Man! Unless you have a first name that begins with a C---arl, or actually drive a '66, yes, I have a minimum of 2 but no Grandes and all be it parts of, it is tough to get any recognition for a quick visit and inspection of a mans 6 hour pre-Manitoba visit to the Pembina Triangle before that happened!
Congrats for being this months top dog!

I gotta say that is a quintessential shot of that thing! I like that its far enough away so you can't see my massive bald head. I remember rocketing through Foam lake on my way to shed the Airstream this year and thinking that I really should do a quick stop but I know how those quick stops go though especially with a guy who has a most interesting place so I just didn't have the time to spare. Sorry about that and I'll have to stop by in future to catch up.
Nice 66 BB, and one of the few yellows that look great. Congratulations on the 10,000 miles too, thats a great thing that you drive it so much.

I've done a lot of posts over the years on aspects of it so I figured that the guys might have seen enough, but then I recently thought that maybe it was time to sort of summarize the whole story so far especially since Todd seemed a bit desperate lately.
Ken, I'm getting kind of used to seeing the big yellow barge at the top of the page. It's gonna be sad seeing it leave next week... Us 66 Pontiacs have a bit of a dynasty the last couple of years.

That is a great video Ken. Although I must say, that yellow car looks to be neglected. I think you better let it go at a fire sale price to someone who will take better care of it.

I have to admit it has had to stay outside this winter mostly because my wife is slowly taking over the garage to store her stuff! This is one of the reasons I had to buy a smaller car.
As for the Big Yellow Barge its long term fate is uncertain....
