Isn’t there some sort of cushioning blanket you can throw over your cars if you have to leave them outside. Something with some foam backing maybe?

and rust is fatal. Hail is just cosmetic. And if it is something for driving, if I can save a bunch of $ because it has dimples, works for me!

This was done in a ‘67 VW Squareback, mind you.

We also had a portable dvd player and they could watch a movie or 2 depending on how long the trip was.

I rode in the back; the rear seat was flipped down, and luggage was on one side of the car; I had a blanket on the other side. I'm pretty sure my sister rode on my mom's lap the entire trip.
I do remember all the cars that were on the side of the road on I-15 going to Las Vegas, that had overheated. The little air cooled engine in the VW just soldiered on.

Out of 3 attempts, I made it once. The time we drove there and back, we hit hours of traffic each way that put a kink in things. On the way down, I made it to Savannah. On the way back, some unknown area in WV. The time I made it was in a rental Durango. We had flown down, rented the car, used it for the week, then drove back to Philly airport and got back in our van and drove home. No bad traffic was the trick.

The distance from my driveway in SC to my mother’s driveway about 10 miles East of the Burgh was 620 miles. That was a little more than 10 hours driving time and 12 hours total road time which included stopping for a meal and a relief stop. Don’t know how many times I did that back in the mid to late 90’s. I don’t think I would try doing that today though.

I'm just too old for that sh*t anymore.
I’ve done south Jersey to Charlotte going south and Bangor ME going north. I’ve done Boston and back in one day.

They called a wildcat strike the Wednesday before July 4th after my shift (which was about 4:00 p.m.). I just wanted to make money to pay for tuition, but had to go along with them. I had picket line duty immediately after my shift, which lasted until midnight. Depending on how long the strike would go on, I didn’t have picket line duty again well into the end of the following week.
My (then) girlfriend from college moved to Riverside, CA. She was transferring from my alma mater (Miami) to Stanford.
I was going to use the time we were on strike to visit her. Called and told her I was on my way. Outside of that phone call, there was no communications. No cell phones. No texts. No emails. And, to make any calls along the way, i either had to stuff a pay phone with a bunch of quarters, or reverse the charges for the calls to her parents, something she said would not be met with smiles and understanding.
I had a well worn, and ill-running MGB-GT. That wasn’t going to make it. But, one of my college roommates had an older, but in great shape, Ford Torino. I convinced him to go on this little adventure with me, with the promise my girlfriend would “hook him up” with her best friend.
Away we went. We filled up a cooler with sodas and snacks. Aside from bathroom breaks, gas station stops, we drove straight through. One person slept while the other person drove over 2 ½ days. Coming over the Rockies, that Torino, with all the smog controls choking it, bucked and chugged until we got over the other side. Aside from that, it ran great.
Got to the GF’s house, expecting a warm reception, but getting a stern “you ain’t staying here” from her Father. Attempted to sleep in front of her house in the car. That was a no-go, too. Ended up driving to an empty spot in the nearby mountains and sleeping in the car for a couple of days.
GF was not the kind of person who would go up against her Father. And obviously, her Father was not a fan of mine (she didn’t even tell him I was coming).
Against my protestations, my travel companion decided it was time to drive home 2 ½ days back. As they say, it wasn’t the destination but the journey that provided stories, laughs, and hi-jinks along the way that we remember.
Got home only to find out the strike was settled and I had just enough time to wash what was a week’s worth of travel and road dirt off me, sleep a few hours, and go back to work.
Never saw the GF, again. And, my travel companion passed away 2 months ago from COVID!

Obviously, you will need the requisite paperwork from the dealer. And if you have already filed your 2020 return, you can always file an amended return to get get the credit. Not sure how this works for used vehicles but the process should be the same.

to have so many that are likely to have good classic car turnouts to choose from.
And best of all, the Columbus Oldsmobile chapter has scheduled a show for the fall.

A college student from the University of North Carolina (a long way from Houston, TX) contacted me about purchasing several, complete with SCSI hard drive and 21 inch monitor. We arranged a deal, and he drove down over the spring break. Turns out he had a girl friend locally that he wanted to see, and he hoped to pay for the trip by making a profit on the computers. He was in an older Honda Accord, and we were able to stuff a surprising number of computers with 21 inch CRT monitors (which are massive) inside that old Accord.
When he went to pay, he was scraping the bottom of his pockets, right down to the pocket change, and he was still short a few dollars. I forgave him the few dollars and asked if he had enough money to get home. He did have a gasoline credit card, and nothing else. I gave him back $20 so he could eat on the way home. Hey, I was once a starving college student myself!
Looking back on it, I hope his girlfriend was more accommodating than @graphicguy’s.
Purchase price above the MA max, so no luck there.

"How we doing on gas, Mike?"
"Light's on, LD"
"Did you see that sign, Mike? What did it say?"
"Yeah, it was a thermometer. It's really hot out, 109.9 degrees!"
"Hang a U Mike, hope you have $1.10 for a gallon of gas."
Needless to say, Mike was the least brightest bulb in our low-watt circuit.
We made it. And, had a great time!

I like it. I think Cragars can work well on any 50s-60s car.

Yep it's a 66 Malibu. According to the owner the only bodywork done to it was a new paint job. Interior looked like it was new.

Only got cleared to run the Preakness after a clean pre-race test, which is unusual to test before the race. I wonder if he will have to test again before Belmont?

I should have said Cragar-style, but assumed old-school folks would know what I meant.

Batteries can be recycled. But I’m no expert on it.
As to the derby, they just said they tested positive for one of the many banned substances, not that it actually helped him win! And in this situation, testing pre and post race makes sense.
