I'm from a time when you sometimes had to use a matchbook cover as a feeler gauge when you had to reset your 1955 Ford distributor point gap on the side of the road in a rainstorm.

I used them in a 68 Ford F-100 4x4. Hottest plugs you could find with the cheapest, thickest oil. About a quart of oil for 2 gallons of gas.
Spent $75 on an old 390, a weekend later no non-foulers needed.

Speaking of cars - Like many of you, I take my summer car off insurance for the winter. My insurance man sent me a letter reminding me to send him pics of my car before I call him to put it back on the insurance. He needs to make sure that it didn't sustain any damage during the winter when it was off insurance, in case I'm waiting to make a claim.

That reminds me that I haven't bought my retirement car yet. It's top down weather here. Time to start looking again. Thanks for the reminder!

Oh, that is right! I don't recall specifics, but I remember that I liked a number of your short-list contenders.

BugEye!
I don’t post often but I can’t resist a car thread!
I had a BugEye Sprite about 30 years ago and bought another one about 9 years.
I absolutely love BugEyes!

This is my latest ride. I've had a ton of muscle cars over the past 55 years. First was a 1966 SS 396 chevelle I bought new. Back on April 19th 1966 I went with my parents to the local Chevy dealer to buy a 327 L79 nova. I ended up ordering the Chevelle which was in stock. I turned 17 on April 22nd of that year and picked it up on May 6th.

That video was on Youtube from 3 years before I bought the car. The Max Wedge was considered the 1st muscle car in most circles. This was the 8th one built and the first Manual stick shift. So it can be considered the first stick shift muscle car ever built.
