You got your dead toad-frog
You got your dead rabbit
And your dead racoon

Didja know that if you look real close, you can see the towel she was wearing under all that shaving cream? The only whipped cream was on her finger and in her hair.
Have you heard the new album REWHIPPED Herb released this year? It's a remix of the original 1965 album, and it's big on the jazz charts. Nice cover update with Guess Jeans girl Bree Condon, too...this time, there's a gatefold...
If you're really into Herb, like I am, you should visit www.amcorner.com...lots of info about the Tijuana Brass and other A&M groups, like the Baja Marimba Band and Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66, etc.

The More You Know
-
Herb and the Brass (among others) were the soundtrack of my childhood. My parents were "hipper" than I ever dreamt, given that all their musical tastes have stood the test of time. I still remember watching them and their friends in our basement dancing, music blaring, laughter blaring louder, alcohol flowing, cigarettes burning (it was the sixties, and that was pretty much the norm), and now, with both of them in their winter years, those memories are priceless to me.
r
-
In addition to REWHIPPED, several albums from the TJB heyday 1962-1968 have been remastered and are available on CD from Shout! Factory records.
The titles include:
THE LONELY BULL
SOUTH OF THE BORDER
WHIPPED CREAM [the original album]
GOING PLACES!
WHAT NOW MY LOVE
SRO
SOUNDS LIKE...
HERB ALPERT'S NINTH
THE BEAT OF THE BRASS
CHRISTMAS ALBUM
LOST TREASURES [a collection of previously unreleased tracks]
I always have one of these albums in my CD player in my car...makes for great cruising music. Since several of these albums have never been available on CD before, the sound is fantastic!
They're easy to find at Amazon.com; some bookstores have them, like Barnes and Noble or Borders...Best Buy and Fry have them, too...
The albums are discussed in detail at www.amcorner.com
I hope I haven't sounded like an advertisement for Herb Alpert...but this music was a huge part of my formative years, just as it was for a lot of us. Here's a great chance to relive the magic.

Suprisingly intact, given it's age.

There was another three behind there too. Our climate has been described as a desert where it snows. Small town cars don't have much of a problem with rusting. The big cities have only recently started to salt the roads (salt doesn't seem to do much though - gravel is more effective for our snow).
-
I love old trucks.
:)
-
Lots of trucks around here in redneck country especially on farms and such. People just leave them by the barn when they get a new one. You can see whole history of truck family ownership in one spot.
-
That leave it by the barn mentality is prevalent here as well.

I noticed that one of the hottest items at the recent auction of Steve McQueen's memorabilia was the late 50's pickup he tooled around Hollywoodland in when he decided to take four instead of two wheels....While I dig the utility combined with the relative luxury of my wife's Titan, I have fond memories of my uncle's old GMC and Chevy trucks....no carpets, steel dash, roller windows/vents, and this gearshift that seemed to be around five feet tall sticking out of the floor....
r
-
old trucks also a lot easier to restore. And no one minds if its numbers matching, modified a bit and all that - unlike muscle cars and such.
I wouldn't mind something like this to fix up assuming infinite money, time and garage space ...

One thing I enjoy about driving through the middle of nowhere in Montana is being able to see 50 or 60 years of automotive history, just sitting outside somebody's old barn.
Some areas of the Blackfeet Reservation resemble junkyards more than ranches.

any place good in particular? I might just heading down to Montana soon to collect an engine.

What kind of engine warrants a visit to Montana?
Of course, this question arises from a Boston middle-of-stinkin-everything person who views Montana as a whole lot of sky and not much else. Comparatively, of course, that is exactly what it is, and I mean that in a very good way.
I'm just nosy about anything that includes both engines and Montana. And Dents. Looks like you hit the trifecta.
Oof, I think I just sprained my last neuron on that.

In all seriousness the Missoula/Kalispell/Whitefish corridor seems to be very fertile ground for classic car sightings. Although most of it is of the American variety.

Oh I'm just getting it shipped to a warehouse on the border there since UPS, etc nail us Canadian's for "brokerage" fees on all items from the US. Usually equivalent to 50% of the value of the item. >:(
As for the exact type of engine - its a secret until it arrives in my garage but its from my Seven project.
-
Interesting on many levels. I would expect that one could have a nice business warehousing UPS shipments at the border.
So it's a secret engine coming from the US? Not much we got down here that you didn't get up there. Price and availability are probably the issue.
Hmmm... I'm thinking Cummins Diesel... or maybe Triton V10. That would be interesting in a Super 7. Of course, the whole double amputee part is a bit disconcerting, but if you're building a Super 7 for comfort then you're doing it wrong. Right?
Hey, it couldn't be much worse than a Hemi Isetta.
(http://www.motorpasion.com/archivos/images/DragIsetta02.jpg)
-
You can safely assume it has less than 10 cylinders but more than 1. I could certainly find one of these engines in Canada but this one is a rather nice price - and only 400 miles on a rebuild with some really nice extras tossed in. I still have to finalize details.

It was great. I was disappointed they didn't play Wynona. Other than that, a great venue, great opening act, Rasputina, and a first class good time.

Here in Central Indiana transmission and electronics country, it seems like everybody drives a big SUV or minivan or pickup. They're all occupied by one or two people, and they're all driven about 10mph over the speed limit . The drivers all seem to have cellphones glued to their ears, and they like to drive down the middle of the road.
I'm not badmouthing pickups, though...I kust wish somebody made a small FWD truck for light hauling, like the Dodge Rampage or VW pickup. I also never could understand why Utes are so popular in Oz, but not here; at least, not any more...

In all seriousness, I've certainly learned that, as in everything, specialization is the key. For a cruiser, I wouldn't trade my DeLuxe for anything out there right now. Iron-butt marathons? Give me a GoldWing. Canyon Carving? I'd like my GSX-1000 please. I rode a Buell not long ago, trying to continue to bleed Harley orange, but in all honesty, it really couldn't compare to the 'Zuk for sheer terror-inducing performance.
BTW, Vdub, the comparison that might be closer re- the Porsche/Harley item would be a late-sixties Chevelle 454/Harley. Great for what it is; lousy for what it isn't.

In honor of Porridgehead's appearance in this thread, I present one of his better posts from the Car Lounge. (yes, apparently I've been e-stalking him)
[useless annonying post with no usable content] The wonderful thing about Chevette Diesels is that there is actually very little that can go wrong that can be discerned from what was wrong to begin with. From a design, usability, durability and comfort standpoint, the Chevette stood alone because nobody wanted to get close to the damn wretched things.
Like any good agricultural tool, they were simple machines with refinement being a quality that was not simply abandoned, but actively fought against. Favored for their sluglike performance, they were the preferred vehicle for people who had long given up on any quality of life. Frequently seen heaped to the gunwales with epherma, clothing and trash, they are favored by the trailer park crew. This solitary fact has finally dispelled the long held theory that trailer parks attract tornados. After extensive testing, the Baglady School of Atmospheric Studies in Topeka came to the determination that, in fact, it is actually Chevettes that attract tornados. Something to keep in mind while looking at one.
The Diesel Chevette is the maggotgulp in a plate of bad clams. It has all the charm of Ipecac and the desirablity of ringworm. It makes a good pit car, in that if you have a pit, a diesel Chevette is a good thing to throw in it. If you can find it in the stripper "Scooter" trim, you have not just hit the bottom of the barrel, you've started to furiously dig.
If you are looking at one in the near future, there are a few key items to look for:
1) Any other car with the possible exception of the Cosworth Vega or Triumph Stag.
2) Disinfectant. Make sure that some is handy. Tetanus is bad, but necrotizing bacteria is far worse.
3) A serious re-evaluation on what you consider imporant in life.
No matter the condition of a Chevette, they can be had for very little. That is, of course, if self-respect, adequacy, image and quality hold no value for you whatsoever. Otherwise, the price is far too much. A free Chevette in mint condition should be met with the same joy as receiving free herpes.
Yeah, I owned one.

Rich and Tifosi both read without posting.

Diesel Chevette are one of the most rare modern American cars actually. The Pontiac Acadian (only sold in Canada) Diesel would be the real collector of the bunch :P

Naw, the rarest of the Chevettes is pictured here.

How do you know it's the same Porridgehead? There could be mo- aw screw it.
If nothing else I know when to abandon a meritless argument. Sad to say, if you stumble across the name Porridgehead, yeah, it's me. The single redeeming feature of this is that there are millions of s**t-for-brains out there.

Shit for brains......
Yep. I think I know what you mean. ;)

I always thought of the Chevette as the American Trabant.

That's rather unfair to the Trabant.

Yeah, I guess it is...also checked E-Bay...no Chevettes listed. I guess they've all disappeared, off to wherever junk passes on to...

Just bought a Matchbox 1956 Cadillac Eldorado diecast...pretty interesting, except for the sidepipes and the taillights painted on the blades of the fins instead of the jetpods below them.
Anybody else collect diecasts like me?
Dan
-
I have a few. My favorite is a Hot Wheels Deuce Coupe - very nice paint job - deep red with small flames behind the front fenders. Nice by Mattel standards, anyway. And no superfluous go-fast junk tacked on. Boyd-like, I guess I'd call it.
Reminds me of the story of how me and my buddies combined Hot Wheels and model rocket motors in a re-creation of Evil Knievel's Snake River Canyon jump. It was glorious... ;D
-
I like that car, too. I have a bunch of cars, mostly hot rods, customs and exotics. I have an Alfa B.A.T. 9, a Maserati MC 12 and a 1959 Corvette Stingray I used to answer my first autopuzzle.
I try to collect First Editions; a couple of years ago, things got a little out of hand when Mattel went crazy with a bunch of cartoonish cars...then they upped the ante to 100 First Editions for 2005. I like to get at least a couple of each car, plus any wheel/color variations I'm aware of, so things got way out of the realm of common sense. This year, there were only 38 First Editions, so common sense seems to have prevailed.
The cars aren't as easy to find in the stores these days...Wal-Mart is the only major store that carries a large selection right now. Target and Meijer, the other major discount stores here, don't have nearly as many as they did just a year or so ago.
Finding Treasure Hunt cars is roughly akin to standing in line for a new PS3, you have to plan ahead and talk to the toy manager to know when a new shipment is coming in, and when it'll be dumped into the bin. I have about half-a-dozen, and I've been collecting seriously for several years.
I started when my sons were small, it was a good way to teach them about cars. Now, I say I'm collecting for my grandchildren. And, with all the cars available, including a surprising number of classics, it's almost like going to Barrett-Jackson, and a whole lot cheaper!
Dan
-
Agreed - and I can keep them all in the heated garage that is my basement!
-
The only downside is that my California Car Duster doesn't work so well on them...
Dan
-
I can imagine.
-
Chevettes are still found around here - I came across these a while back. I wouldn't mind one for ice racing ...

