Pretty cool when a major newspaper covers hot rodding: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/28/a...on®ion=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well&_r=0
That is a good article, very well written and interesting. It's good to see that they discussed Save the salt in it too.
Good article, and its nice that rodders are shown in a positive light.............. Refreshing, to say the least.
It's like the guy really listened, observed, and understands what he is writing about. A rare bird in the world of "journalism" today. Great job.
