Thanks, Lee!
That story is GREAT, and the pix are TERRIFIC.
Email this story to all your old car friends (that they may enjoy it),
and those friends who don't get it (maybe they'll understand this time).

I don't believe that bit about the VWs being under a tarp.
La Jolla has an unlisted ZIP code!

LaJolla Dictionary:

TARP:  non-personalized, non- hand woven, non-gold laden car cover.

I was channel surfing last night and ran across a program on the Science
Channel called Classic Car Hunters
(http://science.discovery.com/schedule/episode.jsp?episode=0&cpi=111485&gid=0&cha
nnel=SCI
),
which shows "car hunters" who show at the Pebble Beach Car Show... mostly
Ferrari's, Maserati's, etc... this "car hunter" was considering going to
Italy to look at a car that was a one-off that was missing the engine and
transmission and most of the interior... figured he could get it for
$500,000.  Only car show I know of where it costs $100 just to walk through
and look at the vehicles and had a dress code... more or less a wine and
cheese crowd.  I had to laugh toward the end, there was a guy detailing his
engine compartment wearing latex gloves and probably had a $300 white dress
shirt on.  Later in the show they showed him at the car show swap meet
selling a few parts, he told one guy he could have whatever part he was
looking at for $15,000.

Lets seeeeeee, $15,000 would buy how many studebakers for the average
non Avanti Studebaker collector?

They had a segment on show on the History Channel....
(I forget the name right now)
The show was about the cars the generals drove in WWII..
Had the Rolls Royce that Montgomery and Churchill rode in (including
Churchill's cigar burns to the burled walnut dash)... and Ike's car, and
Patton's jeep (couldn't lay the windscreen down due to the air horns)..
In the historical segment they showed a bunch of jeep clips.
One clip had a jeep getting yanked out of a muddy section of road by a
Weasel.
Yanked it right on out of there...and it was loaded and had 4 or 5 GI's on
it...
