Just A Car Guy: 11/3/24

I was talking to a guy at SEMA that had just brought a car there, and I can't recall what one, who has had a dozen Probes, all variety and special editions, EXCEPT the base model plain Jane version.

I had one too, a 83, stick shift, 4" factory sub woofer, it was really fun to corner with!

It's a start

In the beginning, men became fed up with walking.

Then they realized that horses left horseshoes, nails, and piles of manure in the roads

Soon, the marvelous elixir of gasoline was concocted, Charles Goodyear discovered the method of vulcanizing rubber.... and the birth of the internal combustion engine happened, roughly about the same time, and Voila! Some smart guy put it all together, and the human race began rolling around with engines powering wagons and the horse became obsolete

The automobile was on it's way to changing human culture, art, and transportation.

this has me wondering... since it's not chain drive, belt drive, or CV joint... what's it called? Bridgeport Mill controls? (Bike was built and went to shows in 2018-2019) "The General" Western and Atlantic Rail Road, by Dream Fish Customs

hard to fathom that this 93 Probe GT is a 31 year old car.... the design still looks contemporary for sports cars to me.

1971 Torino Cobra, coming to auction

SEMA has announced its industry-leading SEMA Magazine is now available to everyone for free in a digital format ( I have not seen a single issue of this while at SEMA this past week)

50 issues of Vintage Camper magazine for only 50 dollars, only on Veteran's Day, Nov 11th. The current issue and 49 of the past issues that are still available in print.

Canadian officials announced plans to introduce tariffs on Chinese imports this summer, a 100 percent tariff on imported Chinese EVs

looks like a little rocket! Made by Petrolhedonism (great brand name) and Dipmonkey Garage

SEMA even had some kids cars!

I love a work truck, especially a real vintage one, that gets a 2nd life with a new undercarriage and power train

Hard to tell what this could have been before someone went blind. I think it was a CRX based on the windows

one of two Meyers Manx at SEMA this year

68 Valiant they stuffed a Hellcat engine into at Steve Shepard customs

I think this is the 1st 68 Coronet I've seen at SEMA...
