IDAHO FALLS - Morgan Murphy took off in May, driving a 51-year old Cadillac Eldorado.

He's now been in 38 states as he promotes a new website called motorpool.com. It's for the 12-million classic car and truck enthusiasts who love old cars.

"Oh man, they just... this car in particular talks about American style and excess and can-do attitude. When this car was new, it came with four cigar lighters, six drinking tumblers, 345 horsepower, and no seat belts. It was a different era. People who love history or like history, love old cars," says Murphy.

Morgan loves his car so much that he's logging 12,500 miles, visiting 58 cities.

This week Gov. Otter signed a bill requiring Idaho to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform. What's your response to this?

  • It's great to see Idaho taking the lead on this. Someone has to stand up to what's happening in Washington.
  • We can't afford to pay for education in Idaho, but we're going to spend tax dollars to sue the feds? Ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
