    Charlie: My son and I used to go to Little River Academy Raceway frequently when he was still home. I wish we could be there - it's only 34 miles north of Georgetown where I live. Unfortunately I have his Grand National stored in my barn while he and his wife have been stationed places where...

    Charlie: You have an unfair advantage with a turbo Buick. :shocking: Here's a photo of my son doing a pre-race burnout at the Texas Motorplex Speedway in his Turbocharged Buick Grand National. Don't know if you can make it out but I bought him personalized vanity license plates that say ATE...

    Thomas: Since you are now retired and don't have anything else to do, try the following: A few days ago my best friend from high school sent me a 'Viet Nam Veteran' cap. I never had one of these before, and I was pretty hyped about it, especially because my friend was considerate enough to take...

    After watching the video of the "Lamborghini being parked in the high-rise Singapore sky garage" (link below): http://www.chonday.com/Videos/parking-lamborghini-sky-garage-singapore You might have asked what does a unit in the Hamilton Scotts En-Suite Sky Garage Luxury Apartments in...

    Thomas: You may have seen the 1955 photo in downtown Portland, Oregon of the Pigeon Hole Parking system. Here's a modern day version of the sky garage/lift which is fun to watch. Great place to park your Lamborghini! The video takes just over 2 minutes to watch and is pretty slick! It doesn't...

    Thomas: I hadn't heard anyone make reference to a Rumford fireplace in many years. I built a Colonial Williamsburg style house in the Dallas area about 31 years ago and spent quite a bit of time researching the details at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia when I was designing the house -...

    Retired Tom: Hope your retirement is like mine - I'm busier now than I have ever been and having fun trying to complete all of my ongoing car restoration projects along with her "Honey Do's". I even bought a sign for my shop/Man Cave for my wife that reads "I'M RETIRED SO STOP ASKING ME TO DO...

    Beltsville Shell is up for grabs again. First to PM will get it. Great read for those of us who grew up in the car culture of the early 1960's (déjà vu American Graffiti)! It's been to Georgetown, Texas and then Springfield, Virginia where my son read it. :thumbup: Let me know who wants it...
