The Fun Starts Here

“We use these old vehicles as therapy for ourselves” .

Let’s all get in the time machine and take a ride backwards...

I am sure that a lot of you gearheads get asked the same question that I get…”why do you have that old car or truck)?” The question usually comes from a non-gearhead or casual observer at some event or in the parking lot when you are out shopping with your pride and joy.

Recently I have taken to telling folks that what they actually see in front of them is a very sophisticated wayback/time machine (if you’re as old as me you see Mr. Peabody & Sherman in your mind now...or look them up).

Isn’t that what these vehicles really are to all of us who own them & drive them. Think about it for a minute...when we get in our “old” car or truck and turn the key on, we really are transporting ourselves back to a happy time in life. We forget all the stuff going on in the world and our focus is on having fun and nothing but fun the whole time we are with our vehicle.

Go do it right now...jump in YOUR wayback machine and have some fun...now let me set the date on the my wayback machine to fun... “Drive ’Em Don’t Hide ’Em”

These cars and trucks take us back to when we were younger (much

younger for some of us) and we didn't have many cares in the world.

We want that feeling...we need that feeling.

We use these old vehicles as therapy for ourselves. Having a bad day...jump in and take a 100 mile drive and when you come back home you are calm cool and HAPPY! I venture to say that for most of us, the “old” vehicle we have now is much nicer than what we had when we were much younger. I know it is for myself. When I am driving the 32 Coupe, I do think back to when I used to “cruise the loop” in my hometown and hanging out with my friends back then,...good time for sure.
