2023 ... Saturday night car show
Inthewoods: 2023 ... Saturday night car show
I dig it!
Unreal. So the Springs has a real meet now. Lived there in 1970. Ex was in army at Fort Carson. Cars on base never sold to other than soldiers. Guy ETSing sold it to a new grunt coming on base.We used to cruise up Nevada Blvd on Friday nights...pay days best. There was a dry cleaner/laundry that closed by 5. Had a nice parking lot. Cool cars would park there when not cruising. First 59 Chevy panel I had seen. We had the 59 Ford wagon and 48 Dodge 3 window. Still have the 3 window. Ford is long gone. Good old days being young and free. Well, kinda of free. No parents to listen to. Some of those cars were really tricked.

I was living in the Springs in 1970, my friends and I would cruise Nevada Ave, especially on the military paydays, 
... my one friend had a 1966 Chevelle Malibu, it was ordered with the 327 / 350 hp motor with a wide ratio 4-speed and I think 3:73 rear end gears, the car was unbelievable... 70 mph in first gear, 90 in second gear, 115 in third gear, once he hit 4th gear, the speedometer buried and started shaking ... all the time, accelerating so hard you were pinned to the seat... it was scary fast, he only got beat once, The GI's thought they had fast cars, other then a deep rumble, the Chevelle looked stock, it was easy to get races with Hemi's and Cobra Mustangs, my friend had fun on Friday nights. Your 59 Ford wagon and 48 Dodge 3 window sound nice, my Dad had a 48 Dodge, business coupe I think... thanks for the Nevada Ave memories, ... This is what my friends car looked like...
This is what most people saw...

Ok..?? Nascar is going to race the streets of Chicago.
And how do they keep spectators out of harms way? And stop traffic on those streets? Then again..how will it differ from the insane normal commuters?
I suggested to my guy that since he had his Honda up this week, he COULD haul the fenders and box back of my 49 Chevy truck home and finish them and paint them in his shop.
And he did. He already has a few gallons of my car paints by him anyway. Although the black he said is gloss acrylic and won't be the satin I want. I said can't you put the additive in? That didn't sound good to him. So it will be what it ends up. Paints are only 25 years old or so. Shook up fine tho. I want the 49 to look like a good old farmers truck, not some restore. I want bronzed black, but will take what I get I guess. Can always try rattle can gold over the black. Trying for a quasi survivor class.

I’d like to try that run on my old GoKart powered by a 5 hp motor and direct drive by centrifugal force clutch . ...
My bimmer could be this muscle off the line. 
Those were the days….

No matter how aggressive the M3 driver is the M5 just pulls away..... Don't laugh at the M3 driver's gloves. He's a pretty good driver.
Who doesn’t love BMWs?
Bimmers are a class their own. 
Not mine but I do like this one too. 
^^^^^^^^^^~~~~~~~ paddle shifters seem to work well with this type of driving. I’m not sure I could drive using his steering wheel and making sharp turns.
