So, I got back from my little road trip in the 930 (1800 miles round trip) to the Monterey peninsula, I was giving a couple of tickets to the Pebble beach concours and had a friend I could stay with out there.
So I went to something that is not really my thing.
As I looked at these absolutely beautiful cars that are really the standard of perfection in restoration, I became kind of sad. I started to relies that most of these cars will never be used again for what they were built for, incredible transportation.
They have become stationary objects of art, occasionally putting around at low speed.
The wipers will never be used, the fenders will never keep water off the car while blasting down the road, the heaters will never make a cozy cocoon for the drivers.
The engines will never be opened up to full 'song' again.
They all pretty much have become shadows of their former, very dynamic glory, to become stagnant objects with very limited movement.
Yes, some people drive their cars but most of them will never be used again as wonderful transportation.
How I value and use cars is dramatically different than many others.
