I’d like to take a moment to thank A Pet’s Memory for all they did for me during the most painful and vulnerable times. Thank you for always being professional, sympathetic, and most importantly HONEST. Nothing means more to a heartbroken pet owner than to know that we’re actually getting our baby back and not just a random pet. Once again THANK YOU FOR CARING
We think God is focused on all of our faults, our shortcomings, but God sees all the good things in you. He sees your heart to help others. He sees your sincerity, your kindness, your courage. God is proud of you. He made you in His own image; He calls you a masterpiece. Just because you’re struggling, it doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong. We all go through tests, seasons we don’t understand. What I want us to see is the darkness is not permanent. At some point, you’re going to go from PM to AM. God is going to shift things. You’re going to come out promoted, increased, at a new level of your destiny. Don’t put a question mark where God put a period. We’re not going to understand everything that happens. Life is not always fair. You can’t make people do what’s right. God’s given us our own free will. Sometimes people make choices that hurt us. But God is so amazing, He’s going to cause you to forget the pain of the past.. The one thing you can always control is your attitude. “Am I going to live this day sour, discouraged, or am I going to live in faith, hopeful, kind, happy, seeing the best?” This is a decision we have to make each day. If you’re going to have a good attitude, you’re going to have to do it on purpose because all kinds of negative things will try to creep in: discouragement, self-pity, bitterness. If you’re not proactive, if you don’t choose to have the right attitude, then the wrong attitude will show up. Are you going to let the circumstances - what people say, what hasn’t worked out - convince you to settle where you are, give up on what you’re believing for? No, get your passion back. God didn’t create you to live in a drought, constantly struggling, stuck at one level. That’s not your destiny; that’s temporary. Abundance is coming, promotion is coming, healing is coming. What you heard is on the way. “God will not allow things to happen that won’t somehow move you to your destiny.” … Joel Osteen

Cruizin’ in the passin’ lane By: Jimbo After all the re-scheduling and worrying about the China Virus, the almost hurricane the car show gods blessed us with the perfect day for a car show. Hats off to Glen Mattina of Clear Vision Entertainment LLC. & Mike Kommersmith Coast Media Solutions, the Rock-n-Roll Open Car & Big Boys Toy Show at Point Cadet Plaza in Biloxi, MS was a huge success. I know this show will be an annual event here on the Gulf Coast. Thanks to all who worked so hard to put this show together and everyone who attended.
Here we are in July 2020 and celebrating our 244th year of independence. I guess the 4th of July has different meanings to different people but try and imagine what it must have been like for the men who pledged their life and fortunes back then to bring about a new country and the freedoms we have still to this day. People from all over the world are willing to give up their way of life to live here and I find it sad the news shows so many of the people who are born here in the USA want to give away our way of life and the freedoms we enjoy.

Everybody has got an opinion and my opinions may be far apart from your opinions but we can still talk and argue about what we think and do. My style of cars/bikes and trucks are my opinions about how fast they might run at the track with my special tune-ups that was generated by the opinions of people I have listened too. Maybe I just trusted their judgment or shortcuts and tricks-of-thetrade but here is where it gets a little tricky, I’m suppose to follow the “rule book”. If I get caught because I cheated it’s on me with no one else to blame. There are lot’s of “Rule Books” we all know that. But it seems like some of our countrymen are forgetting just what the rules really say. I wanted to put something in the magazine this month to bring back what the 4th of July was all about and what the “rules of freedom” say. You might remember Civics class when we were kids. Not sure if they even teach it anymore but, here is a handy guide for you to follow when the nightly news doesn't agree with your opinion. Jimbo, A neighbor suggested I put horse manure on my strawberries. Tasted horrible! I’m sticking with whipped cream! Paul Wilson Jimbo, I needed to do the laundry, but then I realized I was out of detergent, so I went to write a shopping list and realized how unorganized the junk drawer was, and started checking pens for ink. When I went to toss all the junk, I saw that the trash was full but before I took it out I wanted to get rid of old food in the fridge. That’s when I realized a juice jug had leaked so I needed to clean it up but when I went to grab a rag, I saw that the pantry closet was a nightmare so I started organizing it. And that’s how I ended up on the floor looking at my old photo albums from 1990’s and not doing laundry. posted by Donna Seay

