I had the opportunity to take a mini vacation recently and the highlight of my trip (aside from seeing a fully restored VW Samba) was spending an entire day with one of my dearest friends meandering around Miller Motorsports Park outside of Salt Lake City, Utah during the local PCA track day.

While Jeff and Mad_Science were swilling expensive champagne and drooling over beautiful french ladies, the Schmo’s were wandering around a dusty museum warehouse full of awesome old cars. I was originally going to run this as part 2 of my museum tour but excitement got the better of me.

I ran this post in Automotive Traveler almost a year ago. Since then, I no longer travel about looking for these oddities, mainly because I no longer travel about….

comments
On Vermont Route 7 just north of the village of Pittsford there’s a small building with an old sign denoting the Nickwackett Garage, what appears to be a bike shop out of the ’50s.
