Ha, that’s good.
The only problem I see is that none of the cars pictured on the can have holes in their sides!
Holes in their sides? You mean like the first of the 3 cars pictured?

Drove mine to Cincinnati and back yesterday evening for a meeting (don't tell the virus police!). 250 miles, almost no car traffic on I-71, just a bunch of trucks that (mostly) stayed in the right lane. So good run to get the old car some exercise. It sounded better when I pulled into my garage last night. Probably just my imagination but still made me happy that I can get practical use out of a 22 year old car.

Looking at this pic, I may have ordered the wrong oil, since the oil I ordered seems to be for black and white cars. Damn my ignorant hide!

Weather has been great here for the last few days, so grabbed my son and we pulled the hard top off this afternoon. Approximately ten minutes later it started raining...
Sigh... Hopefully can make a top-down run tomorrow.
