Corvettes at Le Mans, recently discovered and digitized color 8mm home movie from the late 1950s, and a Shell gas station at minute 1:55
This is something you really ought to see.. a 360 mobile view of a private Corvette museum. OMFG
http://host.newspin360.net/hookedonvettes just click it, let it load for a couple seconds, and then point your cursor where you'd like to see. Amazing
It's the private museum of Micheal Brown, Corvette obsessed guy, and he is a video producer / director of filming Corvette collections ... and this cool looking movie about the Corvette that went to LeMans

10 commandments for car collectors
1. Thou shalt not store cars out-of-doors except for thy wife’s modern iron.
2. Thou shalt not covet they neighbor’s car, nor his garage, nor his battery charger.
3. Thou shalt not love thy cars more than thy wife and children; as much, but not more.
4. Thou shalt not read thy Hemmings on company time, lest thy employer make it impossible to continue thy car payments.
5. Thou shalt not despise thy neighbor’s Edsel, nor DeSoto, nor even his 1947 Plymouth.
6. Thou shalt not allow thy daughters nor thy sons to get married during the Holy days of Hershey.
7. Thou shalt not deceive thy wife into thinking that thee is taking her for a romantic Sunday drive when, indeed, thou art going out to look at another car.
8. Thou shalt not tell thy spouse the entire cost of thy latest restoration, at least not all at the same time.
9. Thou shalt not promise thy wife a new addition to the house and then use it to store cars.
10. Thou shalt not buy thy wife a floor jack for Christmas.

Excerpted from Jeremy's blog.1aauto.com
Now this is where it gets good. The vehicletest.state.ma website basically says that Massachusetts follows California Air Resources Board (C.A.R.B) rules.
“Transmissions and transaxles changes alone are not legal. Transmissions and transaxles can only be changed along with their matching engine.” Ummm, What? I can’t replace my transmission without doing the engine at the same time!?
“Electronic ignitions or electronic point replacement units for vehicles not originally equipped with these items require an Executive Order to be legal for street use.” So I guess going from points to an electronic ignition is a bad idea now?
“Modifications that change a vehicle from fuel injection to carburetion or from carburetion to fuel injection also require an Executive Order to be legal.” …cringe.
“Headers for use on catalytic converter equipped vehicles require an Executive Order to be legal for street use.” Efficiency apparently does not equal cleaner emissions?
For all the info Jeremy found on Massachusetts safety/emissions tests: http://blog.1aauto.com/2011/03/31/massachusetts-vehicles-inspections/#more-4888
