Sharing the road with bikes.
I'm a car guy. I've been a car guy since hi-school. Before I was a car guy, I was a bike guy. I went everywhere on my bike. I rode my bike just to be riding. I didn't really need a specific destination, I just liked the freedom of going wherever, whenever. I still have a bike... somewhere.
Tonight, I almost ran over one of the morons I'm sharing the road with. He was riding in traffic with no lights or reflectors of any kind on a major, unlit street. The outcome of this event was decided by inches. This time in his favor. As I continued home, I thought, could I live with myself if I had run over him and then sued his family to have his remains professionally removed from my undercarriage and any scratches and dings caused by his bike repaired? I think I could!
Let's turn things around for a minute. If we drove our cars, like some of these morons ride their bikes, it would be total chaos. What if we drove on the wrong side of the road, ignored stop signs and traffic lights, drove on the side walk when traffic didn't suit us, passed on the right so we didn't have to slow down for traffic stopped at a light, and didn't signal before we turned?
I just needed to vent a little and I feel better now. I'm glad I didn't run over the guy. Drive safe and watch out for morons.

1956 Chevrolet Delray coupe
This is my second '56 Delray. The first one was also my first car in high school. Same color inside and out. I payed $325.00 for the first one in 1963. This one cost a little more, and it will be taken better care of.
This car has factory air and a three speed on the column. It has the smooth frame, which I have heard called a 'NASCAR' frame, and a 'California' frame. It has about 10,000 miles on a frame off restoration, and is a numbers matching car. It has no modifications other than tires and wheels, gauges, and clipped front springs.
This car is not a trailer queen, and is driven to local car shows and frequently driven on Sunny days.
