March 25th -
So I was thinking about art today. Ok, well not art, more like
cartoons. At any rate, I did some surfin' and came across this website
that had some Chevelle cartoons.
Check it out. -Martin |

March 19th - I went to the
Columbus Auto Show yesterday.
I was sort of disappointed that the new Camaro and new Challenger weren't
there, but at least I did get to see the
National Trail Raceway El
Camino. -Martin |

March 16th - (This was sent to me by one
of our club members) "A lot of folks can't understand how we came to
have an oil shortage here in our country. Well, there's a very simple
answer. Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know we were
getting low. The reason for that is purely geographical. Our oil is
located in Alaska, California, Oklahoma and Texas. Our dipsticks are
located in Washington D.C." -Martin |

March 12th - FINDLAY, Ohio, Oct. 16, 1998
(UPI)--A contempt of court arrest warrant has been issued for an Ohio man
who obeyed a court order to return a vintage race car to another man by
cutting it into hundreds of pieces.
Roger Tanner of Findlay, who reportedly fled Ohio to avoid a 30- day jail sentence, cut up the vintage BMW race car rather than return it to Terry Freed, his partner. A judge also has ordered Tanner to pay $26,956 to Freed as compensation for destroying the car. The two men had planned to restore the vehicle but Freed said a disagreement occurred over who would do the work. The Toledo Blade reported receiving a telephone call from Tanner, who said he was in Texas and that he won't return to Ohio because he can't "get a fair shake." He called his flight to Texas "a change of venue. " Tanner claims he complied with the court order. He told the newspaper the order "listed each and every part of the car separately, so that's how I gave it to him." |

March 7th - Well the
Columbus Auto Show is coming
again this weekend, and I got to thinking about what would happen if they
brought back the Chevelle rather than the Camaro. That reminded me
that a couple of years ago that's exactly what the folks at Aloha Dream Cars
had put into reality with their
Chevelle concept. They took one of the new GTOs and grafted a
modern Chevelle look to it. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but not sure
I would buy one over the real thing. -Martin |

March 3rd - I
sometimes get asked about how many of a certain car combination were
produced. Unfortunately, I'm not that much "in the know," but I did
find a poster that is fairly comprehensive. The folks at
Designs
Computed put this poster together. Pretty cool. (This is
info I found and is provided simply as fyi; we receive no monies for its
mention.) |
