I saw on Instagram that Prestone was looking for 90 cars to help ‘em celebrate their 90th anniversary. They wanted to do a rally from Phoenix, AZ to Los Angeles, CA. I’m in! If you read my previous installment: “The 55’s Daily Carry” you’ll remember The 55 is pretty well prepared for life out on … More Prestone Rally
I’m getting The 55 ready to go to Phoenix in a couple of weeks. I’m going to meet Kyle and Bam who I know from the Hot Rod Power Tour. They’re righteous dudes. They’ll be in the Prestone big-rig with a caravan of cars following them out to LA. All to celebrate Prestone’s 90th anniversary. It … More The 55’s Daily Carry
It’s been awhile since I’ve given you an update on the 55. Here it goes. Earlier this year Lucky put the 55 on a strict no-carb diet and installed a Holley Sniper Electronic Fuel Injection system with an AeroMotive Phantom 340 in-tank fuel pump and an MSD Pro-Billet Distributor and coil. The 55 starts and … More The 55 Update
It’s amazing the difference a new set of tires can make. I used think that tires are tires. If I got a set of 245/50R17 in Brand X they’d feel the same as a set of 245/50R17 in Brand Y, right?? I mean, with the exception of the really high performance tires, I kinda thought … More Angeles Forest Highway

She says: “This is Jeff. I think he can help you.” The woman introduced herself and proceeded to tell me … More 65 Corvette Barn Find
Every car-guy loves a good road-trip. So when my brother told me my niece was having her birthday at Water-World in Denver, I knew I had to drive the 55 out to Colorado. I had been dying to do a road-trip ever since I had co-hosted the Hot Rod Power Tour with my buddy Clarence … More Colorado Road Trip
I just got back from spending the holidays with my family in Colorado. I was stuck with them up in the mountains for two weeks. It was awesome! They’ve got a place up in Keystone – it’s a ski resort at just over 9200 ft in the Colorado Rockies. My Pop and I arrived while … More The Drive Home
Here’s the story of how I got my 55. When I decided to get rid of my old Corvette, I started looking for another station wagon. I used to have a 1968 Impala 4-door wagon. I painted it blue with yellow flames and dropped a fire-breathing 468/T400 into it. I love wagons. They’re cool, they … More How I got the 55
I’ve been pretty excited to see the new 2016/Gen6 Camaro for awhile now. The Gen5 was a big hit. My friend Steve has been wanting a Gen5 1LE since they were reintroduced a few years ago. But since Chevy announced they were introducing a new Gen6 Camaro in 2016, he’s had to wait to get … More 2016 Camaro
I just got back from SEMA 2015 a couple weeks ago. If you don’t know what SEMA is, it’s the Specialty Equipment Market Association. Basically, it’s the biggest car show in the world… And it’s closed to the general public. That’s right, you’re not invited. It’s only open to people within the industry. And it’s … More SEMA / George Barris
