The Classy Driving the Classic - Priceless

A friend of mine sent me this video and I just had to pass it along. This woman is 101 years old and drives an 81 year old classic car - on which she can change the oil and the spark plugs..... neither of which I can do, by the way.

 

 

She is totally adorable and so proud of her car. Check out at the end how she uses the little red towel to step on the running board without getting it dirty, then brings it with her to use at her destination.  Enjoy.....

 

 



I love this woman and hope I am half as spry as she is when I am her age... Gives new meaning to the Little Old Lady from Pasadena.....

This week's theme is FREEBIE! We went to Celebration's Annual Exotic Car Show this weekend and saw some AWESOME cars, including the largest collection of Ferraris and DeLoreans in one place, plus cars from TV and movies.

It is the 5th largest and respected exotic car show in the U.S. It is held for charity, including Special Olympics. There are several celebrities who show up for the events during the entire weekend. Because of all the fabulous cars that we saw, I am focusing on songs that feature cars this week... hope you enjoy my songs and some photos from the show......

This one is a dedication to my hubby, Bill, he owned a 1965 (the year I was born, TeeHee) gold GTO, marker number EP69... Here's to you sweetie!

please put disclaimer BEFORE the video.

The New Car I've Decided I Want

{Image Credit}

My husband got this video from a friend of his and I saw it and fell in love with this car... I told Bill that since he is retired, I want him to make one for me. Hey, we live in Florida and it is warm most of the year here, it is the perfect car for the two of us and we could put the doggies in the back.





Doesn't it look perfect for us?

Ruby Tuesday: Bill's "New" Car (He Wishes)

Welcome to Ruby Tuesday..... Today's post is from a fantastic Classic Car Show and Music Fest that Bill and I went to over the weekend, that was held at a local winery. Bill saw this car that was available for sale... too bad we didn't bring an extra $25,000.00 with us? :-)

Don't forget to stop by Mary's blog Work of the Poet to add your post on the link.

Until next time..... Lorie.

Mellow Yellow Monday - September 27, 2009

Drowsey Monkey over at Mellow Yellow Monkey began this meme in her words:

"I chose yellow for this photo meme because it's my favourite colour and I think the world is always better with a splash of yellow ... whether it's in your home or in nature. "

Here is my contribution for this week, it is also from the car show:

To enjoy another beautiful photo, head on over to Maria's Space... and don't forget to link up your post to the Mellow Yellow blog.