I read someplace that in a survey of exotic car owners that BMW owners reported having sex nearly twice as often per week as Porsche owners did. Maybe the adage is true..."Porsches will get you through times of no sex better than sex will get you through times of no Porsches..."

Patience, my good man. It took me 15 minutes to read through everything from my last post a month ago. Didn't want to risk repeating anything.
I've since learned about a few bands, seen some cool old trucks and a cool new-to-its-owner beater truck, and generally gotten dumber by 17% for having read everything. Luckily I found this gem...
I think that I shall never see, an AutoPuzzles comment lovely as a tree.
~Ogden Nash Rambler.
...from KU which made me 17% brighter. That's still a net loss for you math sticklers out there, but I'll take it.
I also wonder if a "Must NOT post" thread would actually garner more posts, given the general contrarian nature of the average AP'r. That's my thought for November. I try to limit myself to one a month.

Not that I know of.
Then again, there's not a whole heckuva lot that I do know, so it's well within the realm of possibility. If you consider the question on a universal level, the amount of information bloats to infinite, while my knowledge withers to infinitessimal. Thus, based solely upon my knowledge, statistically it becomes a certainty that I am indeed this Rushman.
I just hope that, as Rushman, I'm having a good time and will be home in time for dinner.

Wit : One's wits are one's intellectual powers of all types. Native wit — meaning the wits with which one is born — is closely synonymous with common sense. To live by one's wits is to be an opportunist, not always of the scrupulous kind. To have one's wits about one is to be alert and capable of quick reasoning.

-
Nice story, but we all know what really happened -- The wife caught you looking at some obscure rusted hulk that was once a car on Craigslist, and came after you with a frying pan.
-
haha - that would definitely be a better sorry - sadly only my stupidity to blame for this one.

Talk about your weird car stories...once I opened my car door on an incline, reached over to pick up something on the seat, and started to get out of the car only to get my head caught between the top of the car and the window...the door swung back to close as I was getting out. It was an '81 Dodge Mirada with frameless glass, and it almost broke my neck. Honest.
Boy, was that a car...killer looks, leather seats, 3500lbs with an 85 hp Slant-Six...and looonnng, heavy doors.

I had a disco era Z28 so I know all about long doors. My Dad's Taurus (at the time) tried to kill me once. Driving down the highway and the power seats moves all by its self to the closest position crushing my legs. Pulled over, extracted myself, moved seat back and gingerly drove the rest of the way without a further incident.

You know, I've never actually seen a Dodge Mirada. Sometimes I suspect that cars like that were just made up by the older generation to scare us youngins.
-
Once in a blue moon they'll show up on EBay, usually with a 440 stuffed under the hood, or rusty enough you can see through them...Chrysler built them from 1980-1983 as an anti-Cutlass Supreme. Mine was probably the most unreliable car I ever owned...kept it 5 years and only put 50,000 miles on it. Couldn't keep an exhaust system or front brakes on it, the trunk hinges broke because the automatic opener would literally shoot the lid open so hard that if you stuck a rock on the closed trunk and opened it from inside, you ran a serious risk of busting your own windshield. Andd those !!!**&@&**!! doors...
Dan
-
Yikes!

And I forgot to mention that my ex father-in-law and I had to put a new rearend in it. Tightening spring bolts is fun...also, had to replace the catalyst right after I bought it...at 25,000 miles...the cat was clogged, and backpressure from the exhaust was blowing up through the carburetor, making a shreiking noise when I hit the gas. The engine got so down on power that it could hardly climb a moderate hill in Marion, IN [just a river bluff...]; and I was on a double date. Very embarrassing...

I never drove on of those.
I was watching part of the Stingray marathon last night, until the wife put on yet another one of her forensics shows. She watches the documentary and the 'ripped from today's headlines' dramas. I call the latter 'corpse operas'.
I'd be happy to watch a forensics investigation of a bank heist or something once in a while, but murder sells, I guess.
Sad that they will never run out of murders to detail. Sickening.

Dan

I don't care for her, Nancy or Quincy.

A quick Google image search for those who don't know what she looks like reveals..... <me>:
Nothing.
I am destined to remain uncertain as to your assertation, Tifosi, until you provide some sort of photographic corroboration.
:P

She's usually on CNN during the day...I just think she's cute. If she won't Google, well...she's still cute.
Dan

If you type in FREDERICKA Whitfield at Google, you'll get a picture. I think she looks better on the air, but the shot captures her on-air personality. She reminds me of Claire Huxtable, without the mean streak.

I drove 1300kms in a $400, 23 year old truck to pick up a transmission and spare motor. Going there was fine (if a bit cold). On the way back I loss my printed directions, and had to drive through a big blizzard. Oh fun!

You're a braver man than I. That's a hell of a showing by your Mazda -- My van never liked to run in anything below 0*F, and last winter the Passat was difficult to start at -20*.
And Tifosi (Dan), when it rains, it pours. Hope everything pans out for the best.

Odd how it's those kinds of trips in those kinds of vehicles always attached me to them, sometimes in a not so healthy way years later when they should have been junked but weren't because of, blech, sentimentality.

In all honesty, "Night Moves" is about the only tune I like...not for the tune per se', but for a certain memory....
"I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Funny how the night moves
When you just don't have that much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closin' in...."
-
Took a look down a westbound road,
Right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on
Twelve hours out of mackinaw city
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what Id decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didnt have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin
Roll, roll me away,
Wont you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
And Im sick of whats wrong and whats right
We never even said a word,
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight
We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone
Stood alone on a mountain top,
Starin out at the great divide
I could go east, I could go west,
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin
Roll, roll me away,
Im gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin,
Keep searchin till I find whats right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
Well get it right

Just grabbing cool pics to whet your appetite and spice up the thread.
Here is a pic of my model sled
(http://images.50below.com/facility/interlakes.us/819515.jpg)
Mine has an M-10 long travel suspension kit.
Description...
This is a 1991 Polaris RXL. It is an Indy Wedge chassis with the Fuji 650 motor that had been made with a throttle body injection.
Carbed 650 motors had 98 hp from the factory. However this motor took well to modifications, pipes, porting, shaving the heads were just a few common tricks to get these sled outward of 120-130 hp. These numbers were insane at the time.
The RXL's at the time were a little more difficult to work on, you need a chip to change the EFI's signal when adding pipes, the most common mod to the 650 motor. However as you'll see this sled can be switch over to carbs very easily.
History...
A little bit of history, the RXL was first introduced in the 1970's as an oval racer. These early models are very sought after by collectors, because most of them were raced an hold some value in the history of snowmobiling. RXL stands for "Racing Xperimental Liquid." It was a great success on the racing scene.
By 1989 the RXL had been put to rest for nearly a decade and Polaris was looking to introduce an EFI model of their multi-purpose butt kicking sled the Indy 650. So they decided to revive the name, seeing as the project would be experimental.
The new RXL recieved great praise before anyone had even ridden it. Some made outrageous claims of 140-160 hp. Many called this the future of snowmobiling, which they were right, but it didn't produce much more power than the carbuerated model and the fuel economy was barely affected. They claimed fuel economy changes of 10-15%. Power was supposed to be affected as much as 20%, but then the number began to get more realistic and ended at a 5% power gain over a carbed motor. SLP and PSI both offered EFI conversion kits based off the Polaris system. Most cost cost well over $1000.
1990 was the first year of the revived RXL name. It had the standard 8 front and rear suspension with the dial adjust. As said the claims of power were outrageously exagerated. But you didn't have to rejet when going into the mountains.
The RXL would recieve a throttle body injection system. This system would be greatly criticized and even brought into courtrooms. The EFI was subject to breakdowns and suffered from an already weak ignition system on the early Indy's. In 1998 a company named Injection Research Specialists Inc. based in Colorado sued Polaris in a trade-secret misappropriation claim. The court upheld a previous ruling against Polaris in the amount of $34 million. Due to the ruling Polaris had to discontinue the RXL model and many other EFI models as well.
In the mid 1980's Ronald Chasteen invented a prototype EFI system, he spent a few years developping and perfecting it. The EFI system effectively replaces the carburetor in a two-cycle engine, increasing the engine's efficiency and allowing it to operate at an optimum level under variable atmospheric and temperature conditions. Injection Research obtained patents to protect numerous features of its EFI system. Then in 1987 approached Polaris with an offer to work together to implement the system on a snowmobile. Over the next fifteen months, Injection Research worked with Polaris to develop a contractual relationship, which included sharing trade secrets with Polaris. In 1988 Injection Research Specialists had found that Polaris hired Gerhardt Maier a former IRS employee. Polaris insisted that Maier would merely assist in cultivating Polaris' interest in EFI and its relationship with Injection Research. In December of 1988 Polaris told IRS that it was no longer interested in pursuing the EFI system on a snowmobile and backed out of the agreement, saying it was too costly. One year later Polaris began selling the industry's first EFI-equipped snowmobiles.
In 1990, Injection Research brought a suit (the "Polaris action") against Polaris. Injection Research amended its complaint in late 1991 to add as defendants Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. ("Fuji"), Polaris' engine supplier, and JECS, which manufactured the EFI system used in the Polaris/Fuji snowmobile engines. IRS claimed the Polaris EFI system was riddled with IRS patented technology. JECS produced documents in the case indicating it had not developped the system independently. It indicated that it used the same approach IRS used to develop their system. The trade secret claim was upheld.
Polaris wasn't the only snowmobile manufacturer to get sued however. Artic Cat was also sued by Injection Research Specialist Inc. Although they were sued, the Statue of Limitations prevented Injection Research Specialists Inc. from collecting damages.

BTW, unusually warm temps in the 60's the last couple of days. The cold front is forecast to hit on Thursday.

