Howdy Friends!

Our Gas Price Bingo contest is fun - sort of.  Albeit in a painful way.  Steve S. pointed out that it's depressing.  And he's not wrong.

I really thought Bill H. had this week's winner pegged.  But John S. sent one in that's befuddling. 

Because I'm pretty sure the pump's meter was maxed out.  See the very bottom of the newsletter.  Shocking.

Cool car shows are happening this weekend.  Linked below with all the news.

And sell some stuff!  It's still

P.S. On Tuesday, 11/8, we get to vote out politicians against fossil fuels.  EVs and green alternatives are great.  But we can't knock society back to the stone age.  

BEST OF FRANCE & ITALY

Always a great show.  Narrow focus but cool.  Celebs (Leno) often pop by.
