a train near Ptbo
(Preview)
I find that the cruise nights aren't quite as exciting to me anymore. I even leave the shows early now. It is nice to meet with people and meet new people but a lot of time at the shows is just sitting when I could be driving on a beautiful summer day. So with that in mind, if there are any groups out there or in...

My dash isn't from a model A so I could never open or close my door windows unless I opened the doors first. The dash was too close to the...
