You're probably tired of my "We're famous!" posts by now, but who cares?
We made it into the San Francisco Chronicle "My Rides" section of tomorrow's paper.
Link: My Ride - 1969 Opel GT
I think this is our 5th newspaper article so far. The others were in our local paper, but we got a mention in a Bay Area (Bernal Heights) online paper last winter, too.
And I do publicize this. It has been part of the fun.
Edit: I hate it when I make typos in the thread's title.

Maybe a mod will correct the title....

I love pic #3 with all the headstones in the background! Is that where they bury the other dead LeMons racers that TinyVette outlasted?

That's our transmission cemetery, and it is filling up fast!
For rolled on Rustoleum that car looks pretty good! Congrats guys, keep the articles coming
Great article. Congrats!

As they say on Top Gear, this goes to the cool side of the board.
I've been featured in the paper about 6 times and I've appeared on radio and tv 17 times in my life for various things(bicycle racing, working in a casino, acting, being a radio drama authority, crashing my Firebird into the Atlantic City police station, and even a back operation).
I'd trade them all for one nice article like that about me and my GT.
Keep'em coming!

"Get those damn kids off my car!"
I talked to the Chronicle's photographer tonight and mentioned your comments on trading in your 17 minutes of fame for one Opel article and he laughed and said that the GT was a perfect car for this series.
I just noticed the comments accompanying the online article. Most are good, but a few people have bad experiences. There are comments in the photos section, too. Overall the car seems to be loved, and missed, by many.
I picked up the paper version today as well. The car really looks good in it. I hope it doesn't drive prices up.
