Cruise in/show was fab as expected. First, let me apologize to the folks who run it, the charity was for cystic fibrosis, not leukemia. Out of the Park home run, the event raised $740,000. That’s not bad.
Plenty of eye candy for the Ranger/bronco lovers
Also, a lot of first class vintage iron
And I always get a giggle when some rich guy buys some really great car, but doesn’t quite know how to drive it. There was one spot left in my little row, and this guy came with his racing Corvette. He backed it back-and-forth about four or five times before he got embarrassed enough to just drive it away, but it was a fabulous car
Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible that looks like it rode out of the showroom. At 225 inches it’s 5 inches shorter than my Mark V. I guess you could call it a midsize.
And what’s a good car and bike show without a wicker motorcycle?
In keeping with the cause, the live entertainment, the great crowd, they got barbecue that I swear is from the joint upstairs. When you get to the Pearly gates, if you give the password to Saint Peter, this barbecue joint is just inside on the right. Absolutely to die for.
When I go to these things with the Road Ranger, I usually wait till it’s pretty cleared out before I leave. I wouldn’t want to scratch any of that candy. Life is an adventure. I picked everything up and loaded it up, tied Lincoln down, got in and turned the key, cranks, but won’t start.
I checked the fuses and a couple things and finally looked online, and one suggestion was to bump the bottom of the gas tank in case the fuel pump isn’t engaging. I asked around if anybody had a little hammer or something. One guy had a double blade broad axe! I told him I wanted to bump the pump, not chop it out! We bumped the bottom of the tank with the handle a few times, turned the key in it fired right up. I have a question on that in the what did you do with your Ranger today section.
And of course the adventure continues, my alternator light was on for the few miles I drove home. 318,000 miles and is giving me trouble already.!
Oh, and one last car to look at. When was the last time you saw one and a half million dollars sitting right in front of you?