Jimbo, Patrick had long heard the stories of an amazing family tradition. It seems that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been able to walk on water on their 18th birthday. On that special day, they'd each walked across the lake to the pub on the far side for their first legal drink. So when Patrick's 18th birthday came around, he and his pal Mike took a boat out to the middle of the lake. Patrick stepped out of the boat ... and nearly drowned! Mike just barely managed to pull him to safety. Furious and confused, Patrick went to see his grandmother. "Grandma," he said, " 'Tis me 18th birthday, so why can't I walk 'cross the lake like me father, his father and his father before him?" Granny looked deeply into Patrick's troubled brown eyes and said, "Because ye father, ye grandfather and ye great-grandfather were all born in January, when the lake is frozen, and ye were born in July, ya idiot!" posted by Pete Cohon And in closing this month I leave you with this….. So after leaving the drive thru today in Gulfport, my wife took her sandwich out of the bag and we see BlTCH printed on the wrapper... Seriously? Oh not today, not today!! I went back to the restaurant, went INSIDE (already fuming), asked to speak to the manager and then threw the sandwich on the counter. I asked him for an explanation. He looked confused, so I pointed at the writing on the sandwich and demanded that he tells me why someone felt the need to write it on my Wife’s sandwich. He answered, "because you ordered a BLT with cheese??” To which I replied “Oh” Till next month …… Jimbo

In Congress, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.-Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
The Declaration of Independence was designed for multiple audiences: the King, the colonists, and the world. It was also designed to multitask. Its goals were to rally the troops, win foreign allies, and to announce the creation of a new country. The introductory sentence states the Declaration’s main purpose, to explain the colonists’ right to revolution. In other words, “to declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” Congress had to prove the legitimacy of its cause. It had just defied the most powerful nation on Earth. It needed to motivate foreign allies to join the fight. Preamble These are the lines contemporary Americans know best: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness.” These stirring words were designed to convince Americans to put their lives on the line for the cause. Separation from the mother country threatened their sense of security, economic stability, and identity. The preamble sought to inspire and unite them through the vision of a better life. List of Grievances The list of 27 complaints against King George III constitute the proof of the right to rebellion. Congress cast “the causes which impel them to separation” in universal terms for an international audience. Join our fight, reads the subtext, and you join humankind’s fight against tyranny. Resolution of Independence The most important and dramatic statement comes near the end: “That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States.” It declares a complete break with Britain and its King and claims the powers of an independent country.

JULY 2020
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
www.GulfCoastMotorSports.com
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector. The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately choose by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner choose the President. But in choosing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall choose from them by Ballot the Vice President. The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States. No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected. The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

The Bill of Rights is the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. It spells out Americans’ rights in relation to their government. It guarantees civil rights and liberties to the individual-like freedom of speech, press, and religion. It sets rules for due process of law and reserves all powers not delegated to the Federal Government to the people or the States. And it specifies that “the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” The First Amendment provides several rights protections: to express ideas through speech and the press, to assemble or gather with a group to protest or for other reasons, and to ask the government to fix problems. It also protects the right to religious beliefs and practices. It prevents the government from creating or favoring a religion. The Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms. The Third Amendment prevents government from forcing homeowners to allow soldiers to use their homes. Before the Revolutionary War, laws gave British soldiers the right to take over private homes. The Fourth Amendment bars the government from unreasonable search and seizure of an individual or their private property. The Fifth Amendment provides several protections for people accused of crimes. It states that serious criminal charges must be started by a grand jury. A person cannot be tried twice for the same offense (double jeopardy) or have property taken away without just compensation. People have the right against self-incrimination and cannot be imprisoned without due process of law (fair procedures and trials.) The Sixth Amendment provides additional protections to people accused of crimes, such as the right to a speedy and public trial, trial by an impartial jury in criminal cases, and to be informed of criminal charges. Witnesses must face the accused, and the accused is allowed his or her own witnesses and to be represented by a lawyer. The Seventh Amendment extends the right to a jury trial in Federal civil cases. The Eighth Amendment bars excessive bail and fines and cruel and unusual punishment.

