Dear Tom and Ray: For years, I have been a poor college student, sleeping in my leaky, rusty Jeep on trips, such as snowboarding, to save money (yes, it gets nippy -- hence the zero-degree sleeping bag). Now, with a job, I bought a "new to me" 2006 Subaru Outback that has similar sleeping capacity in the back (yes, I can now afford a car, just not the crazy hotel prices at the ski resorts).
If anybody could claim to have beat Carroll Shelby to the punch in crafting an aluminum-bodied roadster powered by stout American V-8 horsepower, it would be Sydney Herbert Allard. Allard built his first car back in 1929 and turned out fewer than 2,000 racing and street versions of his sleek two-seater before he shut down his company 30 years later. Gary Thompson, a well-known Wichita car guy who started the Kansas Car Enthusiast magazine and TV show, always wanted an Allard of his own.