It is good. Bias aside, I would encourage anyone to taste test my pizza and decide for themselves.
No, I don't get tired of it. Once or twice a week still after all of these years in the food business.
-
Do you stay with the same recipes and ingredients? I used to work for a major pizza delivery company about 25 years ago, and we were constantly changing sauce ingredients and types of sausage. Also, every month or so, there was a new official company method of draining mushrooms and cutting onions.
Dan
-
I'm a serious connoisseur of fattening foods, and I wouldn't say this unless I meant it. Having sampled U's wares, I can say it's on par with the best pizza I've tried anywhere... and living in a Big Ten college town, one gets exposed to a lot of good mom n' pop pizza places.
-
I make the same pizza everyday, with the same recipe that I got from my mother's pizzeria. I make them always with the same ingredients. The very best ingredients money can buy. I should know. I worked for two of the largest, most respected foodservice companies in the world as a salesmen. Sysco Food Services and Gordon Food Service, if you are curious. I could teach you quite a lot about food. Most of it, however, you would really rather not know. ;)
-
I never get sick of pizza, but avoid the most of chains (Little Caesers, Dominos, etc.) When Jet's started out, they were pretty good, but now that they have expanded, not so great.
-
mmmm....pizza....
-
Yep!
-
I do enjoy a good pizza - usually avoid the chain store stuff (although the Pizza Hut stuffed crush can be good). There is a little place near where I work that sells massive slices for $2.50 each - good stuff athough the place its self is rather dingy. Best pizza I've ever had was in England in a little village.
-
mmm....pizza.....
-
Mmmmm pizza$.
;D
-
I worked for Domino's before all the bad publicity over the 30 minute guarantee got started. It was really exciting to see a company really "get off the ground" ; CIP: the company newsletter really played up the expansion into Canada, where they were flying blind ... especially the farther north they went. This was 1983, and the vehicle chosen for delivery there was a Russian Lada, complete with an auxiallary starter crank! In Sault St. Marie, Michigan, they used small boats to deliver to the lakers at the locks, and Jeep CJs ffor the rest of the area. They ran a pipe from the exhaust manifold to the beds of small pickup trucks to keep the hotboxes warm in some places.
Also, the guys who franchised out in Alaska and Canada had to make their own sauce[according to company recipes, which constantly changed...], because the company couldn't send trucks there. They might have had to make their own sausage, too...I don't remember.
My favorite of the big chains was always Noble Roman's; the Monster was the best, followed by the Deep Dish Sicillain. Some of the bigger malls in the area have Luca's Pizza, and that's a pretty good slice, New York style...but I agree, the best pizza in town is usually local. Pizza Hut , Domino's and all the other big chains all taste the same to me.
I could tell you some delivery stories...

I saw a bunch of Ladas in Sault St. Marie, Ontario the last time I visited in 1982. They all looked like mid-'60's Fiats, which I suppose they really were. I always wondered whgat all those Lada owners did for parts after the 1980 Russian invasion of Afghanistan. I was under the impression that the Canadian government stopped the importation of Russian cars after that. It must have resumed later...did it stop for while, or did the Lada just run into a period of political incorrectness?

Lada Nivas - very sturdy and cheap but not very fast. The 30 min guarntee isn't offered in the winter here.
I saw a bunch of Ladas in Sault St. Marie, Ontario the last time I visited in 1982. They all looked like mid-'60's Fiats, which I suppose they really were. I always wondered whgat all those Lada owners did for parts after the 1980 Russian invasion of Afghanistan. I was under the impression that the Canadian government stopped the importation of Russian cars after that. It must have resumed later...did it stop for while, or did the Lada just run into a period of political incorrectness?
Dan
Ladas were sold here until the mid 90s

Marilu Henner :drool:
Isabella Hoffmann.

I gotta say, Dan, when you mention a woman, one can bet that internet images of her are not going to be easily found.
I like what I did find. O0
She played basically the same part on DEAR JOHN that Marilu played on TAXI. A lot of critics considered DEAR JOHN to be TAXI without the wheels. Isabella has always been somewhat of an underrated actress.

The werecar from Futurama.
Yep, it's Project Satan...built in 2019 by Anti-Chrysler of parts taken from the most evil automobiles ever made. A top secret project of the U.S. government, it utilized the steering wheel from Hitler's staff car, the left turn signal from Charles Manson's VW and the windshield wipers from the Knight Rider[the car wasn't evil, but its' windshield wipers were...it didn't come up much in the show, though...]. And, it was powered by Ed Begley Jr.'s electric motor...the most evil propulsion system ever conceived.
Somebody at Futurama was a car nut...a lot of the vehicles have styling touches from the "50's.
In one episode, robot gangsters who drive a hovercar that strongly resembles a late '70's Lincoln Town Car; in another, they have a spaceship that looks like a '34 Ford. There's a hovercar in another episode that is obviously supposed to be a red Corvette C4.
And in one Simpsons episode, from the same production company, Homer drove a Superbird.
There's a website, www.imcdb.com, that concerns itself with automobiles used in movies... it's based in France, but there are a lot of American and British films included in the database; and it's available in English. It's worth a look...
Dan
-
Generally speaking, it's always guys who look like Homer driving Superbirds.....

Ohio State vs. Florida for the title game. Every person in the state of Ohio has spent the past two weeks screaming about why Michigan shouldn't get a shot at a rematch, all the while knowing that U of M was the clear #2 team in the country -- although our margin of victory would've been a bit higher in that game had the center been able to get a good grip on the ball.

Nope...don't use it; haven't for over twenty years.

My buddy's is one of (might even be the actual) the first cars he ever owned. Only in the most humid, hot summer weather will he surrender to the Merc (that he calls his wife's car) for the air conditioning. He's a successful attorney and some days it's amusing to see him driving to court wearing a suit that's worth about three times more than his truck. He regularly hoses it out in the summer to clean the mud and whatever out and its engine bay is usually pretty spotless. Kind of funny how we attribute value to things.....

I wish I still had my first car...a 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury with a 361 and a Hurst 4-speed...it'd look like swiss cheese by now, but I'd still love it.

It was quite a car...120,000 miles, 2 bad cylinders and wouldn't start when it got below freezing. It had been my grandfather's car{honest}, and it's best years were long gone when I got it in the summer of '73. By 1973, it was almost impossible to find carb rebuild kits for 361s, or so the mechanic told me.
I loved the full-time power steering...you could parallel park with your little finger. Once the exhaust system rusted through on my way to Indy for a date. We took her dad's car on the town that night...first time I ever drove a Datsun 510. Wish I had one of those, too...

Hadda save that one...should be an advert for Volvo. Reminds me of the Jaguar ad I saw in CAR once, where a little boy was standing in front of the showroom window with his bicycle, and the caption read,"Someday, someday..."
It also explains my strange attraction to old 240-series Volvos.
Something about the car you grew up in I think - I still casually look for Datsun 510 wagons ... not that there are very many left.

I would be all over that IV thing....I hate taking the time and energy out to eat. I remember thinking when I was a kid and enamored with the space program that if I could just get all of my nutrition out of a tube in five minutes or less each day, it would make life so much easier. I cannot understand these "Top Chef" shows where food is discussed ad infinitum and is obviously such a huuuuuge part of peoples' lives....oh well....diff'rent strokes......
-
When you think of it, it's not so different from spending hundreds or thousands of hours building a hotrod or restoring a classic that gets used almost never, and furthermore, are used to do the same thing as a $12,000 Kia.
It is, also, a lot easier to emulate (or live vicariously through) a TV chef than it is Boyd Coddington or Chip Foose.

Is it just me, or is Rachael Ray more fun on her cooking show than on her other show?
Dan
-
I haven't seen her talk show.
-
I liked her in "Flaming Oral Stewardesses." :o

She just seems more at home in the kitchen than on a talk show stage. She seems to be trying too hard to be like Oprah.
Dan
-
...and there is, thank God in Heaven Above, only one Oprah....just ask her.

I hadn't ever even heard of her

Neither have I. I don't even remember her in "Flaming Oral Stewardesses."
-

She's on the Food Network. Her shows include 30 Minute Meals, $40 A Day[I think that's what it's called...] and Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels. She has a syndicated show that is sort of a lifestyle program[for women...] that Oprah is also involved with. If you could imagine Martha Stewart 30 years younger and in desperate need of Ritalin, you'd have Rachael.
I got a great hamburger recipe from her show not too long ago.
She's very likely the next Martha Stewart; actually, she's a delicate cross between her and Oprah.

I don't even remember the oral stewardesses.
I have specific memories of a few oral cooks in my time, however.

One nice surprise this Season...went to a local racing memorabilia store tonight and found a diecast 1/24 scale #10 Valvoline Pontiac driven by Johnny Benson for 3 bucks! Thought it was a mistake until the store owner pointed out that it needed a windshield[he just happenned to have it behind the counter]. I superglued it together, and put it on my DVD cabinet. it's a really neat piece, the hood opens and the front wheels steer. It isn't one of those 10 buck cheapies you see at Wal-Mart...no box, but who cares? It's a display model.
Now, if only trannies were so easy to come by...

Me, either...this might just be a good Christmas after all, though... my best friend's wife got some very good news this week. Evidently, the cancer was either misdiagnosed[which seems unlikely, given the level of expertise of the doctors involved...], or there was a Christmas Miracle; because the biopsy showed the tumor to be benign...no cancer at all. They still need to run some tests to determine just what happenned, but it evidently isn't cancer, at least not at this point.
They went to the hospital expecting the first round of chemotherapy, only to find out she didn't need any. So, they went to Friday's instead.

Nice use of the subjunctive pluperfect there, rich! :hah:
Back in a galaxy far, far away, there was a website called The Combustion Chamber sponsored by AutoWeek magazine. Rich and Ultra and KU and AD and I met over there and have drifted from one place to another since the site was shut down by the management. There was this fellow named Rushman who had a stream of consciousness style of delivery that would have done justice to your average in-patient in the locked ward at Bellevue. Entertaining? Defininitely. Sane? Decidedly not. For those of you who have never had the pleasure, try to imagine a cross between Prof. Irwin Corey and Stephen Hawking. :o

I quit subscribing the day they threatened to take the orignal CC away from everyone because I put a link to it on CC2. That was also the day I left the original CC, with bombast, to prevent the rest of CC from losing their forum.