But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. [And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. --]* The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice.

Kind of slow going in the carriage house of late. I have been busy building a deck at my daughters' house for the new pool she got for the grands. So, my time has been spent toting lumber cutting and putting it all together. Its not finished yet, still got one more section to go, but By: Glen Gilmore I am making headway. The kids enjoy it and their new slide that is now on the deck as well, (the whole reason for the deck). I am looking forward to the completion of this deck soon. I did manage to get a few more things ordered for the Big Truck project, Chase helped pick out some new rims and we even got the Queen to pop for 2 of them, we thought that to be very nice of her. Made a little more headway on wiring up the internals of the doors too. Next up, tires for the new rims, the ones on it that were just used for mockup, are to say the least very old. The ones on the front were from my first roadster at least 20 years old. Dry rotted and cracking badly, it's a wonder they even hold air. Their time is up, they served their purpose several times. The ones on the rear are most likely the same age, don't think I should trust them either. At some point I am going to need to buy something that resembles a seat. I really have not focused too much on the interior either. All I know at present is we don't want bucket seats. And I think we need some kind of radio. It does have A/C and heat and power windows so I think a nice radio would be fitting. The truck runs perfectly, it just has not moved on its own from the garage yet. I think its just waiting patiently, with some luck I just may be able to take it to Cruisin the Coast this year. Not totally finished though. I would like to once again wish this great country of ours a Happy Birthday, so pop some fire crackers, enjoy some BBQ, and have a beverage or two and enjoy the family and friends. May God Bless America another 244 years. Later from the Carriage House in the Northwest Coast of Mississippi, ………..Gizmo.

I left from there and head to Edgewater Mall for the 40th annual southern hospitality car show hosted by the Mustang club. Pulled in I registered ( they had 80 plus cars register) and hung out a few hours visiting with friends checking out more cars/trucks.
This Month we've been getting a few more events cranked back up. We started out at the Pass Christian harbor cruise in had 12 rides show up and practice a social distancing cruise in.
After the show was over I headed over to Waveland for the Misfits Street Krewzers 2nd Saturday cruise in. Had a pretty good turnout here with around 50 cars/trucks.
Our next stop was a new cruise in which is on the 3rd Friday every month on Coleman Ave in Waveland. Had 85 cars/trucks at this one along with a live band and several food trucks for meals.
The next Saturday we road was another one of the multiple events in a day. I started he day registering at the Rock n Roll open car show at Point Cadet Plaza in Biloxi. They had over 250 rides show up at this one.
Few of my young friends came out to our local Misfits cruise-in tonight in Waveland. Michael Fountain, Brennan Fountain, Dewayne Dunhurst, Freda Dunhurst, Bobby Arkwright. Thank y'all coming over and the support. I worry Bobby was leaving and going home to do even more to his Lil mini in these 2 weeks left before Scrapin. Another long day of riding the wheels off and supporting friends shows and relaxing at a cruise-in to finish it out. Remember to watch for our friends out riding their bikes also. Allen.

