    Took Best in Show - Best Custom today!!

    Woah! Went to the Merrick LI Car Show today on a whim, only found out about it yesterday. Lots of great cars, about a hundred maybe. When they awarded the trophies we won one of the five Best in Show trophies, we took Best Custom with the El Camino which was a total shock, I never expected that.

    A very sad day today

    Well today was a very sad day. I said goodbye to my 1951 Fiat Topolino. Not many people can say that they have literally grown up in one car. My Dad bought this car for my Mom in Italy in December of 1950 when I was three months old. - I rode, slept, cried, and pooped in the back as a baby. -...

    Zaino Z16 Tire Gloss AMAZING

    While I may be a dedicated Zaino user I must confess I never tried Z16 Tire Gloss. So when Sal so graciously sent me a sample bottle when I placed an order I tried it on one brand new, one day old tire. I had just put new tires on the El Camino so none of them had ever seen any kind of tire...

    Took First + Mercedes SLR Mclaren

    I took First in Class with the Elky this past Sunday at the Bar Beach Car Show. At one point a new Mercedes SLR McLaren pulled in and parked right behind me. Attracted quite a crowd. I have to say, this was the most unimpressive near million dollar car I've ever seen. It had the strangest paint...
