    Years ago I had a ride in a 1928 Travel Air 3000 biplane with a Hisso engine. The same engine in Jay's car. Very powerful engine even for an airplane. Last I heard this airplane was somewhere in Oklahoma. Thank you to my two favorite car guys!

    Just amazing - the difference between Jay & the rest of us ... I had a thrill picking up our 1996 Caprice LS today with the newly installed 2 1/2 " Dual Catback exhaust ... the installer drove it & thought it had the 350 motor - it's a 4.3L L99 V8 with 150k miles ... every Car has it's own story, which changes constantly - much like a romance with a beautiful woman...

    Jeepers Dennis, I thought you might have a bad day over that hat. I would have stuck it behind the seat or something. Love these videos Jay and to share a drive with Dennis probably makes his day. I've seen Dennis drive some very rare cars on his channel. Great job Dennis.

    Got to love the sound of those straight cut gears! Why bother with first and second? With the torque of that engine, you could leave it in fourth all day, except you may want to shift into third in slow traffic to circulate the oil and the coolant some more.