This 2007 Chevrolet Silverado belongs to Steven Foster, a maintenance technician, specializing in kitchen equipment at Pearl River Resort. Steven has been with the resort since 2007 and is also the mastermind behind the resort’s annual Ante Up Car Show. When Steven bought this crew cab in 2014 he had no idea the truck would eventually hold great sentimental value. It was built by Slaughter House, an automotive customization shop in Tomball, Texas. In 2016, he upgraded the air ride suspension to Air Lift Performance, a company that sponsors the Chevy at car shows. And this is where the sentimental value comes in. Attending car shows became Steven’s favorite thing to do, especially with his mother. Steven said, “She loved driving my truck around town, hitting the air switches. The truck would go up and down and she would laugh and exclaim how cool she was.” Sadly, in 2018, his mother succumbed to complications with lung cancer. As a tribute to her, Steven plans to restore his truck to its glory. It will undergo cosmetic changes and upgrades soon.

Up front there is a March pulley system. Dress up goodies include Mopar Direct Connection chrome valve covers, chrome alternator, polished Edelbrock heads, chrome oil pan, 3 core aluminum radiator with electric fan, and chrome hood hinges. An engine this powerful needs great stopping ability, so Pat installed all Wilwood 4 piston disc brakes with a chrome brake cylinder package. The tires are Cooper R53-A- 225/50R17 on the front and 265/45R18 on the back, mounted on MB old school 17x7 on the front and 18x8 on the rear. The suspension is Hotchkis torsion bar with leaf springs and a manual steering box. The interior on this beast is the factory stock black. The windows are new, but have the original stampings. The vinyl top is also new. The paint is stunning, and is a base coat/clear coat with stripes in an intricate and unique design. You need to see this stunning 1973 Dodge Challenger in person to appreciate it. These are highly sought after vehicles in today's marketplace, as you know. Thank you for sharing your magnificent muscle car with us, Pat. It is a “Looker” for sure. When you are driving down the road, how do you know when someone is hitchhiking or just complimenting you on your car? Gotta Cruise!

July Cover Girl Ms. Rachel Waters is not only beautiful, she’s also a true auto-enthusiast. Rachel is a member of the Gulf Coast Corvette Club, and hangs out with local Jeep enthusiasts. Rachel owns two corvettes and a rare long-wheel-based L J Rubicon Jeep. The long wheelbased Rubicon was only manufactured for three years (2004-2006); it’s so rare the Jeep community calls it a “unicorn”. Rachel enjoys participating in car shows, car cruises, and loves water sports. Rachel is also a pretty good mechanic, she changes her own tires, oil, and brakes. She loves to detail her own vehicles and keep them pristine. Rachel is fearless, she doesn’t think twice about hooking up her own 40-foot toy-hauler to her F-350 crew-cab 4x4 to go camping, and she sets it all up by herself. On the flipside of the coin, Rachel doesn’t mind putting on a cocktail dress and heals for a classy dinner out. She’s posing in front of a rare full-top-removable 1975 Chevrolet K-5 Blazer owned by Tom and Juli Bocek. Chevy only made this body style Blazer with the full-removable-top for three years (197375). Although Rachel is in front of a red Blazer (Tom’s favorite color), her favorite vehicle color is green, like her eyes, both her corvettes green, and her jeep is green too.

Then she posted something about improving some things in her life, so I texted her again that I could help her with those things if she would trust me. She responded back that maybe we could talk. She had been married for twenty years and the last ten had been rough. Elizabeth told friends and family as late as two weeks before we met that she didn’t need nor would ever have another man in her life. She said I was the Ice Queen when it came to men, but sweet and nice with everything else. You see Elizabeth is a Christian. I believe the good Lord got us together. Not only did the Lord have me try her one more time, he softened her heart at the same time. We talked hours upon hours getting to know each other before we met. Once we met our chemistry was unbelievable. We are so compatible, so happy.

