Your mother sent me this via email and I decided to cop it and put it up here – apologies to the copyright holder, if there is one… It took me a little while to appreciate that these are the “signs of life” of your (or somebody’s) vehicle. Some of them I recognise, others are strange to me, but my car is a 12-year-old gasoline-burner. Also, it looks like the author is a Brit, judging by the choice of some words.

Anyway, I got a good chuckle out of it, but I have to admit there are things I did not understand. Duhh… (sorry ’bout that!)

Here are some video goodies I happened to find by total accident.

But first… Our “new” car (well, it is to us!! And the price was right!)

Now for the interesting stuff! This is a series of videos I found that I think are pretty cool – but I do know about a few of these unusual vehicles – sign of age, I guess! The series is called “Cars You Never Knew Existed!”

Part 3:

The Collectors Dream!

and, The Nightmare!

Hope you enjoyed them!

Since Mom (Susan) and Dad (Craig) took David to sports car gymkahanas in Houston and Pasadena (TX) when he was still very young (like less than 1 year old) he has turned into and remained a true Formula 1 (“Grand Prix” if you prefer) fan. We know that Nataly and David do at least one or two GP’s per year, but we don’t know the exact count.

Here are some cool pix from various Grand Prix races and vehicles …