The internet kinda killed AW for me. I subscribed from '87 up until a couple of years ago...I found I could get the auto news I wanted online much faster. AW's main selling point for years was the idea that they were able to get auto news to the public faster than any other publication, and the entire auto publishing world now has websites of their own; that puts AW in league with everybody else.
I wonder just how many other magazines will follow Winding Road's lead? I still like to be able to hold something in my hands, especially in the "reading room", but economies of scale being what they are, maybe DED, Jr. has the better idea...
Dan
-
like to be able to hold something in my hands,
Agreed. I enjoy curling up on the sofa, cat purring in my lap, dog at my heels, on Friday afternoon and catching up with automobiledom. Usually takes less than an hour to buzz through it, but its something I look forward to all week. Kinda marks the beginning of my weekend for me. Its worth 80 cents a week to me for that small pleasure. ;)
-
I feel that way about books these days much more so than popular magazines, the majority of which share the characteristics that tifosi describes....truthfully, have gotten kind of tired of the car stuff. It seems to me that there is a homogeneity being reached within various classes of vehicle; econoboxes all the way to supercars are all pretty much the same as others in their class. I don't really see the significant difference between a Lexus and a BMW and a Merc and an Audi as well as a Nissan or a Toyota or a Mazda or a Ford or a Chevy or a Pontiac or a Buick as well as a Ferrari or Lambo or Porsche or Aston...you get the drift. There's nothing out there that really "moves" me and the things that come close I cannot justify the price tag. All seem to be good cars w/in their classes with styling based on varying soap shapes, alloy sizes, and "technocrap." I'm not excited about hybrids (although I probably should be), tuners, SUVs, CUV's, MP3's, DOT's or anything else having to do w/ the carworld these days. I'm letting all my car mag subscriptions lapse, filling up the space w/ bike magazines. While I suppose the class homogeneity critique could apply there as well, it seems that bikes are holding more of my interest...and guitars....

I'm more into classic car magazines than the mainstream "buff" mags like MT, C&D, R&T, et.al.;I guess I like the nostalgia. Most new cars are cast from the same mold, and the magazines are all alike in their reporting on them. I'd like to see a car magazine that would deal with the nostalgic aspects of driving, what it was like to drive cars 20, 30 maybe even 50 or more years ago. I really like Hemmings publictions, although the proofreading leaves a little to be desired sometimes; Collectible Automobile should be monthly, and Sports Car market is a lot of fun and informative, especially when it comes to European cars. I subscribe to C&D and may renew Automobile; but i liked it better when DED, Jr. was still involved.
Dan
-
I just can't launch a steamship with a computer in my lap.
I still subscribe to C&D, R&T and AW, but mostly for John Phillips, Peter Egan and God knows what. I also subscribe to Car Craft because I like projects and the thought of 300hp for cheap cash has great appeal. This is expecially true for somebody who owns an E30 M3. And yes, I am aware that a SBC would fit in it, should the need arise. Sacrilage to be sure, but what the hell.

My favorite columnist was always Gordon Baxter...first discovered him in Flying, then when he wrote for C&D, every month was an adventure. Maybe part of it was that he was from Texas, and often wrote about Beaumont, Port Arthur, Kountze and Silsbee...my great uncle lived in Port Arthur. Nice place to visit when I was a kid.

have gotten kind of tired of the car stuff
Ah, ennui rears its ugly head. Tis true that today's manufacturers are producing a dizzying array of models off 2 or 3 platforms, each of which is pretty much the same under the skin.
Our society in general is suffering from over-homogenization to the point that the casual traveller can't tell the difference between Boise and Boston.
Even in racing, we have the incredibly stupid Car Of The Future in ASSCAR :shakehead:
There will never again be a vehicle that makes the impact on cardom that the 356 and the XK-120 did. And never again will Healeys and Jags and MG's race through the streets of Watkins Glen, where. according to legend, one contestant in 1952 put his racing TD into a perfect 4 wheel drift at one corner, slid gracefully into the outdoor seating area of a trackside bistro and decided to order a beer as long as he was already there! ;D
Personally, I fail to see the individual allure of 472 Harley pilots in a clot moving along at 45 mph, all wearing the same outfit and driving identical machines, but maybe I suffer from myopia on that subject.
It is clear that we have entered an era where there is a fierce competition to distinguish ourselves by joining certain "clubs" - Harley drivers, owners of rugged, flared, big tired snorting beast trucks or religious lunatics. Its all part of the same ball of wax. The more of us there are, the more we flagellate ourselves to be different from the madding crowd and end up begetting even MORE homogeneousness in our society.
The solution, as I see it, is to force every second person to submit to voluntary euthanasia. Either that, or drugs. :nana: :drink:

I've had the experience of being around "real" bikers and those that saw "Biker Build-off" or "American Chopper" and suddenly found themselves pining for the outlaw life. Truth is, most of the latter are afraid, not respectful, of their bikes, ride them very rarely as a result, never get to be better riders as a result, and end up trailering to Laughlin to walk the streets in their Armor-All'd leathers. "Real" bikers, being who they are, generally don't mind the rebel-come-latelys, but blanch a bit when lumped into the category of "trendsucker." I've met guys (and a couple of gals) who probably had records at least as long as most of my clients, yet would help you out in any way they could, oftentimes at the great expense of all they had. It's not a bad crew of guys, but I also wouldn't want to give any of them much shit until I knew them well enough that I could. Respect is a big thing when you're on two wheels.....

I've been wondering the same thing. He was always an entertaining read -- I lumped him in with Peter Egan, David E. Davis, and John Phillips as my favorite automotive journalists. I've rapidly been losing interest in C&D -- the new printed format blows and the writing has gone downhill as well. Patrick Bedard is annoying at best. I don't read Car and Driver for neo-con political commentary.
I sort of feel the same way Rich does when it comes to modern cars. Sure, they're all good, but everything is just so perfect and sterile. I just don't enjoy reading a comparison test of five almost-identical machines. Shit, just give me a guitar magazine.

trailering to Laughlin to walk the streets in their Armor-All'd leathers.
That's pretty much what I was trying to suggest in my prior comments. I drive around in the summertime with the top down in the Miata and see HUNDREDS of Harleys parked at the local biker bar while the owners are INSIDE in some dank, dark cave showing off their tats and their leathers. Wassup with that? I thought the purpose of having a bike was to RIDE! To go wherever the whim of the moment takes you. No?
Don't get me wrong. I LIKE bikes. Of my top ten fondest memories of adventures on wheels in my lifetime, at least 4 of them involve riding a motorcycle. I used to subscribe to Cycle World and such. I even remember an article from 35 years ago in some bike mag that was so well written it has stayed with me ever since. It was written by a fellow who was going cross country on a Moto Guzzi. At the end of a 600 mile day, with the sun low on the horizon in front of him, his pocket watch fell onto the pavement. For a moment, it spun along beside the bike, keeping pace, then it started to disintegrate, all the little wheels and springs spinning along, glinting in the sunlight. Slowly, slowly, the entire spinning mass fell astern, still reflecting sunlight in all directions until at last it all ended in a shower of golden sparks as the pieces hopped and bounced through the air, highlighted in the last, dying rays of sunlight.
What a metaphor for time and timelessness, for what is important in life and what is fluff. What a great story that was.
I have an older fellow who stays with us every summer. He is a retired cop who was a motorcycle officer back in the 50's. He's also a die hard Harley fan. He talks about the days when going for a ride meant wearing a spare chain around your neck and coming home with a stripe of chain lube up your back. He used to teach motorcycle riding to other cops, including how to lay the bike down and stand on the tank until the sparks stopped. HE is a motorcycle rider!
So, I don't have anything against bikes. I do laugh at the poseurs who are desk jockeys all week long and thing they are being bad boys by tooling along with 74 of their closest friends at 950 rpm on weekends. When I ride, I don't WANT someone else choosing the way. For me, half of the enjoyment is picking your own path. But then again, my gravestone will have Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" etched on it, so maybe that is the difference....... :huh:

Well, wish I speak you would clearly more.

I like chocolate milk better. Unless it is with cereal.
Skim milk or nothin' for me...... :'(
2% here. Unless it is chocolate.
I thought most chocolate milk WAS 2%...I usually go for 1/2% when I can find it; not too much fat, and it doesn't taste thin like skim does.
Dan
-
My wife insists on buying fat free organic milk, free of HGH or BGH or ADHD or even WOT! Unfortunately, it tastes like white colored tap water. To give you some idea of its charm, the CAT refuses to drink the stuff. We have to buy HIM half & half! :o

Anybody have a line on Brock Yates? Last I heard, C&D had given him "early retirement", and I haven't seen him pop up anywhere else. I'd really love a copy of his book Against Death and Time, if my kids are reading this...
Dan
The last I heard he was thinking of joining http://thetruthaboutcars.com/ but it fell through - that was a couple months ago.
-
Having grown up mostly on skim and .0001% milk, with added BGH for strong bones, I happened to take a slurp of full fat milk a little while ago. Ohmyfreakingsweetgodwithangelsrampantandcherubimonhigh. My taste buds didn't have a clue how to process it all, they simply fell into a state of spasm and promptly wet themselves with delight.
I honestly had forgotten what real milk tasted like. Of course, skim now tastes like diluted water that's been filtered through pressboard. I don't know what it's suitable for, but human consumption ain't it.
-
Sssssshhhhh! That process is supposed to be a trade secret. Some producers use sheetrock to give it more of a whitish color, but the flavor is pretty much the same...... :yuck:
-
Luckily for me, one of the gifts my parents gave me was a bodily inability to process fats and cholesterols normally, thereby granting me the pleasure of eating stale styrofoam and rice sandwiches for the rest of my extremely long life span.

I friend of mine, of the tinfoil-hat persuasion, owns a 1/2 interest in a cow, so that he doesn't have to drink milk poisoned by government-mandated pasteurizing. I took a little taste, and, boy howdy, it was sure different from that white water we've been bringing home from Costco.
Not sure about exposing myself to whatever it is pasteurizing is supposed to protect us from...
-
One should always exercise great care when exposing oneself! :hah:

It is easy to get real milk around here. There are lots of dairy farms that will sell you unpasteurized milk.

And I've also learned who FREDRICKA Whitfield is;

Had to take my 9 month-old car into the stealership for a stalling issue today. This week it developed a nasty tendency to not respond to the electronic throttle at inopportune times... it damn near caused a crash the other night. Nothing like letting off the clutch and feeding it some gas, only to be greeted by a whole lot of nothing. I re-crank it and everything will be normal for a while, until it decides to suddenly do it again. Embarrassing at the least, and downright dangerous at the worst. It happened when the tech was pulling it into the service bay -- if they still come back with the usual "unable to duplicate the problem" response, I don't think I can be held accountable for my actions. With a cross-country drive looming in the near future, I really don't want to be dealing with a phantom electrical gremlin.
Somebody explain to me why drive-by-wire is superior to a throttle cable again?

That sucks about the Audi. Some may recall that I was all set to buy the '01 Passat off my parents last winter. Seeing the cost of parts and realizing how many of them were going to need replaced in the next few years scared me away.
The Subie seems to be driving great. Whatever they did, it feels quicker off the line and that annoying tendency for the revs to hang up while the engine is cold has been cured. Can't wait to toss it around in some snow... I should get the chance in a couple of weeks when I drive out to CO to visit friends.