How much can change in a month. In my column last month COVID19 lead the column, where did the virus go? It disappeared from the news… replaced by riots. Normally when there is a riot it is because the majority of our nation doesn’t understand a cause. With George Floyd, 99% of people thought it was wrong and the Police involved were arrested, so what was the rioting about? I think we all know, politics being backed by a guy named George Soros. Doing away with Police would hurt the minorities the most, because that is where the most crime occurs! Who comes up with these things, OK rant over and I’m over all these political plays, expect more between now and November 3, but it will have little impact. On to the good, how about the great news? Talking about the difference a month can make…I have stumbled, fell into, destiny stuck, karma hit into an incredible relationship. Since Scotty’s death and a year of mourning I have been searching for the perfect mate for the last three years. I made sure I would never compare the women I dated with Scotty that would not be fair. But I did have a Top 5 checklist that I would slip through conversation to screen the women I would be dating. My close friends all said I was way too picky and would never find my dream girl. I have to admit that after three years I was beginning to wonder myself. Dating after 34 years of marriage was a huge challenge; I would not wish it on anybody. Holy Cow! The greatest lesson I learned from dating is DO NOT DATE ONE PERSON AT A TIME, until you meet the right one. That is the way I started, I then learned what girls had known forever, date more than one, three works well. Because when a girl goes south on you and it’s the only one you’re dating, it’s heartbreaking. However if you are dating three and one drops off, it’s no big deal. Now I’m talking dating, not relationships. Its stone cold and brutal dating in 2020! Lol I had also learned that if you could find someone raised the same way you were and talked the same language you did, had the same values you did…it was a huge plus. So since moving to Pensacola, I started looking here, but also the Mobile area. I had met and talked to a girl in my hometown of Dothan, AL that was real nice and then I found out she was happily married, I somehow missed that. Any way, we stayed friends on Facebook, a couple years later I see her with a photo of what appeared to be her Mother and sisters. One really caught my eye, so I texted Anna and asked who is the cute girl on the left. She said “that is my little sister Elizabeth.” I asked “is she married” and she said “no, divorced.” I said tell me about her…Anna said “Elizabeth is very sweet and nice.” I said great I’m going to see if she will talk to me. So I friended Elizabeth and texted her on Facebook, told her I knew her sister and wanted to see if she wanted to go out sometimes. She very politely told me that I seemed like a nice guy, but she had been divorced for three years, had not dated and did not believe she would ever date again. I told Elizabeth thanks for being honest. I did not talk to her for three weeks.
The list I had for the perfect woman, she checked off every box and added many more I have not even thought about. We’re still early in this relationship, and we have some things to work through. We live 130 miles from each other and we both like our jobs. We’ll work through that stuff. It feels like I have known her for a long time. But I also feel like we are going to be together for a long, long time. I can’t wait for you to meet MS Elizabeth at our next car show. The Street Festival Car Show in New Roads, LA will be her first, Saturday September 19. Cruisin The Coast will be October 8-10 for us at the Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, MS. And then November 11-14 at Emerald Coast Cruizin in Panama City Beach, FL. Come over and meet MS Elizabeth, buy a little something from her and welcome her to the car show scene. It’s all new and exciting for her. Missing the car shows and car events, yeah me too, but please check on your friends & family and make sure they are good physically and mentally! I’ll pray for you, please… pray for me! til next month…

