    I saw a Daytona Spider on my road this afternoon. It sure looked real. I wish I had gotten a picture. It was shockingly beautiful. I hope I see it again soon. 

    Instead, I ended up with a pic of this lackluster Ferrari earlier in the day. 


    Had to look up Daytona Spyder - applaud anyone willing to drive a $2M+ vintage Ferrari on public roads!!
    I had to do a double take at first. It came from an area that has some monster lake houses.

    My FIL was bored so he bought a 66 Grand Prix. He just finished rebuilding the 389 the other day. It runs like a sewing machine. He’s a Sheldon Cooper with it comes to cars and engines in particular. 




    Would love to hear that.

    The 389 was killer when I was in my teens, and I'm was a Ford guy.

    Way to support and congrats for him building his brand.  Gotta embrace the small business entrepreneurship. Some sweet rides.

    great idea double-  we had a great great day there with zero planning ahead.

    downtown was busy / bumper to bumper but we found a parking spot a block or two away. there are tons of places to eat, the easiest “no wait” option is mountain fresh grocery. they have great pizzas, a grill, etc. everything. and $400 bottles of wine right by the checkout.  https://mfgro.com/   
    on the way up we did the mountain coaster.

    @DoubleEgger - I have been doing extensive reading regarding the Great Loop.  I bought the book you served up as a teaser.  Great read and quite enticing.  Even was surfing the boat buy-I did live aboard in Benicia, CA (straight shot thru SF Bay to the Pacific) on a Westsail 32' (Plan A) before Plan B (the sea anchor...) which is where I/we am/are now with boats, never mind in flyover country.  So, it's not gonna happen.  
    However, age and reality set in and I will enjoy thru your journey and posts down the road.  
    I truly hope you will make this happen.

    BaT is also a fantastic reference. there are some really smart people that post in the comments about all types of issues (real and non-) with certain models, years, etc.  vetting condition of most cars is off the charts. have never bought / sold there but would do so if either price was right.

    Unfortunately (or fortunately), storage always seems to be the issue. I’m glad I don’t own a 60x100 out building. I’d be broke if I did.

    Am I the only one that is somewhat taken aback by "$400 bottles of wine right by the checkout"?

    why? isn't that where impulse purchases are typically placed by a store?

    I must be hanging with a cheap crowd and in cheap stores.  "Spend $400 for wine as an impulse buy" isn't a thing in my circles (with maybe one friend who is an exception).