Just curious, Vdub, in our five-speed Impreza, the motor will briefly increase in rpm when the clutch is depressed even if I lift the throttle completely prior to hitting the clutch. Is this what yours was/is doing? Ours does it whether the engine's hot or cold.
BTW, eight inches of powder in 24 hours and I was cruising around in the stick Subie and having no problems whatsoever....the Audi awaits my decision at the shop........

That's exactly what it was doing. It was barely noticeable when warm, but it severely affected driveability when cold. There's barely a hint of it now... After reading on some Subie forums, I had pretty much accepted "they all do that".
I do know that when engaging the clutch without hitting the gas, the computer will gently throttle up to make the launch smoother. FWIW, I'd rather not have my car try to out-think me.

Are you thinking of Vera-Ellen, maybe? Mitzi Gaynor was in South Pacific.
I love IAWL, but a few years ago, it seemed that everybody was showing it at Christmastime. An aside: that main street set was over 900 feet long, and was one of the largest ever created. The "snow" was a first-time use of water and soap, blown by a large fan...previously, cornflakes were used to simulate snow, but were so loud that dialogue had to be redubbed later. The bridge scene was filmed on a 90 degree day, and Jimmy Stewart was really sweating in a couple of shots.
The George Bailey role was originally written for Cary Grant, and Jean Arthur was the original choice to play Mary. It was Donna Reed's first starring role.
The movie was originally a box office disappointment, as it was released the week after the blockbuster The Best Years Of Our Lives.

Yep, that was Vera. It's easy to get them confused, they looked a lot alike. Vera-Ellen was very popular in the late '40's and early'50's, but seems to be forgotten today. An accomplished dancer and singer, her career was marred by health problems. I wish I were better at posting images, but a good place to find info about her is www.indb.com...just type in Vera-Ellen or White Christmas at the top of the page.

Well we're big rock singers
We've got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty
And we sing about truth
For ten-thousand dollars a show
We take all kinds of pills
That give us all kinds of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll get ya
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Gonna see my picture on the cover
(Stone)
Gonna buy five copies for my mother
(Stone)
Gonna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
Got a freaky ol' lady
Name o' "Cocaine Katy"
She embroidries on my jeans
Got my poor ol' grey-haired daddy
Drivin' my limousines
Got all the friends
That money can buy
But the thing I'll never own
Is the thrill that'll get ya

Jason came in from Peoria
Wearing silk sunglasses

One drink of that stuff and -Zam!-

Became ceilings became doors
The singer just kept singing "Feelings"

Needless to say, the party broke up
That flashing tie was a riot!
And what was that other remark that you made?
Oh yes, you're unemployed.

Feelings, nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Teardrops rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it

You'll never come again
Feeling, woo-o-o feeling
Woo-o-o, feel you again in my arms
Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I'll never have you again in my heart
Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again
Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I'll never have you again in my life

Just picked up the Sports Illustrated Collector's Issue the other day...they predict that Tony Stewart will be the '07 Nextel Cup Champion and that Juan Montoya will probably win at least one race, probably one of the road courses. i can see Tony winning the Cup again, but I think Montoya will have his work cut out for him next year; he has to learn how to drive the contemporary car and the Car Of Tomorrow at the same time.
If anybody can adjust quickly to NASCAR, it'll be Juan, but I think he'll struggle for the first year...he may not even be Rookie-Of-The -Year. And that so-called Car Of Tomorrow; well...I just don't see it being much of a cure-all for the issues NASCAR hopes it'll address. It will be slower, with more downforce, but the teams with the most resources will find the little tweaks that will elude the smaller teams.
The Toyotas are supposedly competetive right out of the box, if reports from an open test session at Michigan International Speedway are accurate; but SI's prediction that a Toyota team will challenge for the chase is a bit of a tall order, IMO.
These are my observations...what do the rest of you guys think?
Dan
-
They're still running NASCAR?
-
Yeah, 36 races is a looooonnngg schedule, isn't it? That probably has a lot to do with NASCAR's declining popularity over the last couple of years. The IRL usually ends in September, F1 in October, and Champ Car about the same time, but NASCAR goes on and on...all the way up to Thanksgiving, and with the banquet during the Christmas season. I caught a glance at the Truck series banquet, and there were Christmas decorations all over the place.
Would you watch a prime-time TV series over 36 weekly episodes? Sometimes, that's what NASCAR seems to be to me...maybe it's time to cut back on the schedule...

Probably sad to say, but I am not looking forward to watching any of the racing season this year. Since the Champ/IRL split, which used to be my favorite series, I've kinda lost interest in it altogether. F1 is usually a parade, NASCAR is taking on a WWF feel for me, IRL/Champ races typically run fields of 18 cars or so, and SCCA stuff is typically difficult for me to catch. If anything has my interest at all it's the rally stuff, but that too is so inconsistently covered on Sped vision that it's hard for me with my schedule to follow.
-
I do relate to your feelings about motorsports of late, Rich.
Still, I think the 24 hours of Daytona looks like a real good race.

Auto racing in general seems to be on a bit of a downer of late, but there are a few bright spots; I'm really looking forward to seeing what Juan Montoya does in NASCAR, and if Danica Patrick doesn't win for Andretti-Green, she probably never will for anybody. Marco Andretti will be fun to watch, also...he'll probably end up in F1 in a couple of years, driving one of those red cars...

Went to the Indy Auto Show Sunday afternoon, and came away rather unimpressed. Some observations:
No Ferraris, but I expected that...
No Rolls-Royces, but there were 3 Bentleys...
The plastic interior, textured as it may be, doesn't work nearly as well in the Lincoln Town Car as it does in my buddy's Sable wagon...
Korean cars appear to be relative bargains compared to just about everything else on the market...
If Porsche could open up its' Cayenne, why not the Boxster?
Ford's talking robot was a very lame display...
Toyota had its' NASCAR Craftsman Truck and NEXTEL CUP models on prominent display, and nobody seemed to notice...
All the domestic cars and trucks looked the same, and little different from the Japanese and Korean offerings...
It was nice to be able to sit in a Jaguar.
The Chrysler Imperial Concept car looks much better in person than in print, and really should be produced. It would be the ultimate in bling...
It was more fun listening to the Colts game on the car radio on the way home than it was trying to find an interesting new car.
Next year, I'm staying home. New cars are boring!

I used to make a big deal about going to NAIAS in Detroit each January. I missed last year, and I won't make it this year either, and I'm not overly bummed. Driving 200 miles each way and paying $12 to walk around a room full of GeneriCars just isn't doing it for me anymore.

At least the Indy show was only 6 bucks, but the only concept cars I saw were the Imperial, a Camaro and a Suzuki something-or-other with 4 doors and no top, looked like their current SUV turned into a phaeton. There WAS a mean looking Saleen S7, but there was a crowd around it, and lots of signs saying "do not touch"...

I'm asking because I saw a rather nice looking one at a dealership the other day while shopping with my son. We're trying to replace the oil-burrning, tranny-damaged Dodge truck I've mentioned here. The Taurus has about 60,000 miles, is very clean, and the engine sounds smooth[haven't driven it yet...]. It's a 3.0 litre. Asking price is about 3500 dollars. Consumer Reports rates the car pretty highly, FWIW...of course, even a pogo stick would be better than that truck...

The 3.0 is more reliable than the notorious 3.8. Watch out for a slipping transmission -- the slushbox is the main downfall of these cars. With my '95 SHO, electrical gremlins were the biggest problem -- the car spent probably three months in the shop over two years.

The transmission is a real sore point - they have an internal design flaw so they all fail eventually. 1995 saw an improvement as well as 2003.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_AXOD_transmission for a little bit of detail. Fwd + V6 in almost all brands is generally not a great combo until recently.
That said my Dad's old 97 is running well for my brother.

I checked into the Wikipedia article... The car has a lot of invoices in the glovebox regarding oil changes, tire replacements, etc. Apparently, the previous owner was a stickler for preventative maintenance, which was another plus for me. I would want to make sure the transmission fluid was changed at 30,000 miles before buying. Thanks for the info about the trans.

Does anybody remember a TV show starring Walter Brennan as an inventor who built a car named after his character, the Andrew? He was CEO of Thunder Corporation, but liked to pose as a handyman. The show featured a lot of cars, and Tommy Ivo[TV Tommy, we used to call him...] was featured in one episode. It wasn't very successful, only lasting 1 season, but it was kind of interesting because of the cars.
I'm racking my brain trying to remember the name of the show.
Dan
-
The show was called The Tycoon, and ran from 1964-1965. There were only 8 episodes. Interestingly, George Lindsey ws a co-star, before his "Goober" days.
Dan
-
The Tycoon? Not that I remember it or have ever seen it, but imdb.com is a good friend o' mine. That and Walter Brennan was born the next town over from me. Right next door to Walter, in my home town, Starling Burgess did the bulk of his aeronautic work, including the first Naval Airplane. Starling was responsible for a gread deal of the design and construction of the Dymaxion. The Dymaxion was notable for never having appeared on the Motor Mouse and AutoCat show, which was one of my favorite shows about the time that The Tycoon was on TV, which may explain why I'm not familar with The Tycoon.
And that is my six degrees of oblivion.

Saw some rather unusual automotive items the past week...one was a late-model Cavalier in the local Wal-Mart parking lot; it was lime green/lemon yellow, with a big wing on the back and huge tires and rims. It looked like it could have been a NOPI project car, rather attractive as those things go, but it had the strangest paint job....the whole ting was covered with ORANGE PEEL. It HAD to be intentional...the paint was shiny, covered well, but mottled as a pock-marked lemon...is this in vogue? How would anybody wax such a car?
Saw my first "donk" car kit in the toy section of the same store...a Monte Carlo, natch...
Also saw a Deora kit, the box stated the car had a 396 V8...even though it also stated the car was based on a Dodge A100 pickup.
And, not only are there Hot Wheels versions of the new Camaro available, there's also a 2006[?] Heritage Camaro kit available from AMT.

BTW, ricers are just the rodders of the new millenium; Detroit kind of abandoned them, as well as the rest of the market, IMO, for a while and they turned to other accessible cheap modes of transport w/ a significant aftermarket body. My pop says that when he was coming of age, rat-rodders were just as despised for their noisy, shitty cars, and their driving habits....the more things change........

The Porsche powered Gremlin didn't appear until 1977, so he missed that piece of creamy goodness. But he could have had the 304 V8, so that's a plus.

I once delivered pizzas in a 70 below windchill. Had to wear insulated undies AND longjohns. we kept our cars running constantly, and it was so cold that the cruise control didn't work. January 1984 was one of the coldest on record in Indiana. So far this year, we haven't even had an inch of snow, yet...

