All the local cruise and swaps in the Ottawa (Canada) region are cancelled too. One swap meet 400 miles away is postponed to Sept 5 weekend (fingers crossed)
My 36 needs a water pump that doesn't leak and the rear fenders need the patch panels I ordered and never arrived !!!! Will be looking for insurance too.
Also I was planning to attend Bonneville but.....

Illinois is shut down like the rest of the country. I currentlyl live on the back roads and no restrictions on driving at this time. Been trying to get my 65 Mustang farther along in the restomod process. Haven't had the T Bird out yet. In the process of geting a new house in town built and getting the family farm ready to sell. Miss no car stuff and swap meets to go to. Some day this will be over.

Florida Phil, I wish I had your gas prices.  I live in the bay area in Taxifornia and regular runs a less than $3.00 a gallon with diesel about $4.00.  And this is with the  prices down right now.  Sometimes it is nice to leave the state and see how the normal people live.  I still drive but you have to pony up for the ride.  Lot different when, I as a 18 year old kid and gas was $.25 a gallon at the scrubron that I worked in 1965.  I run premium in my 57T-Bird that I bought in 1968.  Gas for it is well over $3.00.   

I believe the cheapest gas I can remember when I was a kid in the sixties was 18.9 cents a gallon during a gas war.  At 169.9 a gallon now it's actually cheaper.  I don't think we have the cheapest gas in the country.  I would bet it's closer to a dollar a gallon somewhere.  Some day this virus thing will be over.  Probably later than sooner.  I wish they would hurry, us old guys don't have that many days left. 

Hope to take my '57 out for the first time this year today. They say it may get up to 59* and sunny. It's been cold here in NE Ohio. I expect the weather will transition from too cold to too hot next month sometime. Premium here is only $1.83 a gallon, winter blend. I'll drive South about 30 miles to a station that sells 90 octane alky free gas and fill up. Not sure of price but it can't be too much more.
HAPPY MOTORING!

These cheap fuel prices are very enjoyable for us consumers, if we can consume. When this virus is over, I only hope all else will be OK too.  This is nuts, spot crude is $10 a barrel for not good reasons. I've had my truck out for a good cruise with my wife several weeks ago and need to do this again soon. It's mental therapy of the best kind to hear and feel a Y-block in a light vehicle. Stay safe everyone, JEFF.............

I found this site great for working out where to fuel up when travelling around the USA. I see there are a few places down below a dollar a gallon now. The cheapest I spotted on the map was 92 cents a gallon near Oklahoma City. Fuel here in Australia is the cheapest we have seen since the 90's. Not as cheap as your fuel though.

About the only thing good about this Corvid crises is gas prices.. Ours for the last couple of years are amongst the highest in N. America! ( I won't try to explain it, as are Gas is sold in Litres/ Canadian $)   But, they have dropped dramatically in the last few weeks. Problem is that many businesss are closed, including sit in resturants. And most venues of any sort are cancelled, & schools are closed.. It's been a big hit for many, as their jobs have suddenly disappered.. So, other than going for necessary Groceries once a week or so, or a cruise somewhere, away from the city, there isn't much reason to be on the road... So, everyone practise social distancing, wash your hands often & try not to be the next victum or spreader of the virus!           .. from near Vancouver B.C. Canada...

Things are starting to loosen up a little here.  Restrictions are in the hands of the State Governors. Florida has stay at home order until the end of the month.  Georgia is lifting theirs this weekend.  Our State will probably follow.  I don't see the Florida Theme Parks opening for some time.  Car shows not until the summer or fall.  I may drive by our weekly cars and coffee this morning to see if anyone shows.  I don't see a problem as long as it doesn't get too big and we stay 6 feet apart. The people I feel sorry for are all the people who are out of work and the small business owners.  If you didn't have a little savings to fall back on, things have to be bleak.  My father grew up during the depression in the 30s.  It affected the way he thought his while life.  Now we know why.

Loosening up now means we're going to have a strong second wave.  Don't confuse it to mean that it is safe.  It is not, yet.  We are not on the recovery end of this.

Our governor (Georgia) didn't know that people can spread the disease without having symptoms until 24 hours before he started the lock down (so he says, anyway).  I heard about that at least a month before.  I have no faith in our leadership.
