"Everyone we met associated with classic car events were just plain delightful..."
|
As 2001 lazily slipped into summer, I began to attend and participate in all the
Car Shows and Cruise Nights in southern New England. I had always driven a
classic car, but I was far too rebellious to become involved in such structured
events. Well, not until the summer of 2001.This past summer was terrific. Everyone we met associated with classic car events were just plain delightful, well except for Corvette owners. My Daily Drive.com was gaining a solid loyal readership and I had the pleasure of featuring a few of my friends' outstanding cars. As the summer began to wind down the unthinkable occurred. Americans were murdered in a cowardly act of war. It would be impossible to capsulate all the emotions and loss associated with September 11th within this humble column. But, nothing will ever be as innocent or quite the same again. The months that followed were somewhat disjointed. Yes, we celebrated Halloween and Thanksgiving, but the topics of our conversations were never far from New York City. We are Americans and we dust ourselves off and carry on with the business of being America. Our men and women of the armed services are doing the dirty work now and we wish them safety and success. As we close the book on 2001, we once again hold to the hope that 2002 will be better. I know I am.  webmaster@mydailydriver.com |