Roads are glazed over here tonight, snow predicted. With winter's repose about to be over, I hope mild is theme over the next couple of months.

Yeah, I'm kinda in the mood for spring already....... :-\

I'm ready for summer. Girls in short shorts, driving with the top down, girls in short shorts, Brickyard 400, girls in short shorts...
Does short shorts seem sexier if I hyphenate it? Short shorts, or short-shorts?

Who wears short-shorts?

I like thongs.

Yaknow, it kinda depends; our old friend Falcon used to post some babes that were a bit on the, uhhh, plus side. For them, I really dig caftans..........

Speaking of the Mulsanne, I've been reading Brock Yates' book Against Death And Time...got it from Amazon, along with Christopher Hilton's Le Mans '55. Both are interesting, but I can't see why Yates tried to be a novelist...the book would have played out better as factual. The best part, I think, was the story of Bill Vukovich. Those drivers of the '50's were certainly a breed apart from the "professionals" of today...much more colorful and inventive...A.J. Foyt used to say that if a car didn't handle well, you MADE it handle. Those guys certainly were courageous.
Reading Hilton's book, I was shocked at just how narrow LeMans used to be, especially the pit straight. In one picture, the cars at speed were so close to the ones in the pits that there didn't look like there was enough room for more than 2 abreast, and they would have to be practically sideswiping each other. A pit worker could literally stand at the front of a parked car and reach out and touch a car going by at 150mph.
Those were character-building and romantic days, I guess; and I came of age in 1964, which was almost as bloody as 1955...but I wouldn't ever want to go back to them...
BTW, I asked awhile back what Yates was up to now, and I just found out he's written a book about Mike Boyle, Wilbur Shaw's car owner from '39-'41. It looks like an interesting red, too.

My favorite automotive novel remains "Stand on It" by Stroker Ace. It's a stinking great read that makes you want to go do really irresponsible things in cars.
Bummer about the movie though.

Yeah, it was kinda lousy. Never read the book, but probably will soon. Umbrella Mike is the name of Yates' latest. It's on sale at Amazon. Too bad I spent all my Christmas money, already...

Some experiences I'd much rather experience vicariously.
(*phew* - I misread the original post and responded in an utterly ridiculous fashion. I'm glad nobody saw that.)

I really enjoyed Yates' book on Enzo Ferrari. He also wrote a book on early Indy 500 cars/drivers whose title escapes me, but seems to be a staple of most libraries in the area, at least central Indiana, if you don't mind looking in the Youth Section. It had a very interesting and informative chapter on the Miller-Gulf cars of the late '30's.
As I remember, it was written in the mid '1960's and is probably long out-of-print.

I like regular limos. You can't get head in a convertible limo without too great a risk of causing a disturbance.

we get tons of those big arsed truck limos. thankfully none of the gullwing Corvette type. A friend of mine has an early 80s Caddy limo that he picked up cheap. Well trashed but oh so 70s/early 80s.

Actually thought of getting one of those when my kids were small...bought a minivan instead. One problem with the van, my oldest [who was about 3 at the time] would get out of his car seat and open up the groceries on the way home from town.

Damn, I leave for a week and this thread balloons another 12 pages.
For those who care to know, I moved into the house in Missoula, MT yesterday. I have to go register for class on Wednesday, and then next Monday it's back to the grind. I had a good trip out -- got to spend a week visiting friends in Steamboat Springs on the way here. Sadly, all of that snow that's been hitting Denver has been missing the high country; the mountain was a little bare.
It's a balmy 5 above right now, but most of Montana has gotten jack squat in terms of snowfall this winter. Stupid El Nino... I blame Mexico for this.
-
Glacier this summer?

Why of course. Just get your ass on Highway 2 and keep on comin'.

Looks like myself and a couple other bikers could end up there.....

If you've never had a chance to see the place, you owe it to yourself to do it. I know some great places to camp out here too.

Re- getting some higher speeds out of your Shadow....in this month's Cycle World, there's a tech question about same, and the eds comment that a tested Shadow ('83 I believe) topped out at around 105.

Bike has only got around 11,000 miles on it.
It will be in the shop in the spring. We will see what they say. I am hoping they can help me get a little more umph out of it.

Compression issues would be strange w/ such low miles, but it certainly wouldn't be unheard of, particularly for a V-twin....some people actually abuse their machines, donchyaknow.......

You know, every time I'm in the state of Idaho, I'm pleasantly surprised. Good scenery, friendly locals (just don't get into a political discussion with one of them), wide open spaces. Not a bad place to be. I'm actually only about 25 miles as the crow flies from the Land Of Potatoes.

For me, it's gotta be the real mountains. Kamloops, Banff.........beyond belief, and well beyond my ability to describe. This picture relays about 1/1,000,000 of what the senses take in.

Really odd then that you can't get more high end out of it....talked to another biker bud of mine, one with MUCH more wrenching experience than myself on sickles...he agrees that something must be up...hard to tell w/o the bike in front of him, though....
Does it go "kapockita POW, kapockita POW, puckita puckita puckita (cough) POW?"

I think it runs quite smooth.
Perhaps exhaust blockage is causing too much back pressure at high rev's. I will start to pursue in-depth answers at the Honda Shadow forum also.

The scenery in Glacier is very, very similar to Banff. Makes sense, since they're only 150 miles apart.
I've been to Banff twice, and it's been so rainy both times that I've barely been able to see a thing.

150 miles is a tank of gas for me. Bike gets 60 miles to a gallon.

Heard the sad news today that Benny Parsons has died, and earlier this month we lost Bobby Hamilton as well...I know this isn't the biggest NASCAR crowd, but I thought it would be appropriate to acknowledge their careers.
Benny was champion in 1973, and one of the first of the former drivers to find a second career in broadcasting. At the time when he should have been anticipating a well-deserved retirement, he was diagnosed with lung cancer, and after receiving news that it was in full remission, complications from losing a lung led to his passing.
Hamilton was at the pinnacle of his career, having won the Craftsman Truck Championship recently, and was one of the top drivers in the series, and was diagnosed early last season with a cancerous growth in his neck. He fought a courageous fight against the illness, as well.
Both men were consummate sportsmen and champions who reflected the ideals of the sport. They will be missed...
Dan
-
Jalopy. A great word.
-
Yeah, for whatever reason, I felt kinda bad when I heard that Parsons died. Dunno why, but think it must have been particualrly painful for those involved in that he was pronounced "cancer-free" just months before it killed him....false hope is worse than no hope....

I think January 1st was the phase-in for the new passport rules, but they keep getting pushed back so who knows. I do know that last year, having a passport greatly streamlined the process... we'd cross the border just to get to the duty free shop.
My experience at the border crossing near Glacier (port of Piegan) was that the Canadian guards are friendly and professional, whereas the US Customs goons made me feel like a criminal for trying to re-enter my own country.

Must have been my dumb luck. Last time through the border, we were caravaning behind friends in another car coming back from the Stampede. The first car gets through just fine and then the first words out of my buddy's mouth as we pull up to the booth are "Man, I can't believe you let those guys in." The Stacy Keach-esque border guard didn't see the humor in that.
-
FYI, I might be driving up to Glacier tomorrow, weather permitting. They plow the road about 10 miles in on the west side, and Lake McDonald is absolutely beautiful in the winter. I really need to invest in a set of snow shoes.

Going to auctions is fun and exciting. Cheap entertainment, too ....... as long as you don't have a bidding paddle! ;)

I took a different car home every night......just to make sure they were completely ready to show to a customer, you understand. ;)
Looking back, that was a job where I used to say to myself "I can't believe they pay me to do this!" ;D
So why did I give it up? Well, its a little like having a girlfriend who has the tightest pussy you ever found but is, uhhh, high maintenance, shall we say? Maybe the 80 - 100 hours a week that went along with the position had something to do with it. But just like that certain woman, I still look back on it with great fondness and forget about what drove me crazy about it.

My dad had a '55 Stude truck, with a 352 Packard V8 and a glasspack muffler. It was hot! My sister fell out of it into the snow when the passenger side doorlatch broke as he rounded a very slow corner.

Thought one of the most hilarious events of the evening was the undersale of Von Dutch's studio/home/bus. All the while it was languishing, Craig Jackson kept barking over his mike that it was easily worth a couple hundred thousand..............
-
Mr. Jackson was incorrect, eh? :liar:
-
Also watched, just prior to yesterday's broadcast (whilst waiting for the furnace repairman to show), the "Life on the Block" episode wherein Mr. Jackson pissed off a relatively well-to do bidder (Ralph Whitworth) re- suspicions that Mr. Whitworth was welching on a bid. Interesting that said bidder didn' tknow at first who Jackson was and when Jackson introduced himself, said bidder noted that "you're the guy who wouldn't meet me this morning!" FYI, this particular bidder had already purchased several million dollars worth of cars at the auction and was immediately the object of scorn by Jackson when Jackson's staff screwed up the sale of the Futureliner.

Au contraire, I believe you are a businessman. :nod:

Oh, I quite agree, rich. Better to wait until a significant portion of that wealth has been irrevocably transferred to your possession and control before insulting the customer! :yeah:

Also watched, just prior to yesterday's broadcast (whilst waiting for the furnace repairman to show), the "Life on the Block" episode wherein Mr. Jackson pissed off a relatively well-to do bidder (Ralph Whitworth) re- suspicions that Mr. Whitworth was welching on a bid. Interesting that said bidder didn' tknow at first who Jackson was and when Jackson introduced himself, said bidder noted that "you're the guy who wouldn't meet me this morning!" FYI, this particular bidder had already purchased several million dollars worth of cars at the auction and was immediately the object of scorn by Jackson when Jackson's staff screwed up the sale of the Futureliner. I'm not a businessman, but I don't think it good practice to infer that a million-dollar customer is a crook.
Not only that, but they lost track of one of their high-profile guests...I wish I'd been able to stay glued to the action enough to play the fantasy bid game, because all I would have had to do would have been to enter about 85K and leave it there...I was right on for several cars. That DeSoto kinda surprised me, and so did the Stude truck, but I was right -on for the 32 Deuce and a couple of other cars.
I think Hemis will always be sought after, because of the mystique, and also because the unibodies wouldn't hold up to the torque...there just aren't that many left that aren't twisted, especially the convertibles.
And, maybe one of the reasons that the musclecars aren't bringing so much anymore is because a lot of the Boomers are getting close to retirement age. I'm 52, and just barely got my feet wet into the era, learning to drive in 1970. There were Superbirds to lust after, but they were few and far between...the guys who could afford them then, if they could find one, were about 10-15 years older than me. Do the math, and it's time for condos in Malibu...
I think that cars like the DeSoto are finally being appreciated as works of art...the '57 Chevy was the first to be recognized as such; but there were others just as tasteful, and the rarity of surviving Mopars will only fuel their prices. Fins are in!
I wonder just what the GenX car guys will collect, because there isn't a whole lot from the '70's through the mid-80's to stir anyone's blood. Chevette diesels, maybe?

