Two weeks ago I took my '75 Ford shorty to the local monthly cars and coffee (mostly Porsche, Jags, antiques) and nobody stopped to check it out or even comment. You know I'll be there next month.

I got a very "Why is that here" vibe from their faces. haha I love that you enter your van in car shows.

I thought I was gonna die, But managed to keep it in the lines and not get rear ended LUCKY!! I skidded for a long wile and was able to get it sorta to side of the road. This was on a busy stretch and I think I was more worried for my life sitting there whith hardly enough room for two vehicles to get by with me half in the lane. Transports were blowing their horns and running by in the gravel. Man I was so sure that I was gonna get hit I got out and stood in the ditch till the tow truck arrived and even then the cars and trucks were narrowly making it by. I finally got the van to my shop and thought to myself that I was pretty lucky to have only broke the rear end and flat spotting the tires! The pinion bearing seized, I found a junckyard rear and swapped my brakes and cover onto it slammed a quick paint job on it.
