Hey, that site says I'm popular! :headbang

That video was from a Friday Night Cruise in last year in Downers Grove, IL. I get around. :)
Car didn't make it back home from Chicagoland. :(
3 weeks and two tows later, it made it back, thanks to Jeff @ Merkur Midwest.

I'm not a Certified Merkur Technician (the shirt days I am), but I play one on YouTube.

Too frikkin hot to show this weekend. 105 degree heat index!

It's shiny on the inside, too!
Some of us gotta keep 'em nice or you end up with the '78 Dodge Omni Situation.
