Always good hearing from you.

Yikes! I'll be 77 in October, but still just as old as my father when he was my age...

Welcome from the bright sunny Arctic. You're making some great choices.

In some ways the Stude Avanti was--and still is--the road version of the SR-71...

What variety? Shelby 350 or 500? How about a Delorean or maybe a '61 Studebaker Avanti? I joke; it's just kinship. I'll be 77 come October...

I'm as old as my father when he was my age.
