My Dad used to wear Fabergé cologne and aftershave. When he passed away, my Mum gave his clothes to charity but kept his uniforms. When she opens the closet you can still smell the fragrance and it triggers a lot of memories.

I used to have to drive around the ABS function in one of my former competition cars, because it was programmed to prevent me from doing what I was intentionally trying to do.....

I had this VW back in the day. The drive in was my favorite place to go with my girlfriend. The back seat was the place to be. We were like pretzels! I cannot imagine doing that now. My back hurts thinking about it. Also, I never did understand what made the windows fog up!
The car is long gone but I still have the same girlfriend! |

check, check, check, check, check, check, check (23 cents is the lowest I remember - gas wars), I grew up in wide open west Texas with big skies, so no worries about smog for us, not too many oil stains either. Except one big oil stain when I somehow got the wrong size oil filter for my 1978 Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham and pumped five quarts of black as night carbon infused oil out in the driveway when I started it up. I’m thinking that was the original Mobil One oil, but I can’t remember for sure. What is that thing they say about memory??

I remember driving my 64 1/2 Mustang 4-speed on a curvy road with the high beams on. I came around a curve in the middle of a shift and a car appears coming the other way! I felt a bit sorry for the other guy as there was no way I was going to dump the clutch to switch off the high beams!

As for the track, continuously relying on ABS in the braking zone is a bad practice that will bite you in the ass someday.