6/14/20: Welcome back everyone!!! I was rushed for time last month, so I feel like I short-changed you all on the article. I'm warning you now, this might be a long one! LOL…Seriously! Here we go…May 24, we made the haul back over to Milton, Florida for their annual “Iron Man' Memorial Day weekend race! This was my first time ever to race on a Sunday night that I can remember. We struggled early to get a handle on the racetrack, thanks to a pop-up rain shower right before our heat race! Chase just did the best he could with what he had for the heat race, and we re-grouped and prepared for the feature. It was looking like a disappointing night! I went to work on the car! I got on the phone, (with Noah Daspit and Jamie Luzenberg) got some confirmation that I was tuning us in the right direction, and then I had a talk with Chase! This was our 3rd trip to Southern Raceway and we've been strong each time, but not strong enough to compete with their local fan favorite, Ryan Fowler! Fowler is a veteran modified racer who competes regularly in the big leagues of the dirt track scene! He, like Chase, started racing modifieds at a very young age. With over 25 years of racing experience, if you beat Ryan, (especially at his home track) then you've done something! That seems like a great goal to push for! I began to pump Chase up before the race! I told him that because of our poor performance in the heat race, NOW would be a great time to surprise Fowler with a good clean win! We both got all psyched up and ready to go! However, we both agreed that if he couldn't get it done clean, then we didn't want it! Here we go! Chase starts 4th with Fowler starting on the pole. Green flag….Chase immediately takes to the high-line and powers his way to 2nd, several car lengths behind Fowler! At this point, a wave of goose bumps comes over me as I'm filming! HE'S ON THE HUNT!!! I bump Adrian and say, “we're fixing to WIN this thing!” I could hear the announcer saying something about “Fowler pulling away from the field”, he hadn't seen what I saw, YET!!! Those next 2 laps, we go from several car lengths back, to just a couple car lengths… to “HELLO!!!” Chase had just done what not too many people have done…He's reeling Fowler in at his home track! I mean, seriously… Fowler has beat dirt track legends like Ken Schrader on this same dirt! WOOOHOOOOO!!!! Chase was so much faster getting into the turns, but Fowler was quicker off the corner! As Chase shadowed Fowler for a couple more laps, he came in a little too hot going into turn 3 and bumped some sheet metal on Fowler's right rear quarter panel. He had barely touched him, but he still backed off a tad and didn't want to beat him like that. As Chase regrouped and started planning his next run, he allowed Fowler to get a few car lengths ahead, not realizing that it wouldn't be so easy to gain back that lost ground! Fowler cruised on to the checkered for another victory, and Chase came home with another respectable 2nd place finish for the season! AWESOME run!!! We camped out that night at the local KOA campground in Milton. (Which is amazing by the way! If you ever need a place to camp while passing through Milton, Florida…Be sure to tell Mr. Mike that we sent you! He's an old dirt track racer too!) We woke up the next morning, washed our car, did some maintenance, and mounted some tires as we were preparing for another night of racing in Flomaton, Alabama! Remember this was Memorial Day weekend, so now we are headed to Tri-County Speedway for a $1000 to win
24
JULY 2020
showdown on a Monday night!!! It was fun to be traveling, racing, and camping as a family! We arrived at Tri-County Speedway and were able to hot-lap and just as Chase was about to line up for his heat race, the bottom fell out of the sky! It was a lot of rain in a short period of time that was just too much for the racetrack to handle! They cancelled for the night and postponed the race until June 13. We will be there!!! We took the following weekend off from racing and decided to go on a family camping excursion instead, with no racing involved! It was fun. We planned a double header for the weekend of June 5-6. We wanted to run at Hattiesburg Friday night, and depending on the outcome, we were hoping to race at the Grand Re-opening of Pike County Speedway in McComb, MS! Let's start with Hattiesburg on June, 5…We drew a great starting position which put us starting on the pole of the first of three heat races. There were 19 modifieds at Hattiesburg. Chase lead his heat from flag to flag and won it, which meant we would be on the pole for the big feature event! Chase led the huge field of hotrods into turn one beside #9 of Bryan Powell, from Magee, MS. A couple laps into the feature, Powell made a pass for the lead, but Chase remained calm and drove back to the front on the next lap! After a series of restarts, due to cautions deep in the field, #34 Ben Stephens found a bunch of momentum on the high side and he powered past Chase on the front straightaway at the halfway point of the race! Chase remained calm and kept digging on the bottom groove, even as Ben appeared to be pulling away from Chase each lap. As the laps wound down, Chase seemed to close the distance slightly, but not enough, as Ben Stephens went on to win and Chase came home 2nd AGAIN! LOL…but we aren't complaining! I preach it to Chase constantly, just how awesome a top 5 finish is on any given night against this group of racers!!! And don't misunderstand me, Chase is grateful to finish in the front of the pack…BUT, one of the first questions ANYONE ever asks when they find out he races is “how many races have you won?”…That's a tough question to just answer without any explanation! Unless you follow along…or actually compete against this group yourself…I don't think you really understand the level of competition we race against weekly! I stand proud with our top 5 finishes! I'll take em! With the threat of rain pressing down on us from Tropical Storm Cristabol, we decided to stay home Saturday night, and not make the drive to Pike County Speedway! I'm glad we stayed home on that one, but we certainly look forward to visiting Pike soon! June 12, 2020…we caught word that Deep South Speedway in Loxley Alabama was running 2 full nights of racing (Friday and Saturday)… We were already committed to Tri-County Speedway, in Flomaton Alabama for the $1000 to win Memorial Day rain-out, make-up race Saturday night, however our schedule was wide open for Friday night!!! So off we went!!! The track was awesome, and we were superfast in hot laps! Chase laid down the fastest laps out of the 12 modifieds there ready to do battle! It always worries me to be really fast in hot laps, because as the track changes you have to try to keep up with adjusting the car…so Chase is relying on me to read the track most nights…I usually miss more than I hit! LOL…but we are a team! We mutually decided to tighten up for the heat race, and it was too early as the track didn't slick off as quickly as we had expected…Regardless, we started 3rd and finished 2nd in our heat to none other than “the Rocketman” Ryan Fowler! We started 3rd in the feature and had some great side by side racing but still came up one spot short of a win at the checkered flag! Fowler won it and Chase came home 2nd again, with $650 cash and a nice trophy! I'll take it! We drove home, got up early and went straight to work on the hotrod preparing for Tri-County! June 13, 2020…Flomaton, Alabama was the place to be, and we brought a huge fan club with us to cheer Chase on and hopefully see him win his first race with this new Hughes Chassis this season! Chase drew a bad starting position that put him starting dead last in the first heat race. As the green flag waved, he went straight to work! He got up on that wheel!!! He never touched anyone as he went 3 wide up high, on the front straightaway… then he sailed down the back straightaway and LAUNCHED off turn 4! FOLKS!!!
www.GulfCoastMotorSports.com
….WE HAVE A NEW LEADER at the flagstand!!! WooooooHoooooo!!!! Go Chase! He stretched out and never looked back! This put us starting on the pole for the Feature! Here we GO!!! Chase had to fight every lap of the feature! It was exhausting and VERY STRESSFULL to watch! We had at least 5 cautions before we ever completed 1 lap….restart after restart… Chase stayed strong and kept digging. We had a scary moment as one of our competitors jumped the berm on the initial start, and barrel rolled (3-4 flips) over the guardrail! Thank God he was completely unharmed!!! It looked really bad! That incident brought out an immediate red flag as the safety crew was trying to get there quickly! As Chase slowed to a stop, 2 racers, still battling for a position, drove into Chase's left rear and caused significant body damage!!! Thankfully, the track workers were able to pull the bent metal off of Chase's tires allowing Chase to continue without coming into the pits! The next restart, Chase fell to 2nd place and the new leader spun out right in front of him going into turn 3, leaving Chase nowhere to go! It took a wrecker to pull them apart, but again, THANKFULLY, we only had minor damage and was able to continue! Eventually we went green and got a few laps in as Chase was able to check out on the field! The only time anyone got close after that was on the restarts! He cruised on to the checkered flag picking up the BIGGEST money win of his young career!!! He did it clean and precise!
We are very proud of Chase! He has come a long way in a short time!!! I'm also very thankful to be able to share our racing adventures with you all every month! I want to thank you all for reading and following along on this journey with us! You all have been a blessing for our racing team, and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for Chase! Between this monthly article and our rapidly growing social media following, we are seeing doors open for us that I'm confident would have never happened without your support! Thank you ALL!!! Be sure to check out our Facebook for more details and videos of our racing adventures! Just google search, Chase Holland Racing and it should pop up our Facebook page. Until next time…Chavus

