I hope that article is accurate. It has been years since I have been in Florida in the spring so maybe they have diminished in number. I remember living there in the spring they would be so thick at times you had to stop every 10 miles or so to clean them off the windshield just to see the road...

May is love bug season in Florida so if you have never heard of them, you will appreciate having the nose bra to protect the front of your car from them. They are black 1/2 inch sized bugs that congregate in masses on the roadways that will completely cover the front of your car and windshield...

I have never been around Daytona speedway. I have been around Talladega more times than I can count on a motorcycle when I worked for Harley at Talladega test facility in research and development on the V-rod from 98 till 09. I have not been around Dega in a car either. My first trip around...

I am not sure if there are any strips on the east coast near Daytona but there is Orlando speed world just east of Orlando on highway 50 that's been there years and one in Bradenton on the west coast near Tampa. The one in West Palm Beach near Ft Lauderdale recently closed down sadly. Those...

It was very easy to light the tires in it for sure. You really had to feather the throttle to get it to hook up and go without smoking the tires. BD

Yea if I had todays tires it might not have spun out so easy. The tri power was basically like a light switch either on or off. The outer carbs were both 500 CFM so it went from a 355 CFM center carb to 1000 CFM of dumpers at the press of the pedal. If I just dumped the clutch and floored it, it...

Caddy drove away, I did not. I hit the left front of caddy with right rear of goat behind the rear tire, and it moved entire trunk and frame 1 1/2 feet to the left, caddy had small dent in front bumper, ding in front corner of left fender and broken outer headlamp. Think of Yugo hitting a...

I had a 64 tri power goat that I wrecked hitting a 72 caddy on a wet road when I forgot the outer carbs linkage was still connected to the center carb from the previous night's racing, car immediately went into 360 degree spin. BD

It was cool to see it in person and even at 8 years old I knew it was something different and unique. I just wish I could remember if I saw the mustang as well, but it just did not make the impression the Chrysler did if I did see the mustang. BD

I will second all the above indeed, both Leno and Allen are true gearheads to the core. I would love to hang out with either one. BD

I said fake turbine (lights) sticking out the back, never said it was not turbine powered. I believe it had a Bell Huey helicopter engine in it. I was 8 years old and that was many many years ago. BD

Yep, just like how the 64 GTO was an option ordered at the dealer level to get the 389 or 421 in the Tempest/Lemans that was only supposed to have a 326 or 350 to sneak in under the corporates radar. It did not get its own VIN until 67. BD

390 AMX was a fast cool car in its day for sure. BD

I was also at the 64 World's Fair in NY at 8 years old as well, but don't remember the mustang however I do remember the space age Maroon Chrysler that had the fake jet turbine engine lights sticking out of the middle of the rear end trunk area. BD

Lookin good, almost looks like carpet. BD

Happy Birthday Mustang. I was 8 years old when me and my dad walked into Kelly Ford in Melbourne, FL where he bought our brand new 64 1/2 burnt orange 289 V8 mustang. BD

You will love it in Florida I am sure of it, and your Mach will like it as well. I do miss my time in Florida back in my youth with all there is to do there. If you respect the gators, they will respect you as well. BD

Hurricanes, tornadoes, severe storms and fires affect the whole country so it really does not matter where you live you will have to deal with some form of disastrous events regardless. Life is too short to not enjoy where you live. BD

So, you get to keep the damaged rotor and have the funds to buy another new rotor. BD
