My son grew up in the back of our 70 Formula, car seat and all. Actually he grew up in nothing but classic cars 95% of the time. Today, as an adult now, he prefers to ride in the 69 Camaro more than anything else since it has a more friendly back seat than the Firebird. He also likes the 72 chevelle, a little more roomy.

We just don't really worry about safety features much. Drive defensively and most of the time I'm on back roads that are less traveled anyway. It's just the way we prefer to live and get to enjoy our classics as a result.

Luckily living in Arizona gives us year round driving weather. I do understand the winter and salt thing coming from Ohio. When we lived there I actually had a classic beater that we used during the winter months. I had several V8 Vegas and Monzas we drove for years until they rusted into the ground, then I'd go out West and buy another one, lol.

I live in Arizona and we had snow on Thanksgiving and Christmas

We didn't have much of anything at our house in PV. Nice thing though that if it does they only toss a little sand on the roads and let it go, no need for salt. Generally because once the sun comes out the snow we do get doesn't hang around much past noon. So it's never really posed an issue for us.

Do you know about this weekly Friday lunch and Saturday donut get together? PM me if you want to know more.

Just a FYI, Prescott and PV use salt ( you can see the white powder all over 69 and also Glassford Hill Rd.. Prescott also uses crushed red cinder with their salt.

I wasn't aware of the weekly get togethers. Is that year round? I'll shoot you a PM.
