. . . I got hours ahead of me and hours I just keep burning away. . . The absurd cost of a tank of gas has put me off random drive-arounds, and except for a quick trip in the G to a reunion of friends in Daytona Beach (one of whom is now driving […]
Stories About Cars
Of all the possible things for me to focus on–women, or fine art, or making a buck; the whitewater wash of a river, skyscrapers, and possibly, Hillary as President of Us All, I tend to focus mostly on the automobile. It’s been a long and determined focus, too, one stretching back to my “learning the […]
One Year Anniversary
It’s been just a year since I cashed in my 350Z for a G coupe, a year since I abandoned the “350Z Forum” site and brought my allegiance and insight over to NICO, a year since my cute little granddaughter landed on the planet. A year ago, I was paying around $2.40.9 for the high […]
SkidMarks Introduction
JHof – an introduction I just recently said a short goodbye to another forum after being a regular member there since April of ’03 when I finally got a hold of my new Z and had tons of stuff to post about. But, that website is devoted solely to 350s, and has no room for […]
And now a Hurricane
One of the reasons I chose to live in the little nowhere town of Ocala is its distance from the Atlantic or the Gulf. After living in coastal Ft Myers and low-lying Tampa for over 30 years without a significant storm affecting me, I decided that my string was about played out and the Law […]
Gas Rant
The “low fuel” light on the gas gauge in the dash of my G Coupe began blinking, a sight as rare as chicken lips. I pulled into a nearby Kangaroo, pumped in 17 plus gallons and, chit, I just spent $71.00 to fill the tank!!!Never in my existence have I spent that much for a […]
Day of the Cobra…A Mountain Story
[This story appeared previously (Oct 2003) on a site devoted to 350Zs. At the time I had owned my Z for about 6 months. I’ve reprinted it exactly as it appeared]. “. . . I was alone, I took a ride, I didn’t know what I would find there. . . “ I was in […]
Busted in Georgia
It’s about 1 AM, on a Sunday. I’d been on the road for nearly 5 hours. I was in central Georgia, just south of Macon, returning home after attending a friend’s wedding in Nashville and I was hungry so I got off the Interstate and pulled into a popular roadside restaurant. The menu featured an […]
A Supercar Buffet
They were clustered by the dozens in neat groups. The Audis were under the trees, the Rollers & Bentleys were by the tents, right next to the Aston-Martins; Ferraris (Oh, God, the FERRARIS !!!) were grouped along the fence and the Lambo’s were lined up with mathematical precision along the path. The Germans had their […]
Coming Back From Nashville
I’d had enough. A couple weeks ago I was bored silly from just sitting around watching cobwebs form on my Infiniti. My computer had gotten infected and had become useless, and I was re-reading books I read in college. The only thing on TV was the markets crashing, and I was REALLY bored with that. […]
