Panther Outtake: Safe And Sound From Salt, But Darn, I Can’t Drive It!
Posted on December 14, 2013 | 37 CommentsBuying my Panther has been a double-edged sword of late. For while I love the car and prefer it to the Volvo on nice days, snow, snow and more darn […] -
Is It Bigger Than A Town Car: 1973 Super Beetle – Um, No
Posted on November 28, 2013 | 27 CommentsOkay, today is a holiday (for you U.S. CCers anyway), and there’s probably not a whole lot of folks reading CC–with such pressing matters as turkey, football and dessert! But […] -
