Next week I may have a scalding story about what happens when you take your car to a dealer for service. Stay…

How I fell in love with Mopars.

One sweltering hot summer night when I was 9 years old I was playing on the living room floor with my hotwheels cars.

4th Of July And The Acrobatic Cessna.

When I first decided to write a weekly digest, fears ran through me wondering if I could write some thing new every week. The answer is yes and no. The no part, is that my adventures are part of my history so I may have told or written parts of it at other times. The yes part is, there are still years of adventures to share and more to come that I have yet to live…
