Re: Mixed Feelings
Hi Tom, That is sad but understandable news. All of us only rent our cars for awhile, and I know your passion means that the new owner must have met your high standards to have bought the car. I am sure it will be in caring hands. We love to "play" with a vintage Mercedes too, so don't be a stranger...

Re: RIP David E. Davis
I cut my teeth on his magazines too. Sad news. The amazing thing about him was he could write and talk about a broad array of topics, not only cars. A true man of the world. He anticipated the appetities of a car-crazy nation before any others.

Re: Best spark plug for 330 gtc
Steve,
Take it to work every now and then, particularly if a meeting is out of the office. A ding or two won't hurt and the car will be happier. I often use mine when I have client meetings out of town.

Re: FCA 2011 - Savannah
My wife and I are flying down on Wednesday, staying at the Mansion on Forsyth Park across the river from the Westin (my wife wanted a Spa hotel & no room @ the Westin). We are going to spend some time driving around the area sightseeing (may retire someday and Savannah is a possibility) so will prob...

Re: I have siiiiiiiiiiiiined !!!
i am good for a round of drinks, and penannce has been recited. Not to mention that a bigger garage will bring something vintage back, one day. A C4, a 246 Dino, or even an Espada (yes, I am the one person who likes them) will lure me back. For now...a Caddy will not make me miss carbs and drum bra...

Re: GTO at the track
Tom, You the man! It sounds so much better than my C/4 did @ Road America. Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us. Andrew S.....Many tracks in the US do have noise restrictions too. Lime Rock comes to mind. Although built in an old gravel pit in the far northwestern corner of Connecticut, th...

My solution is shown below. Tom Kizer A new cottage industry! Well done Tom - the engineer peaks through. When we first started our company we had an office in the cramped financial district. In the garage we had to use there was a Rolls Royce that parked in the same spot each day. He had a setup o...
