The little cars I am talking about are in the video below. They are probably the only “Dwarf” cars in the world. Take a look and tell me you would not love one of these lil guys.

I often wondered how long it would be before hot rodders ran out of the old classic cars to soup up, and the cars of the sixties would become new fodder for them. It has happened. Muscle cars are the new rage and some of them are pretty nice. My cousin sent me a video of one which I totally fell in love with. First, because I love the car design and always did, but also because this car truly befits the muscle car category. When a hot rodder packs six hundred horsepower into a car, it should not be a teensy little Ford Falcon. That vision is not befitting the term muscle care. When he puts the same engine into a big ass Cadillac the motor befits the ride.

Any story that makes me feel good is a gem. I love old cars, and emotional stories about man’s spirit and determination to succeed. This particular story has both elements. This husband-wife team are a prime example of why people get married. True love unites and joins the couple in amazing ways. He works to please her and she works to please him. Together they overcome adversity to bring joy to each other. Watch this video and tell me if this couple doesn’t represent everything needed to succeed in marriage.

On 13 May 2010, I posted a cartoon in which I stated “We are a Nation of laws that are convenient to enforce or to disregard depending on the advantage to the elected.“
Recently, Senator Harry Reid’s son Rory supported the truth of my statement when he proudly proclaimed: “We believe in a country in which we are subject to laws and you can’t just ignore the laws we don’t like. I think clearly if state and local prosecutors look at this more closely, they’re going to find that he broke the law and he should be prosecuted. that we are a nation bound by law and we should prosecute those who break them.”
What Harry’s son seems to conveniently forget, or has simply disregarded, is the fact that President Obama and his Attorney General disregard any law they don’t like. Obama regularly changes his signature health care law illegally. He choses to disregard the work requirement in the welfare law, and he has totally trashed the laws on illegal entrance to the country, the list goes on.
I have but one question? Why aren’t Eric Holder, and Barack H. Obama in prison for breaking the laws they don’t like? In each one of these law breaking instances Obama is bound by oath to the Constitution to work with Congress to change the laws to show the changes. He swore to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the land. Why hasn’t Obama been impeached?
Instead, we saw an army of heavily armed and militant Bureau of Land Management workers descend upon a Nevada ranching family for the mere act of trespass on supposed government land. Evidently, Obama must feel powerless against the likes of Voldamir Pudin, therefore, he must flex his federal muscles against a harmless American rancher trying to eke a living raising cattle.
How long will it be that one of many SWAT Teams from heavily bureaucratic agencies descend upon you for some minor infraction of some obscure law? When will they break down your front door, and drag you in chains to jail for the infraction? Or worse, surround your home with a thousand armed bureaucrats with itchy trigger fingers and blow you to kingdom come.

Finally, I got to see some really old cars, some of them older than me. What really surprised me Saturday were two Buick’s one year apart which were identical models. Both were immaculately restored to perfection. Sadly, the show was so well attended that getting great pictures was nearly impossible, but I tried nonetheless.
The seventy-five year old Buick convertible with twin side mount spare tires has a rumble seat and straight eight engine producing 140 HP. Owner Gordy bragged about how his car would get to 110 mph in eleven seconds. That is impressive for a heavy pile of metal. Gordy’s Century is the same age as me, but in better physical condition, and more capable of picking up fast women.

1939 Buick Century Convertible Coupe
Oh yes, there were a few other cars at the show too. The cutest was the Pepto Bismol pink Studebaker with it companion pink golf cart.
The Best Looking Golf Cart I’ve Seen
The car that really got my juices flowing is a highly modified 1937 Ford convertible coupé done in gold. This car looks better than most 2014 models of today. I would take it in a second.
I am in love with this one
The rest of the show worth looking at.
