I'm sorry to say that some of my best car memories are not of cars:

Going to my first hydroplane race while in High School and seeing all those
wonderful Allison powered boats @ Seafair on Lake Washington

Going to Thunder Sunday on the day after my class reunion and seeing the
classic Allison powered boats on Commencement Bay during an exhibition race

Going to the Air Races in Reno and seeing all those great racing planes of
WWII vintage, some also Allison powered
