Looking for that angle

Leave a comment

I’m always looking for a unique or special angle that highlights the wonderful design of automotive or motorcycling styling. It’s a quest I’m going to get better at, this year. I just hope people are out and about with their rides.

In another hour or two the temps here will pass 70 degrees and then I’ll be looking for my keys. I’m going out now to take the cover off my go-cart.

I look at the style of today’s cars, and it doesn’t excite me much. Maybe because everything is a pickup or SUV on the highways. In reviewing the Car and Driver 2026 Editor’s Choice the Best New Cars, Trucks, SUV’s, Vans, Wagons I find very little difference till you get to the Sports Car section and even some of those are getting close.

Luckily the classic car community is alive and well and I’m looking forward to an active 2026 blinded by chrome, overcome by burnt high octane fuel, hearing gone as the V8s roar to life and speechless at the beauty of some of the restorations.

Just one of the many adventures to take advantage of in spring, summer and fall and bring to this blog.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