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it
he said I'd be better dead
Than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along
That he was wrong
And I knew that he though
I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no...
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment
But I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type
That was most inclined
When out of his sight
To be out of my mind
And he said I was nuts
No more ifs or ands or buts
They say as a child
I appeared was a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happening
I knew I was a genius
What's so strange when you know
That you're a wizard at three?
I knew that this was meant to be
Now I heard little children
Were supposed to sleep tight
That's why I got into
The vodka one night
My parents got frantic
Didn't know what to do
But I saw some crazy scenes
Before I came to
No do you think I was crazy?
I may have been only three
But I was swingin'
They all laugh at angry young men
They laughed at Edison
And even at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry
If they just couldn't understand
The idiomatic logic
That went on in my head?
I had a brain
It was insane
Oh they used to laugh at me
When I refused to ride
On all those double-decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
But I said dear Doctor
I think that it's you instead
Because I have got a thing
That's unique and new
To prove it I'll have
The last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head...
I got two
And you know two heads are better than one.........

There are a few neat cars like Cosworth Vegas, screaming chicken Trans Ams, etc. After that I'll bet its Japanese cars in demand - MR2s, CRXs, and Corolla GTSs.

I was wondering how many of the current crop are just going to start being shuffled back and forth, from auction to auction. Given the law of averages, if you live long enough, you'll probably own one of these cars simply by chance. I went to nine years of college to think like that.

And that was just at the undergraduate level! :o :lmao:

Well, I drove up to Kalispell yesterday afternoon and saw friends. Didn't go up into the park today because it looked to be snowing pretty hard. The last thing I want to do right now is get snowed in and miss the first few days of class.

Ultra, myself, and one of my riding buds are looking to come north through Glacier and maybe onto BC (Banff?) if we can coordinate the whole deal (and the fix on Ultra's bike isn't too spendy!). Probably late May, early June-ish.....

That is the plan.

The answer is....... 42
But what's the question?
As for Glacier in late May/early June. There will be much less traffic on the roads then, but it *is* the rainy season. If riding in the wet doesn't bother you, it's probably not a bad time to come on up.
-
Also, don't expect to ride Going to the Sun Road that time of year. It usually opens in late June, although even that may not happen this year. It sustained major flooding damage last fall and large sections of the road washed out.

This weekend, I decided to drive up to Kalispell on MT-83, which goes right along the shore of Swan Lake for several miles. It was quite snowy, and I almost took out a herd of deer, but the scenery was worth it. Beautiful area.

We're getting a genuine heat wave this week. It's supposed to be 40* tomorrow... time to wash the 1/8" coating of mag chloride off the car.

I have a fantastic, Pre FM broadcast of his 1989 Houston show right now in the car CD player. The sound is superb. The band very tight in their very accurate to the studiio renditions of all of the songs we mentioned and quite a few other good ones "Dirty Laundry, Life in the Fast Lane, Desperado, and all of his other solo hits. Great stuff.

The Eagles are one of the most entertaining bands I've even seen in concert... actually twice. There isn't a weak spot in the band, although my personal favorite is Joe Walsh -- it might just be my Ohio bias (he's from Cleveland), but I think he's right up there with Clapton and Page although he's often overlooked. In a live show, stage presence counts for as much as musical prowess, and Joe has both in spades.

ordered my Seven tires today - man tirerack is so cheap compared to what we pay in Canada. Shame UPS is going to rape me with trumped up fees when they deliver.

BTW, I've only had one negative experience w/ the TireRack and, ultimately, it really wasn't even their fault (warranty issue).

If there is anything you want to know about this neck of the woods let me know. There is a the Calgary Stampede (http://calgarystampede.com/) on early July which attracts a lot of folks. You may want to avoid/plan for that time depending on if it appeals or not. The Reynolds Car museum is excellent but quite a bit farther north.
Amazingly I could not find any performance 13" tires in Canada - period. All winters or all seasons. Probably should have gone with at least 14" rims. Oh well. I've heard good things about Tirerack its UPS which I don't like. They will only ship via UPS and will not ship to a US warehouse with a Canadian credit card. :'(
I got Sumitomo HTR 200 in 185/60HR13 - hopefully they work well. Good reviews.

Frankly, I'm most excited to see a Seven up close....never have.

See it? Heck that is easy. Assuming its finished I'm let you take a little spin in it!
-

That's all part of the persona he's developed over the years. If you ever watched the Drew Carey Show back in the 1990s, there's a good chance you might have seen Joe on there. He had a semi-regular part for a few seasons.

Hmmmm....he's a pretty good actor then....

Well, I'm sure he's burnt out a few of his brain cells after 35+ years in rock and roll, but he exaggerates the part for interviews... sort of a caricature.
Nobody that plays guitar as well as he does can be completely braindead.
-
Dunno...ever since I learned that Clapton used to play w/ enough heroin in him to knock out Cleveland I've wondered where the combination of talent and practice takes over at a spinal level....

DAH DAH, DAH DAH....
Another great example of my point?

Joey can play guitar, intoxication level be damned.
-
FWIW, I could never play very well when alcohol was the drug of choice; herbal enhancements, on the other hand, always made me feel like I was playing better. When all was said and done, for me, it seemed like I was best when stone-cold sober and in what I can only describe as "the zone," where I'd get off stage and be complimented by someone on what I'd just played and not be able to remember what the hell it was.... :-\
-
I don't think excessive quantities of booze does anyone's ability that much good. Herbal remedies, OTOH... I know some people who can be so stoned they can barely function, yet something just "clicks". Good luck asking them to repeat what they just played, though.

Which is your prediction of the best/most competitive series this year?

My guess is that for the first time in a LONG time, Formula One will give the fans plenty of close racing.
NASCAR will continue to feature 3500 lbs cars running nose to tail for 500 laps.... :snooze:
Indy will mimic NASCAR but without fenders.... :snooze: :snooze:
For my money, the best flat out, no holds barred racing on TV is the British Touring Car Championship. That and SuperBike racing are about as good as it gets if you enjoy races that feature furious action and multiple lead changes on road courses. :thumbsup:

Yeah, this could be one heckuva season for all the big league series...lotsa variables; like in F1, everybody is shuffling teams, and Ferrari is restructuring...NASCAR will have Juan Montoya and
see the debut of the Car Of Tomorrow, which will give a lot of teams fits...and Danica Patrick will finally be part of one of the top teams in the IRL.
Should make for some serious action!

Saw an interesting article in the March Hot Rod...some guy took a Citroen, an ID 19 from 1966, and stuck a Chevy small block into it. He had to build a roll cage, because the body was kinda flimsy; and had to build a frame underneath, because he was putting over 400 hp into a chassis that originally had maybe 65 or so...but it made for a rather nice looking ride. And, it seemed to work pretty well. The hardest part was mating the one -spoke steering wheel to a modern column.
it's probably the strangest streetrod I've ever seen, but it works!

Here's to the peace movement
Amen, brother. I can NOT put into words how much this feels like Veet Naaaam all over again. The arrogant leaders leading us straight over a cliff. The utter lack of practical planning. The absence of proper training and equipment for a war we are not equipped to fight. The derision at the early objectors. The late to the party celebs telling us how they were really AGAINST the enterprise when they supported it earlier. The slowly, slowly growing groundswell of public diapproval. The ongoing carnage of loyal and brave young Americans caught in a foreign land where they don't understand the culture or the language or the reason they are seeing their bretheren dismembered, disemboweled, shreiking in unendurable pain as their too too fragile bodies are ripped assunder, the commitment to send more and more troops, the looking at neighboring countries as possible attack targets by those same leaders who got us into this shit in the first place, or their successors, the weeping and wailing about what a disaster will befall the poor country if we withdraw, the handwringing over local politicians who refuse to genuflect to the Great White Father who installed them in power and insist on doing things their own way, the internal fractionalization over religion (today is sunnis vs shiites, but before it was buddhists vs catholics), a US Embassy surrounded by battlements and guards and looking about as out of place as a pyramid in Times Square.
I tell ya, lads. To my aged eyes, its the same script updated. But we're not gonna like the ending any more than we did the first time around. :(

Yeah, I would have to specialize in greeting cards targeted to such areas as "So Sorry To Hear About Your Impending Suicide" and "Congratulations On Your Bitter Divorce". Other possibilites include "Here's Hoping Your Detox Goes Well" and "Ten Ways To Deal With A Crack Addicted Child." I suppose some appropriate thoughts for the neighbor who has been "downsized" and is facing foreclosure would be nice. That's an expanding market, thanks to our national economic policies. :(
A friend of mine once opened an "adult" gift card store - which soon failed. One of my favorite cards was a picture of a tormented woman saying "Last night you wanted to make love to me in the worst way...." On the inside, it said:
"And you did."
:o
-
I could see the f-off and die card being a big seller ...

Perhaps I should copyright that one, huh? :lmao: ;D :yeah:

Go for it.

Man, I can just think of all those times that I've wanted to tell someone to fuck off and die, but Hallmark just didn't have the right greeting card.

Thirty Thousand Pounds of Bananas was a Harry Chapin song, about an actual event on a New York Interstate. A semi carrying, you guessed it, 15 tons of bananas was involved in a traffic accident. The crash wasn't so bad at first, but the mashed monkey fruit made for a slippery mess that caused a chain reaction that closed the road for several hours.
You remember Harry Chapin, don't you? Taxi? I always thought Randy Newman was inspired by him, at least a little. Chapin died of a heart attack in a traffic accident...his VW was hit by a semi, and it was never determined if he had the attack first, or if he saw the semi bearing down on him and that was the cause.
This song was one of my favorites of his.

Nice. I think I really want a cruiser, but in talking to experienced riders it looks like a better option for beginning is to go with a multi-sport for a few months then get what I want...That way I won't mind the scratches that come with learning...

I have never ridden and they were suggesting the MS is the most forgiving. Then once I am comfortable riding, get what I want.
With resale value being pretty flat on a used bike, it isn't really a bad idea, but I still think I would want to just start out on a cruiser...My biggest deal is finding a bike big enough so I don't look like a circus bear on a mini bike.

