I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    It pains me to see a Trans-Am in that kind of shape :cry


    You must have some kind of radar for finding these old cars/wagons, etc.

    Hi Randy,

    I hear you about the pain.....I had a '74 Trans Am 455 SD; certainly one of the all-time favorite cars I've owned.

    I spend so much time roving the back roads and countryside of the Blue Ridge Mountains that I can't help but come across this kind of scene on a regular basis. Old cars, trucks, and other equipment litter the roadside like you wouldn't believe.

    Take care,

    Tom

    Howdy Tom,

    What a neat find, looks like it went right from the last race to where you
    found it, kind of a sad fate for a gallant warrior.

    Great find!!!
    Take care,

    Hey Gary and Craig,

    This old car is actually located not far from my mountain house. I pass by it all the time. The story behind it always amazed me. Out of respect for the family, I won't take a picture of their house or the spread they live on....suffice it to say that those would rank at the lower end of anyone's scale. In spite of that background of struggle, the old man and his son managed to race this car on a fairly consistent basis. Sadly, his son died a couple of years ago from cancer and the car has set there since.

    Very nice Tom. Every time I see your posts from your "mountain home" I regret giving up my cabin in the Adirondacks. Just never could convince my lovely new wife how much fun life without indoor plumbing could be. :D (And it had a two holer too!)

    Hey Jack,

    Man, I can't believe you let a true two-holer get away. You couldn't have blasted that thing out of my grips with a sack of dynamite. I can appreciate your wife's perspective, though :D .

    Take care,

    Tom
