Carby Car's Bucket List

[william]

Good to hear! I'll be waiting for pictures.

Good news: oil in the coolant was not oil, thankfully, but a ton of rust and crud. Replacing the radiator hose that blew and hopefully getting a few more miles on this engine before D-day. Operation Bridge Fest is back on for this weekend!

Nice that's only about an hour south of me!

YOU HAD ME AT GOATS. Yes. I'll definitely have to make a detour!

Just send me a FB message a week in advance! We will have a party!

UNFORTUNATELY plans have now been delayed. I was all excited about going and getting my bridge pictures in this weekend. I JUST rolled over 225,000, and was almost at work today when I saw steam rolling from the hood. Got it parked, let it cool off, and came back to this...

Oil in the coolant. That sweet smell hit me in the face and I knew. The engine was shady when I got the car 90k ago, so the fact that it's lasted this long is amazing in itself. Hoping we can gently limp this guy home tonight and probably swap an engine instead of road tripping this weekend. My poor baby.

Let me know when you will be there if my cars still together I'll come up for a picture

I'm super excited about all of these options! That dragon is going to make an awesome photo op!

Come on out to Iowa and we will hit the Bridges of Madison Co. one of them is where Clint Eastwood and Merrill Streep first met in there movie.

Exciting! A great tie in with my little bridge theme!

I thankfully already got some pics next to CarbyCar during our convoy to Lakestiva, but you are invited to come out and get more if you ever head West!

I live on a farm, you can get some picture in the goat pen while you are here!

Awesome Idea, I really need to take a photography class because that engagement picture has me wanting to pull my camera out again.

Subscribed. This is a great idea. I'm looking forward to more great adventures.

Thanks Charlie! Pedro is actually one of the first Festivas on my list to park next to! Hoping to get that list compiled soon...but there are so many great cars out there.

First mission to accomplish: Covered/Vintage Bridges.

I have many fond memories of driving around as a child with my parents in their Festivas. That translated to adulthood, where I continued to find more and more in Indiana. I've chosen 7 of my favorite bridges to visit.

Norris Ford Covered Bridge, Rush County, IN
Forsythe Covered Bridge, Rush County, IN
Moscow Covered Bridge, Rush County, IN
Offutt Fort Covered Bridge, Rush County, IN
Smith Covered Bridge, Rush County, IN

Hays Bridge, Hancock County, IN
County Line Bridge, Hancock County, IN



Hoping to accomplish these soon, within the next few weeks. I'm still compiling other lists, but this was my first one to completion. Also considered hitting all the covered bridges in Indiana, but that's somewhere around 96-98 and ain't nobody got time for that. Just decided to keep it simple and of course, I can always add more to this later.
