Our community and local club will be sponsoring the following event. We still have space for a few more cars. We stage under the magnolia trees on Clubhouse Drive in the shade. I am the coordinator for the car exhibit. No trophies or plaques, but we will have a drawing for dinner for 4 at the...

Ellen seems to be happy driving hers.

Do you mean this one from the R&D facility in Silicon Valley?

I'm not from NY, but when you mentioned the Taconic State Parkway, all I can remember is the chase scene in the movie "The Seven Ups". I think it was at the Millwood exit where Roy Scheider ran his car into the back of a semi parked on the shoulder. A must see. That section of highway still...
