Bucket List

[cammerfe]

A recent issue of Hot Rod Magazine had a 'Bucket List' of 101 car-related things to do before you die. So far I've only done 22 of them. Who's done more?

I went back through the list (September Hot Rod) and I'll now revise my comments. For example, although I have never been to a Woodward Dream Cruise, I did get my first ticket, for drag racing, on Woodward back in 1958. And it was in my Dad's car. I also, at about the same time, raced the same car in regular competition at Motor City Dragway, north of the Detroit Metro area. It almost seems to me as if I should get an extra score. And although I've never driven a funny car, I've run a front-engined dragster. Shouldn't that count?
