Also could use one of Piccard's WTF are you doing ?????.
You know with the arms and fingers out stretched and an incredulous look on his face. Then palm to fore head....
And always in the Captains' chair.

I took my wife out for a ride after several test rides and her reply was "I like it it is like a carnival ride".......still trying to figure out if that was a compliment or insult! But, guessing a compliment as she has gone out several times since with a smile on her face. Her hang up is of course is that her hair get messed up. I told her to dress up like a pin up girl and wear a scarf over her hair and it wouldn't be an issue......still waiting......

My ex girl friend liked to ride along with me. In the middle of a cruise around Houston, she says, "All these people keep looking at us. It's like I'm naked." On a bad day, I'd think about that and laugh my ass off.

Too damn funny.......at first she said "I will not ride in it everyone will be looking at us"...."it draws too much attention". Hello, what is wrong with that! Attention because it is cool.....and not the norm, nothing wrong with that....She continues to ride with me, she is hot the car is hot, nough said!

It seems to me, that women in general, like to be seen and admired. What better vehicle, than a roadster, on a nice sunny day. When my ex and I rode around, she was having more fun than I was. In fact, my fun was watching her having fun. I knew she was hooked, when she wanted to wear my hot rod t-shirts, when we rode around. My T Bucket became her favorite accessory.

Actually, no. These small cars are NOT like Winged Outlaws.. There's no way, I'd drive a car handling like that. If that's really what it's doing, you need to park it and fix it before someone gets hurt or dies. 104 and death wobble? I tend to doubt it, but hey, stranger things have happened. IMO, handling death wobble at 104 mph is not only crazy, but impossible.
I'm done, later and just be safe.

Omg, the "my hair" thing... Funny, when we were dating, my now wife loved riding on the bike, in the ragtop, the boat....now, it's the hair thing. Then it's the sort of disappointed look when she gets left home.... I am all about the wind in my face, few things bring joy, it seems. There is no way to win! Lol...

Well, I just hope my new front tires get here and my windshield frame with glass gets finished before next Wednesday... Might not get to take car to Indy... Time will tell... I been goin over car in shop and noticed where the radius rods had cane up and hit headlight stands. Right side worse than left... Right front tire was worse and the king pin set screw had backed out... Don't drive with tires that been setting flat on a 72 beetle in a old single wide house trailer for 12 years.. Guess that's why the tires were bouncing up and down and shaking left to right... I'll let y'all know how it turns out with new tread..

I towed a c60 asphalt sealer tank truck to the scrap yard and I thought it was going to break the boom on my wrecker. That thing bounced for 45 minutes. It looked like a funeral precession behind me because I couldn't go over about 35... The tires looked great, but it sat for years, flat spots.

This is "death wobble" on a Jeep and he's NOT going 104 mph. Now, THIS in a T Bucket is VERY scary. That shake, when it happens, is so violent, you slow down to make it stop. You sure as hell don't try to drive through it. Well, unless you're.....
