I see those shots and always worry a bit if the parking brake is set good and firmly and the car was left in gear (Ugh! I can't help it.)

I changed spark plugs in the 63 yesterday. I must be getting better at it because, even with the shielding I was done in about 40 minutes.... I'll try to get the car out briefly this morning before the afternoon Florida monsoons arrive -- then I have in-laws coming for two weeks. They aren't "car people"; "horse and hay" folks from Oklahoma. I love em dearly but our interests are a bit far apart...

Oh, trust me, I was very nervous and very, very careful. It was a long ways down.

Those 7 day weekends are the best. It is approaching 11yrs of those for me already.

Yeah.. I thought about photochopping him out... but it's "Charger Steve", the organizer of the event!
(He needs a new name now that the Chargers have left San Diego!)
