wheel off and the column partially torn apart …
