I was in Paris during the 25th Anniversary reunion of these cars. The event was covered in one of Road & Track's Exotic Cars series magazines. Standing on the Champs-Elysees (sp?), then all the traffic disappeared. I remember wondering why so quiet when a low rumble started getting louder...

Thanks, guys! I did buy drinks for everyone in the club bar. Thankfully, it was late Sunday afternoon, and there were only six of us in there. Got off really easy on the bill. Thank God it didn't happen on league night, or I'd have been buying for 100 people! Double Eagles are much rarer than...

Maybe should have started a new thread with this, but the golf guys will be interested...Got my first Ace yesterday! Woo Hoo!!! Locale: The Summit Country Club, Owensboro, KY Hole: 12th Hole, Par-3, 194 yards Club: Ping G2 9 Wood Ball: Titleist Pro V1 Witnessed?: Yes! Story: It was a very windy...

There are two main models of the Vinturi aerator - one for reds and one for whites. The difference is how much aeration is applied to the wine as it passes through the Vinturi. The version for red wine aerates more than the one for whites. We carry these in my wife's home accessories store...

Well, I've been retro-purchasing, instead of getting the latest sticks. In the last year, I have picked up two sets of Ping Beryllium-Copper irons. A complete set of matching numbers Zings, 1 iron through lob wedge; and a set of BeCu Eye 2 irons, with a lob wedge that's never been hit. I love...

That time of year, I would stay farther south. Southern France, Italy and Spain. Weather in northern climes can be pretty spotty then. Wherever you go, be SURE to take travel guides by Rick Steves. His books are the best at getting you where you need to go as efficiently as possible. Actually...

Not a really visually-inspiring ride, but a great long-distance driver...Toyota Avalon. I drove my parents' late 1990s model on a long trip. Handled well, very reliable, upper 20s/lower 30s mileage. Even had a good stereo. Loaded the CD changer with new tunes and took off. My best road trip...

It IS a beautiful place. For a look at it in winter, try this page: http://www.onsiteimages.biz/Travel/Yellowstone You are also correct that most people have no clue what they are missing. Sometimes even when they are there, and are too consumed with their damn phone and text messages.

My parents have a Toyota Sienna, and my in-laws have a Honda Odyssey. Both are excellent vehicles, and offer similar conveniences. I agree with the above post that auto-opening side doors AND back hatch are necessities. Both feature excellent entertainment systems - totally necessary for kids on...

Being from Kentucky, the only place in the world that makes true bourbon, I would say try Woodford Reserve. It gets high ratings from everyone. Also, take a look at this page: http://www.bluekitchen.net/bourbonselect.html Bryan

Read Rick Steve's guide to Italy. It cuts to the chase of what should be seen, and what can be skipped. It offers solid advice on tour companies, lodging, food and tourist traps. I used the book in Rome, Florence, Naples and the Amalfi coast. It pointed out little-known treasures, and helped me...

I got to go to Augusta National again this year for one practice day. The place is still amazing in its simple perfection. I've posted some photos from the last two Masters visits, plus some Ryder Cup stuff from Valhalla in 2008. Here's the link...

"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" really gets your blood pumping, huh? With the mix you mentioned, I bet there's some Hall and Oates on there, too. As an aside, the worst concert DVD ever produced has GOT to be a recent one of Air Supply. OMG, it was terrible. They will always be 8th-grade...

When the McRib is back, it usually means pork prices are down. McRib disappears when the prices go back above a certain level. As for the pickles and onions, that recipe comes from southern Bar-B-Q, which typically features those additions. My town is famous for mutton (bar-b-qued sheep), and...

I like the stained wood idea. I think if you ripped off the front fenders, and covered them up with some decent plank wood, you could end up with the road going version of this:

We bought our house, and the flat-roofed addition added by the previous owner leaked like a sieve. We knew that a pitched roof was better, and asked about building it over the flat. Our contractor surprised us (in a good way) when he suggested adding another floor to that area of the house. He...

The two most famous people I've met: Colonel Sanders of KFC fame. My dad ran a KFC franchise in the 60's and 70's, and the Colonel visited a few times. I helped him stir a pot of gravy he made from scratch. Somewhere, there's a picture of me and my sister with him. I'm NOT bringing that one out...

In my days as a newspaper photographer, I've covered some interesting games from a local perspective, but the best gig on a national/international level was covering the Kentucky Derby from inside the rail, right at the finish line. You could feel the pounding of the hooves as they raced past. I...

I love the looks of the car, and would gladly drive a black one with the black/camel interior. Does anyone else see influences from the Mazda RX-8 in the exterior styling cues? Maybe in the grille surround, the back window/deck area, and the lower rear valence? Actually, the more I look at it...

What a great website. There are quizzes about nearly anything. I felt pretty good after quickly getting all the United States, then got humbled by the capitals of the states, and then even worse by trying to name all the European countries. Time to hit the books for me!

Rory's round on Sunday at Quail Hollow was stellar. It was the round of a lifetime for nearly anybody, Tiger included. That course was not easy, and Rory lit it up. CBS showed a statline about the tournament's history: the PGA players as a group played holes 1-15 at 43 strokes under par...

Talked with a guy about his new Panamera, and he said something really funny: "Yeah, I drove it one morning to a restaurant for breakfast, and some guy walked up to me as I was getting out and said "Is that the new Dodge?" Kinda makes you wonder how other people see things." I thought that...

As a professional photographer who also teaches basic digital photography classes, I would encourage you to look at the Canon Rebel lineup. I say that because they seem much easier to use, especially right out of the box. Both Canon and Nikon build quality machines, but the Nikons are often...

Clams. Jambalaya or etouffeé?

Clics makes really useful, good-quality glasses that have integrated bands and magnetic front-closures. Try this link to get to their site. While you're there, check out the Goggles link. I know several motorcyclists that swear by them. Clics used to make sunglasses with a brushed aluminum...
