Cool Fall 2020
It just turned fall this week, but the leaves are already changing in Western NY. Here's a couple photos I took on my ride yesterday. Post some of your area!

The colors of the car and the leaves go well together!
Beautiful scenery. The leaves are turning here in Michigan as well. Like last year, it seems like the colors are going to be very bright and intense.

Hey Jim.....Does that car have a Corvette (or some other brand) independent rear suspension in it? It looks like I'm seeing negative camber at the rear tire/wheel in the picture below! DD

Rear end is std. I think it is just an optical illusion from the camera on my I Phone. Like a fish eye lens effect. It doesn't look like that in real life.

Fall is coming to Western Ma also. 45 mile foliage ride yesterday. Fun on the back roads where no one is pushing you. That is our 9 year old foster child (also our great grand daughter).

Thank you very much. Those are maple trees in a hedge planted by my grandparents in the early days of their homesteading here. Its a favorite spot for photos. One from the other side.

A very fine example - I like the two tone paint very much. Is anyone here willing to photoshop the pics to change the brown to black and the golden sides to battleship grey? Thats what I have in mind for my 34 Tudor but a pic would help a lot with my decision....
Thanks very much for the nice pics - hopefully next autumn I can show my car between the golden leaves
