American Graffiti meets gas pump blues

Teen cruising? When it takes $100 to fill your Dodge pickup, forget about it. NY Times catches up with curbed cruisers in Illinois. Are the teens you know driving less this summer? I am.

There has been a vintage car rally in NWA this past week. I saw some participants. The vintage car was moving approximately 20mph, followed by a hauler in case the car broke down, followed by an antique hauler hauling a vintage car that apparently did break down. Sounds like lots of fun.

The one of a kind 58 Chevy'. The rushed into production car after the 57 Ford out sold Chevy.

That's O.K. to the Bush apologists. All the kid can go the Artic Sailing camp with the cons and neocons kids.

Click on the handle.

Ah . . . Ah . . . Ah . Ahh! It's Fox News not one of those damned liberal Democrat rags.

Then you can go here for a self portrait and still vote for McCain!

Sheesh! A quick round trip between Fort Baptist and Springdale...40 bucks worth of gas didn't cut it...had to get 20 more in Mountainburg on the way back. Ya better like yer wife and kids...yer gonna be seeing a lot more of them from now on. And sure enough.....what we want and need is 4 more years of Republicans! But I forgot.....Pryor and Lincoln are awake and on the job now! Gas will 8 bucks a gallon by the time they're done. Oh where oh where did my country go, oh where or where can it be....

Except that owners of 56' T-birds today get around 24 mpg, slightly better than the average mpg of new cars.

Trick question:

Has this car been shaved and decked or is it a 6 cylinder?
