Summary
May is here and car shows are starting up across the nation. Also Cinco de Mayo and Memorial day are around the corner and the official start of summer is near. I hope you have your car out or your project almost done to a point where you can drive it and enjoy the warmer weather. This time I decided to once again Ask Rick about six cars from two different categories. The first set of cars are of "pedigree"and have either a track record or history that makes them special. The other category is $10k starter cars that are ready to go out and make some summer memories. Ricks take on these is always clear and to the point.

| 0:31.8 | have skin in the game, even newbies, but what he really measures and maybe you |

| 0:38.7 | to see it through. |
| 0:39.6 | I'm done with taking chances on heaps of promises and glitter and dazzle, and this is |
