Cool My wife and I went to the roadster show Thursday..

And I was wondering who owned the three cobras there...no one around to claim ownership, that we could see?
1) A silver ERA from Oregon
2) A black FFR from WA
3) A Red Classic w/white stripes

The star of the show in my opinion was the 1940 Ford Phaeton, by Steve's auto restorations of Portland, Oregon. It was an unbelieveable work of art with extensive shaved brass trim which was chromed, and Chuck Barr, the general manager, took me inside the rope to peek under the hood and inside the car's interior, that is until one of the show monitors came over and told him he could not take folks inside the ropes to show his OWN car! These people (the people who run the exposition center) are your average Seattle liberals, they even wanted to search my wife's purse when we entered, after paying $13.00 each to get in to a (totally peaceful) exposition, and $8.00 for parking in a nearly empty garage!!! I think the guys doing the entrance "search" felt pretty bad about it, actually.

Seattle. I usually love it, but sometimes....
