DeTomaso Pantera = Win.

Oldsmobile "donk" = Fail.


Looks like a cool show! That DreamLifter is nuts!

Thanks for the pics, that's one hell of a plane, seems like it would put the C-5 Galaxy to shame. Loved the cars, all of them...even the different ones.

That is so awesome -

Did they let you take the Vette down the runway for a WOT run?

Thanks,Matt

Great pictures.
The Everett Facility is the largest building in the world! As far as size not height. It's where they assemble the 747 and the 777. Been there hundred of times. It's a very impressive building and if you ever are in the area take the facility tour.It's amazing, how these beautiful birds get put together,especially if you don't know. Until I retired, I was in commercial aviation for 35 years and i still get the goose pimple.
I flown the Airbus A380 and the 787 will put it to shame. The only thing i regret about retirements is that I will most likely never wrap my hand onto the joy stick of this babies.

The main plant in Everett is the largest building in the world based on volume.

I was there!!

You must have taken those pics early in the morning, cause I got there around 8 or so? Probably 20 or more cars showed up after you took those pics..

Mine was the '68 Convertible. I even won a trophy! haha

Drivin to the show:









Oh, and I wound up playing around with that Pantera on the way back to the gf's apartment on Dorchester. It was a fast little car! If we would have gone from a stop, then he would have had me, but we were only able to race from a roll (30mph?) and were dead even every time. We had a good chat until we parted ways.

Looks like a sweet little roadster....(if you lowered it about a foot.)

very cool cars. We had an employee car show here (Lockheed Martin) a few weeks ago but it was during work hours and no cameras are allowed.
