    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Today I went to my first car show the K&N in downtown riverside.:bananaman I was expecting to just see about 20-40 cars nothing special.:huh: But when I got there holy s#!t there were some of the rarest cars I had ever seen!:49: An original GT500 not a clone and gto's w/massive blowers charger rts a shelby cobra too many to name.:bouncy: After a while I started my search for a mav/comet but I came down short over 200 cars and not one a mav/comet.:hmmm: So then I got tired and started my way home when I was walking under a bridge I saw what I was waiting for the last car I see is and orange maverick almost brought a tear to my eye.:bouncy: It was the perfect way to end my day.:D Even my 3-mile walk to and from the show in the 90 degree sun:mad: was worth it too see people who share the passion I do in old muscle cars.:clap:
