2 cars for sale

Well, I finally put the Silver Bullet up for sale at IPD, and the Merc sedan up on Craig's List.

More IPD Goodness

Man, if I'd known about these a few years ago, I could have saved the 240 owners I know a good chunk of change.

Trick track bike

When addictedtowheels came to Ojai for a much-anticipated visit two weeks ago, he helped me to finally lace up the wheels for the new bike build I have been collecting parts for over the last 6-8 months. I got the frame yesterday in the mail, and this morning I put it all together. The biggest reason for this bike is to have something to do tricks on, and this one can do barspins and is geared down a little for easier wheelies and riding backward.

...We'll see if I can actually develop the talents for doing such things.

It's pretty much a full-on hipster machine however; much more so than I anticipated when buying parts one at a time...but I love it.

Volvo roof rack

It's all done except for spraying it with bedliner! I am amazed that I succeeded in getting it so straight and square...it dropped into the rain rails perfectly, first try. Had to modify the hold-down clamps slightly, but it came out alright. Now it's all set for an old tire, a vintage Coca-Cola cooler, and a bunch of battered suitcases.

Just kidding...

Today at the Ventura Motorsports car show Charlie got to be the first Cools or Hayden (that we know of) to sit in a real Ferrari---and not just any Ferrari---a 1963 250 GTL! When he is old enough to understand what it's all about, he's sure to be car guy for life, whether he likes it or not!
