Where did you and your car go today

Drove to the grandsons baseball games. Wife and I just enjoy burning some premium. 5 year old grand daughter had her first ride in the Plymouth she loved it, every time i would gas it a bit she would giggle and say this car is fast.

As long as it is started & dirty may as well wheel it a bit, come on man!
I was thinking the same thing, RC, Let The Horses Run, if only a short run. You've worked hard, now get with it!!!
 
I'm so proud of my Roadrunner today! Went for a cruise, stopped to check something and just for fun this happened! Had to back up and check it after the smoke cleared!!! Best burnout ever!

Love the hood, sweet view. Nice black street tattoo you left for all to see!!
 
Drove the Coronet to Mom's new house to hang curtains. Took Mom on an unplanned trip to the Walmart to exchange curtains. Used Mom's handicap sign to park by the front door. Everyone staring like they just saw a celebrity. Mom got a kick out of folks telling her, "Hey, nice car!" Mom is 81.

On a side note, it was in the 90s and the car ran a lot cooler, even with the AC on. I had just installed a new water pump and 160 degree thermostat from FlowKooler. I was using the stock 6 blade water pump and a Stant Superstat 160 degree. Temps were going up above 200 F while waiting in the fast food drive through. So, I'd say the FlowKooler worked and was money/time well spent.
 
This morning went to St. helena then Calistoga.

I felt very welcome everywhere.
 
Me and father in law just went out for a nice evening trip. Made some stops and took some shots!

Off to the Daughters again for the 25 mile run each way. Rolled my Speedo over the 57,000 mile mark on the way. I had fixed her main pool leak 2 weeks back, with her underwater light housing leaking, but she was still losing water. Return lines are cracked somewhere so I corked them and ran her a temp return across the ground. #1 Son also showed up and with a fish we found how far in the return line T was and he dug that up so at least the Daughters husband can take it from there and isolate which return line is cracked using his pressure test stuff from his plumbing truck. Of course he was off somewhere with his Father and rightfully so. Even got a Father's Day lunch for my work! 32C (90F) and the Bee ran nicely right on the Stat with zero issues, highway and in town. 22" x 2 core stock -053 OE radiator! Came home to a little Buck "cutting" the runway grass for me.

Took it out for a cruise to the local burger joint in the rain. Just my boys and I. Cleared up this afternoon and turned out to be a nice day.
 
After making repairs on my naughty car that had popped
up at the last minute en masse and had prevented me from going to the Shcelville airport's Cars & Vintage 'Planes (intead of coffee) yesterday :nutkick:I decided the best way to get over the fear of breaking down was to haul *** in near 100* temps to where there was no cell service and drive around a couple of hours.
So drove out to Pope Valley and to Lake Berryessa and back.
There are a LOT of very long, lonely & straight stretches of road out there. One must exercise the utmost restraint at all times or one may find one's self exceeding the speed limit. Unintentionally, of course...

Needless to say I have forgiven the old thing and we're on good terms again. 9B507BFF-37FB-4D0D-B1C0-46E7C5A74E96.jpeg

I took the Coronet to a local weekly cruise in tonight held each Tuesday at the Boomerang Grill. I pulled in and was immediately surrounded. I guess they do that with any car they have not seen before. An elderly gent walked up and asked me 20 questions then gave me a token for a free burger. I parked by the 76-77? Police car. There was also a white Dodge pickup with a 392 hemi nicely done. The weather was super nice and so were the folks I met. I like the T-bucket, the 66 Corvair, the Cop car I parked beside and of course the Dodge with the hemi. I too a few cell phone photos to share. BTW, they no longer have the huge cruise along 12th Street in Moore. I heard the Cops had to shut it down for too many complaints of people breaking the rules on revving and burnouts.

I got my to-do list done sooner than expected and it was a broiler here today so I decided to go to the coast.

But didn't make it because of construction delays (NOT going to sit still in that car in the sun for 30 minutes!
So I detoured through Santa Rosa, then up 101.
Was still going to try for the coast but saw all the traffic headed that way so I just went on up the highway past Healdsburg and on to the Alexander Valley exit.
Fate was with me (along with the HEAT-3pm now)and traffic was all going the other way.
Blah, blah, blah- the usual...

I was HAPPY to see the Taco Truck was back in business!
Hasn't been there in months...Another 'excuse' to go for a drive in the old car!

So anyway, I ended up back home at just after 4pm.
The hottest part of the day.
I guess all I really wanted to do all along was go for a drive.
Right then!
