There are three Panterra's listed on the roster for the show and I'm really excited about seeing them, Ford V-8 power and all! I have not seen one up close in a very long time. I should take pictures and post.

I have these moments almost every day. My car is a daily driver to and from work. Its a 86 mile round trip and I have never seen another spider on the road and the people I pass apparently have not either. But the one time that stands out was one evening when I was parking a contractor pulled up in a lull and started telling me that when he was young the only true love he ever had drove one just like mine. He asked if he could just park there and look at it for a while, after I got the whole story of course. I told him to take all the time he wanted. The big man was almost in tears before I finaly got away. Got to love these cars.
