My dad's first car, back in the 1950s was a '50 or '51 Mercury coupe.

Club has a 60 mile ride with a long climb that I like. Don't know if I'll feel up to it. There's also a century and 3 other rides but it's supposed to be over 100. We'll see in the a.m.

My dad actually owned the Triumph, but it was my daily-driver. Taught myself how to drive a stick-shift on that car.

In a funk again. Three weeks ago I was all about all the miles. Then last week, weather, fatigue hindered my ride time. This week I am rested, but all motivation seems too be gone. Today around mile 20 I didn’t want to be on my bike anymore. Over all my body just feels weak. Not sure, what’s that about.
Was suppose to go to the blue ridge parkway tomorrow but the wife has to work in the afternoon, so I’m going to do the only logical thing I can think of.
CENTURY of the CENTURY.
I don’t have high expectations.

My first car, bought new when I was in grad school, was a 1981 Civic 1500DX. The discs warped, the engine pinged, the exhaust system rotted off, and then LSS, who had only suffered for a year or so in that legal capacity, turtled it on Storrow Dr. in Boston. We crawled out and and bought a 1986 Golf GTI the same day.

i miss seeing geo on the road. That geo metro was a beautiful machine. Also, if you every got stuck under one, a strong woman could pick it up.

I test drove a Geo Metro, circa 1990, when I was looking for a commuter car. I did not buy it.

Speaking of the Geo Prizm, I wish one of the hot hatchbacks would show up for cheap, but you don't see many.