Three wheeled motorcycle vehicles, also called trikes, have been pacing our roadways for decades. Recently, there has been an array of new styles and models emerging on streets around the world. With a resurgence in popularity, well known manufacturers like Honda, HarleyDavidson, Can-Am, Polaris and BRP are putting their own spin on a classic ride. However my favorite of the three wheeled By Candy Cocktail vehicles is the Polaris Slingshot 3 Wheel Motorcycle Car! I was at a gas station when I first saw a bright blue Slingshot pull up next to me and I could not wait to go ask the driver all about his unusual ride. Half car, half motorcycle and all fun, the Slingshot can do 0-60 in 5 seconds. Classified as a three-wheeled motorcycle, the show stopping Polaris Slingshot 3 Wheel Motorcycle Car could be best described as the Batmobile meets dune buggy. Both stable and easy to maneuver, the Slingshot has a top speed of 125 mph. It has sporty handling with 8,500 rpm. Two other three wheeled vehicles, both from Canada based companies that surely get their share of looks and questions, are Bombardier Recreational Products' (BRP) popular three-wheeler, the Can-Am Spyder, and the T-Rex series by Campagna. The Harley-Davidson Freewheeler is another popular three-wheeled trike. Europe has its own variation of three-wheelers; the cyclecars, microcars and bubble cars. With a surge in popularity in 1909, the origin of the first threewheeled model dates back to 1885 when early auto pioneer Karl Benz created various models, including the Benz Patent Motorwagon, which Wikipedia classified as the first purpose-built automobile. Polaris, the Minnesota based powersports company, created the first Slingshot in 2014. Some states are not even sure how to classify the unique vehicle. According to CNBC, the vehicle is commonly called an “auto-cycle” in some states while in South Carolina the Slingshot is simply a “passenger vehicle.” Technically it lacks airbags and does

