55 Fargo Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Hey all, My 9 YO Son insisted we go for a ride at dusk. Ended up going for about a 20 mile ride, drove into town (Selkirk), then headed home, it was a nice ride, cool night, also drove him to school, it was darn near to the freezing point this morning, and the heater had the car toasty warm....

Dan Hiebert Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Good to hear your son is enthusiastic about the old Chrysler. I tried for years to get my kids into the old car thing. My daughter caught on (she drives a 63 Falcon that I'm "re-restoring" right now as a college graduation gift), but my son just wasn't interested. As irony would have it, now he's an auto mechanic. Driving these old Mopars at night is a blast, the dash-lights are nice and mellow, and because they're real glass the headlights and tail lights have a great "sparkle" to them. Not to mention the reflection of the street and other outdoor lights rolling off the curves and trim. I drove the D24 in to work a couple times last week - "O-dark-thirty" - rather brisk and I've never gotten around to fixing my heater (needs a new motor), but well worth it. Quote
1940plymouth Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Good that you and your son were out and about Quote
P-12 Tommy Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Glad you had fun. Those are things he'll never forget. Tom Quote
55 Fargo Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Posted September 23, 2011 Thanx Guys, I know there are Members who do not care for, plain old boring photos of a just a cruise... Quote
1940plymouth Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Fred, I hope you don't mind me adding these. Cooper and I went for a ride this morning once the fog lifted. The leaves aren't as vibrant as in years past, but I just had to share. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 I just noticed yesterday that the leaves are starting to change around here. I hope to get out with my truck this fall and get some nice fall color pictures. My goal it to get some pics like this, but with my truck. Quote
1940plymouth Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Merle, we'll be waiting for those photos:) The one you posted with the leaves and bike is great, especially with the sun shining Quote
Merle Coggins Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 The one time of year when my bright yellow motorcycle blends in with the environment. Honda Camo Pearl Yellow. The last couple of years haven't been good for color like that, plus I haven't had a chance to get out when it was good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this year. Quote
Young Ed Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 Merle I'm hoping WI has some good color too our region is touring the spooner area next weekend. Quote
james49ply Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 Darn, never get to see color change here, still in the 90's here too. Quote
