While my own
experience with cars is limited to home to school/store to home, I had spent time with my grandson, the car thief. Thank you, dear Lord, for technology. We will watch him grow up.
While his vocabulary was that of a two-year
old (which he was at the time), he had clear vision on the types of cars. There are
three: little cars, big cars, and cool cars. He was quite serious when
he said "COOL cars."
It makes perfect
sense, this division of cars.
Here are some “cool
cars”.

| I tried to remember what this is.... |
Now, given that these
are “cool cars”, there are many cars that used to be the "Kings of Cool Fast Cars". Sadly, they have broadened their
line. Now the cool cars are really expensive, and not that cool.

| Not your father's Maserati |
The Dukes of Hazard and Magnum P.I. must weep at the devolution of the cool fast cars.
P.S. The Mustang is still the Mustang. You can see them at this site.

| I need to get better cars, some cool cars. These are not. |
The love of cars has pretty much passed me by. Mind you I MUCH prefer the shape of the old cars to the modern ones. I hope your surgery went well.
ReplyDeleteThe shapes of the old cars are pieces of art.
DeleteI love 'em all. I especially love that little car thief! I loved 'playig cars' as a kid, maybe that is my trouble today. LOL Beautiful cars. It does me good to just see 'em.
ReplyDeleteHope all is going well with you! take it easy and be safe... ;-)
Going well. Hand is healing nicely, but needs the time to mend.
Deletemy hubby is like your grandson, has been since birth and still is at 85. he is still all about the cool cars and most of those are from his growing up years. we both love car shows, OLD cars Cool Old Cars, not the new cars
ReplyDeleteI am hoping there will be the vintage car show this year! I enjoy the pick-ups from the 50s.
DeleteThe yesteryear cars had more hood space.
ReplyDeleteThey had lots of room every where. Our family of 7 fit in one no problem.
DeleteThat Judge is sweet! The closest I came was Dad's cream-colored '67 Impala with a small block, but my nephew was a big block Chevelle head with whom I had quite a few adventures.
ReplyDeleteThose cars were impressive.The cars were huge.
DeleteIf it gets me to work and back, it's cool enough for me. How sad is that?
ReplyDeleteHeh. I am with you there.
DeleteThe car buffs like to gather locally from time to time. One of these days I might take a look, but not likely. So many cool cars.
ReplyDeleteMy gr-daughter (age 14) wanted to get a Shelby GTO.
DeleteI like that bright blue one, it reminds me of the Australian Monaro of the 60s, but the others are all too big and square for my liking.
ReplyDeleteThe era of big cars wouldn't work for me. Nice to look at...
DeleteThe blue car looks nice. I also like old vintage cars.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
My first new car was a 68 Dodge Charger. That thing would get up and scoot!
ReplyDeleteThese are cool cars for sure, especially that blue one. I remember driving in my best friend's shiny blue Mustang. That car took us everywhere. Thanks for the fond memories.