JULY 2020
not meet automotive safety standards, so most states agree that the Slingshot is still a motorcycle. In New Jersey, operators are required to wear a helmet. The vehicle has two front wheels, one ultra wide rear wheel and seating for two with side-by-side, adjustable bucket seats in the partially open cockpit with a doorless frame that lets your feel the wind in your face. The seats are waterproof and the seat height will leave you less than a foot above the road. The vehicle has drain holes in the floorboards so it is ready for any weather on 18 inch forged aluminum wheels. Although the unique ride still features your typical car components like a lockable glove box, push button start-stop, an LCD screen in the media center that is Bluetooth enabled with a backup camera, GPS navigation and controls for the six speaker audio system. Located behind the seats are two lockable trunks, although there is no rear-view mirror. The Polaris Slingshot Motorcycle was originally available in three models, however now there are only two: the Slingshot SL and the top of the line Slingshot R. Made of fiberglass with friction hinge technology, multiport injected fuel system and ergonomic design, it comes in at 51.9 inches high, 149.6 inches long and a width of 77.9 inches. But not to worry, three point seat belts and overhead roll bars above the driver and passenger seats help keep passengers safe. Driving the Slingshot is smooth and easy with its electronic stability control, and the speed sensitive, electronic, power-assisted, rack and pinion steering setup. Until recently, Slingshots were only available with manual transmissions and a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder GM-sourced engine. However for the new 2020 Model, Polaris updated the autocycle with an in-house motor, 203-horsepower engine and an automatic transmission. Ranging from about $1700 for an older, used model online to $33,000 at the top of the line, the autocycle's new 2020 vehicle comes with a $20,000 price tag for the most basic model. The Polaris Slingshot 3 Wheel Motorcycle Car is a thrill seeker's dream machine. Visit slingshot.polaris.com to have one delivered to your door tomorrow. Get in and stand out!
