My first Alfa was a '68 GTV. Of all the Alfas I've owned over the years the GTV remains my favorite. Love Daron's #3 Horst Kwech tribute car. I saw the real one race at Mid-Ohio "back in the day."- Braz

DC-3 / C-47
In '67-'68 I had occasion to fly from my hometown of Ft. Wayne to Detroit several times in order to catch a connecting flight. At the time the airline (United?) was flying DC-3s on that route. It was always a treat to watch the startup procedure with first one prop, then the other, slowly...- Braz

your favourite popcorn
White popcorn here. Indiana is one of the largest - maybe the largest - popcorn growing states so I have many choices of quality popping corn. I like salt and a bit of butter, though my wife is the salt police and gets snippy if I use too much. Sometimes I'll dust a tad of garlic powder on. I...- Braz

Your signature cocktail.
Habanero Pepper Olives I'm a martini guy, gin, up. I generally buy queen olives in half gallon size jars. Recently I had a habanero pepper that was going to go bad unless I used it. On a lark I cut it in half, deseeded it and tossed it into the olive jar. After a few days the olives began to...- Braz

What do you use to shave?
Did you get the Merkur or the Jagger? Taking forever to shave is not a bad thing. Give yourself plenty of time and treat it like a trip to the "shave spa." I do a pre-shave hot towel, spend time building a nice hot lather and pick a nice after shave lotion or balm. It is a relaxing ritual. When...- Braz

Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests
Lizzie, your Plodge reminds me so much of my great grandads '46 Dodge, which he always referred to as "the machine." He was the worst driver I ever experienced. He thought the painted line in the middle of the road was where his left side tires should track and he held his position in the face...- Braz

Vintage roadside
Matt, I'm loving your "discovering Indy" posts. I lived there till about '95 and watched the downtown grow from a sleepy city (NapTown) to a vibrant place with lots of nightlife. Fountain Square was just on the cusp of its revival when I left for the countryside. Keep it coming. Also, I need to...- Braz

Old gas stations
Sorry for the confusion, 2jakes. Coincidentally, I live about 20 miles from James Dean's hometown of Fairmount, IN. I am also a former (long former) sports car racer so I am very familiar with the Dean mystique.- Braz

Commonly available jeans - higher waist?
I recently bought a pair of "Fire hose 5 pocket jeans" from them (size 38/30, sound familiar?) and quickly ordered a second pair. Adequately high waist for me. I added rivet style suspender buttons, also available from Duluth.- Braz
