There is one of the old drive in burger joints here at the edge of town,been closed for at least 25 years or more,just sitting there rotting away.I always think it would be great to restore it and have some car stuff going on there, but most things dont seem to go anywhere nowadays.

nearly 6 years ago my family and I moved from a DC suburb after 25 years to a more rural place about an hour away from the city. What a beautiful difference, in more ways than one. I now live about a mile from a drag strip which runs every Friday night and Saturday until probably 11:00 PM. I can literally hear the cars from my deck. I love it. Have gone there with my wife and son several times and had a ball. But more impressive to me is that there is a huge population of car nuts around me. Every other Saturday evening there is a years-old tradition of gathering at a local ice cream joint that happens to be in a strip shopping center. One end of the parking lot gets taken over by everything you can imagine in the automotive field. From Army-dress Jeeps to magazine quality show cars and everything in between. That's what got me pumped enough to first buy a Fox-body Mustang, and now my 51 Willys Jeep panel truck. There is a growing population of rats there, thanks to two local guys, who are likely members here at RRR and at KB.
