    DAB just looked at your website and now I'm curious, do you have a pic of your driveway? Seriously, where do you keep all of those cars! I'd have to say the green one is my favorite.

    Yes, I keep the neighbors guessing! It's fun!

    Here is a more recent picture.

    I've always got to leave room for my wife's car, so it usually takes some jockeying around. One is in front of her's, two are at a buddy's place in the country, one is at another friend's, and one is at my mother-in-law's. (The parts car is in the back yard). I rotate them out and really confuse the neighbors!

    Even my wife doesn't know when I'm home sometimes. [I really don't know why]. :D

    One of these days, I'll have to uncover them all and stand on our roof to take a full shot.

    You could scan little pics of all your cars individually and print them out In buisness card size and tape them to popsicle sticks. Then Print out a decorative sheet that says

    "Doug is driving this Maverick today___. Have a nice day"

    The line after today would be a cut in the paper where you stick the one end of the popsicle stick which puts the maverick after the sentence!

    Hey Doug, where did you get your car covers, and would you recommend them? Also, if you don't mind me asking, how much did they cost (2 door version). Thanks, and I think you should round up all your Mavs and take a picture from your roof like you said. ... New people in town driving by...... "Hey look, it's a Maverick/Comet show!".... Little do they know each car doesn't have a separate owner!! :D

    It's seeing five or more Mavericks or Comets at all times in my driveway at home that makes it so discouraging when I can't assemble more cars at our meets in Texas! [I could just stay home]! :D

    If you really want more people to come to a meet, tell them that you will be hosting some punch and pie!

    Doug,

    I usually have to move the cars once week to get some of the cars off the grass so it can be mowed.

    I call it doing the "Maverick Shuffle". :D :D :D
