<center><img src="http://cars.g93.net/dart2.jpg"></center><p>Yes, it's the car you've all been dreaming of -- a 1964 Dodge Dart, with a straight six, pushbutton 3-speed automatic and 195/70/13 tires. We're driving it from NYC to New Orleans for <a href="http://www.bonnieclac.org">charity</a> at the end of may.

Just had it checked out by the equally Dart-obsessed guys at the Good News Garage around the corner from my place in Cambridge (The Car Talk guys) -- who gave it a clean bill of health, aside from the fact that the hood is literally rusting off.

that's a slant 6 son! use to have a red one.

though in my defense, the slant 6 is a specific kind of straight 6 :-)

The Chrysler slant sixes are apparently almost indestructible.

We always try to catch their show on Sunday evenings while driving home from VT. My wife is always astounded when I can figure out 80% of caller's problems before the car guys do ;^)

What's the plan for the car when you arrive in NO? Push it into a dyke? Or leave it under I-10 with the 100s of other cars left there after Katrina blew through?

mirth

the same. One of them runs a small shop in Cambridge, about 2 blocks from my apt.
