  |
|
Traveling west on Rt 691 today at 3:35pm, I spotted a red (orange?) 240 or 280, perhaps.. driving East, close to the I 91 interchange. I was driving a 1988 electric blue Chrysler Conquest, and we seemed to have spotted each other.
Nice to see an old Z on the road on just another ordinary work day  |

No such thing as "an ordinary workday" when you own a Z! 
It's good to hear that other people use their Zs as daily drivers, in spite of the relative inconvenience of dealing with 30-and-40 year-old technology. My 15 yr/old finds it "quaint" that my Z has "those old roll-up windows". 
Me, too!

Yup indeed Frank
Not a big fan of C/W music,but I respect it as a part of this great country we're part of. To paraphrase one of Texas' greats,Ray Wylie Hubbard, 'back when there waz real music,singerz had real names like Hoyt,Hank,Willie,Waylon,Ernest,Johnny,Porter...not these figure skatin' names like toby,faith,tyler...' |

And Myrl.
And George.
And Randy.
And Patsy.
And EmmyLou.
You have to have lived a slightly hard life to really love Country Western, and had your heart broken a few (hundred) times good and hard, and watched your dog and your crops die, and have a train roll past your home late at night.
Then, all of a sudden, a steel guitar makes a lot of sense to you.
Here's to you, partner.

And I'm sorry, but I just have to throw this one on here, too. It's the Changing of the Guard from old Country to the new generation.

Anyway, Smashbar ~ sorry to have led your Thread astray a bit. If nobody answers-up about being on the highway, you should glance thru the 193 photos in our Member Rides gallery and zee if you can identify the Z you saw.
