I feel the same way every time I attend a Rods and Woodies cruise night or the annual Wavecrest Woodies meet. I do not have space, money, or time for vintage car collecting, and I hate the idea of driving a gas-guzzling, pre-catalyst, pre-ECU exhaust-spewing car, even a beautiful old vintage machine. My friend Dave Grove probably has the right idea with his electric conversion 1933 Rolls Royce shooting brake, which is on display at this year's San Diego Auto Show.
(I do admit it was a blast to watch the Tour d'Elegance in Carmel last summer, so I am glad some folks are into preserving our automotive heritage, but give me my classic bicycles any time.)
