    That looks like the Auto Zone parking lot! Been there many times, wonderful place/people!

    You are correct. They had bagels today, so I named it accordingly.

    Is that by chance the model car store in the background?

    I'm glad to see it's still there if that's it. I would do every chore imaginable when I was younger to get a chance to go there.

    It's in-between the Morgan and the Fiat.

    Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

    I see guys holding coffee and lots of cars but no bagels? Such a misleading title. Please post the bagels too.

    When the weather is good, every Saturday starting at 8, I think. Nice group.

    Love how TINY the Morgan looks next to the Continental

If we go down that route, it’s a slippery slope for those who love road driving.

    Yes, I'm not sure if they looked ridiculously small or the Continental looked ridiculously large.

    The Mark II is 18' 2 1/2" and is 5300 pounds.

    The Morgan is just over 13' and weighs 1933 pounds.