Old bikes don't scare me like old cars do. There's simply much less to go wrong, and it's all there in plain sight. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a 25 year-old Honda if it were in halfway decent shape. Also, bikes tend to depreciate like stones. IMO, early '80s muscle bikes (CB750 et al.) are among the best performance bargains in the motorized universe.

"bikes tend to depreciate like stones."
The prices I have been seeing, 5 yo bikes are priced right up there with 2yo bikes in similar condition.
I used to think I wanted a Hurricane 1000 (back in the day) or V-Max. I gave up on the V-Max when I read articles about ti being one of the most difficult handling bikes. Now I am not looking for something to go fast on, just want to go in comfort.

"You are, in my estimation, head and shoulders above the average joe."
I have a tendency to look down on people!
"bikes tend to depreciate like stones."
The prices I have been seeing, 5 yo bikes are priced right up there with 2yo bikes in similar condition.
I used to think I wanted a Hurricane 1000 (back in the day) or V-Max. I gave up on the V-Max when I read articles about ti being one of the most difficult handling bikes. Now I am not looking for something to go fast on, just want to go in comfort.
A friend of mine had a CBR1000 Hurricane for a while. It was in ratty cosmetic condition -- faring held on with zip ties -- and I think he paid $1200 for it. He eventually sold it because it scared the living shit out of him.

Oh...OK. I thought he was talking about what he would recommend for me (in general)!
HD is my first choice, but they are out of my price range (even used).
I am looking at a Yamaha Star or other similar rice burner...

When I got married, my bride to be gave me one stipulation: no motorcycles. I reluctantly agreed with the worst moping hangdog footdragging resignation that I could muster.
Now, some of you may groan and I can understand that. But there are a couple things that you should be aware of: cars were a given. Track car? Sure. Lotus 7 replica: yuppers. Porsche: if the money is there, naturally. Of course, I haven't availed myself of all of the options yet, but I do have a nice track rat E30 M3 in the garage, just waiting for fairer weather.
The other part of this concession: I've never own a bike. I realized early on that it was not good for my health. I live in a seaside town of 25,000 people packed into 4 square miles on the north shore of Boston. All around this town the population and car density is equally abyssmal. Worse, it's filled with Masshole drivers. Add to this my penchant for spirted driving and all I could see in a future with a bike was organ donations.
So I gave up nothing.
At least that's how I rationalize it.

A pirate had a parrot that wouldn't stop swearing. He tried everything. Finally one day, when the parrot started swearing, he threw it into the freezer and left it there for over an hour.
Finally, the pirate retrieved his parrot from the freezer. The parrot came out, shaken, and said "I promise, I'll be good from now on. But, I have just one question... What did the turkey do?????"

Okay, I've got one..
A group of 5 businessmen were crossing the border into France on the Autoroute when a customs official stopped them. They were not allowed to proceed, because, as the official said, "You are driving an Audi Quattro, and there are 5 of you. One of you will have to get out of the car. I'm sorry."
No matter how hard the 5 men argued, the gendarme would not budge. He remained insistent that only 4 men would be allowed to proceed in the Quattro. Finally, exasperated, the driver demanded to see his supervisor.
"Well, okay," the official replied: "As soon as he's through talking to those newlyweds in that Fiat Uno."

I like the jokes and don't necessarily want to take us back to the bike discussion, but you can find lighly used Dynas for what you might pay for a used metric cruiser; plus, too, and also, the Sportster line of bikes is very competitively priced and they've a new version, the 1200N that is pretty badass looking.
In all fairness, I bought a Harley for a couple of reasons: the desire to have a Harley (as irrational I suppose as the desire to have any type of premium vehicle that suffers from niggling "issues" - ever seen how well premium cars, even Porsches, do w/ said "issues"?); their motors have always impressed me aesthetically (torque and sound); their look is unmistakeably appealing (at least to my eye), and their depreciation tends to be only marginal.
To that end, I will be the first to admit that metric bikes are quieter, more reliable, less expensive to purchase and maintain, and in most cases faster than my DeLuxe. Still, wouldn't trade it for anything right now.
The other piece is that I've come to understand the need for different bikes for different reasons. Others on here will recall I'm lusting after a sport bike, the best of which remain from the land of the rising sun......

I'd like a bike one day but I suppose its a tad inpractical to own a Lotus 7 clone + a bike in a place so far north ... plus I always end up buying a cheap, old car instead.

Once you go bike, you never go back.
-
I'd say that a 7 clone is impractical no matter where you are on earth, it's just more uncomfortable in some areas. That said, it's also about as close to a bike as you can get and still have four wheels. An Ariel Atom might be a little closer, but at that point, you're just picking nits out of your teeth.
-
When I got my bike last year, I drove the Audi exactly three times in the subsequent two and a half months, and that was when I needed groceries. My formerly "fast" Audi felt like a slug compared to my bike, which isn't even considered all that quick. Once I get my CBR 1000, I expect that my lust for things Porsche will dim markedly....until the first rainy/snowy day, of course.... ;)

Don't let a short "riding season" put you off, Dent. That just means you have to invest in heavier jackets... down here in Missoula, there's an especially dedicated breed of riders, who can be seen on the roads in anything less than a full-scale blizzard.

I rode in one day last December where the air temp was listed at 18 degrees; w/ the windchill of me riding at approx 50mph, that was probably pretty cold but like boxer said, I just dressed appropo and was fine. When I left at the end of the day, it was snowing lightly but it was warm enough where it was melting right away. The wet roads were pretty similar to that following a fresh rain and were no big deal.
There are guys who ride year-round here too; maybe they're single or don't have children or anyone else who's depending on them....I don't have that luxury and riding is dangerous enough in good weather that I don't want to tempt fate more than I am....

No, it's a '96 Chevy Corsica...don't laugh, it's paid for. The ABS is mechanical, not entirely computerized, and it grabs like crazy the first couple of times I have to stop in cold weather, usually below about 20F or so. My '99 Dodge Grand Caravan ES also has ABS and traction control. I can turn off the traction control, but not the ABS. Didn't know any car would let you do that.
I like GTOs...never driven one, but have been in a couple. Everybody says they look like big Cavaliers, but I see a hint of BMW here and there in the lines.

My Audi lets me turn off the traction control/stability brain; not the ABS though....

That they did. I'm sure product liability prevents them from offering that feature today. Although you can still pull the ABS fuse, assuming there's nothing else that shares a circuit.

The ABS was always a little screwy on my SHO. It would either cut in way too soon on rainy roads, making it difficult to stop, or it wouldn't work at all. Also, that car went through rear brakes like nothing I've ever seen. The stealership said they're all that way.
-
Rear brakes? Bizzare - they hardly do anything. My wife's old Dodge Shadow had rear brakes that were missing all the springs and such from the factory - took ten years to catch :lmao:

Never been to NoDak, but SoDak was interesting...so was Montana and Nevada...I was 16, and it was 1970. Family went to San Francisco in August. Only a nightime speed limit in Montana[55? Whazzup with that?], and none at all in Nevada...everybody was flying by at about 90 or so...I don't think we met another car in Wyoming...

It's a very under-rated place, IMO. The western half of the state is chock full of great scenery -- Badlands N.P. is a must-see, and there are some phenomenal driving roads in the Black Hills. I've been to Mt. Rushmore, and was left wondering why they decided to hack up a perfectly good mountain. I passed through the state while Sturgis was going on, and the roads are simply choked -- don't plan on doing too much fast riding.

I was always impressed with the quality of roads in SoDak and the scenery. And the prairie dogs were cute, too...

Prairie dogs are a pain in arse. My wife used run them over in the Mustang for sport when we lived in Lethbridge.

This is my 500th post. I was thinking, a milestone such as this deserves a great deal of careful thought and insight...the text of the message should be rather pithy, not embued with a plethora of pointless eruditic platitudes. In substance, it should serve to enunciate a certain sense of accomplishment on the part of the author, and should reflect his cognitive acumen and command of the English language.
It should also serve to illustrate to the reader a certain sense of satisfaction at achieving such a lofty and noble goal. After all, this is a rare occurrence; in fact, it will only happen this one time. Therefore, it should be marked as an icon on the cosmic calendar...a red letter day, if ever there was one...

We're supposed to get about 15 inches of snow today...30-40 mph winds...schools are already closed...I've got a bunch of Beenie Weenies and Vienna sausages in case the power goes out.
Dan
we had about that yesterday. Nothing closed though. I tired of shovelling snow though.
Got about 14 inches...I have a white car, and now I can't find it...
Dan
With evcerything closed around here again today, I'll be able to spend all day looking for it.

It's astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I remember doing the TIme Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let's do the time warp again...
Let's do the time warp again!
I love that movie. Never gotten a chance to see it on stage, although I'd like to.
-
The best movie I ever saw? Gee, that is a tough one.
Best I can do is narrow it down to two:
A.) Day Of The Jackal: historical fiction about an assassination attempt on Charles DeGaulle. Based on a novel by Frederick Forsythe. Brilliantly acted and historically faithful. A great story, superbly told.
B.) Breaker Morant. Another example of historical fiction that tells more about the hypocrisy of our leaders in a wartime environment than any other movie I have ever seen. Again, superbly acted. It is based on the Boer War in South Africa but its message transcends all time and cultures. Its a "must see", imho.
Honorable Mention goes to "Das Boot" and The Full Monty.
Oh. Apollo Thirteen. Fabulous flic. And The African Queen. Better than Casablanca, and that's saying something.
Best flic ever? Ain't no such thing! ;D

I saw the original Halloweed...uhh HalloweeN....ohhh...nevermind.

The best movie I ever saw.........

Under fairly recent movies that are good VUI, I'd recommend Kung Fu Hustle. Pure fluff, funny as hell, great action. If it made you a sandwich, it would be one of the top VUI movies.

Hollywood Knights? As in Tony Danza/Fran Drescher?

Honestly?
It just sounds unredeemingly horribly brainsuckingliny insipid.
Really?

Didn't believe the Floyd/Oz thing until I tried it one night....IMO, can NOT be coincidental, but you never know....
Saw a portion of the "Hollywood Knights" on Lost Drive-In one night on Speed. Pee. You.

I have an interesting dilemma...my son was driving my 99 Dodge Grand Caravan ES to work just after the recent blizzard, and hit a pile of snow in the middle of the road from somebody's freshly plowed driveway. It damaged the front valance to the point where it will have to be replaced. My question is, who's at fault? My son, who couldn't avoid the snowpile, or the idiot that put it there in the first place? The valance is cracked on the drivers' side...which tells me that the snow was very carelessly piled across a lane of traffic. The highway is a heavily travelled state road, and 2 semis were ahead of my son, and both of them hit the snowpile, too.
I realize that snow drifts, but across a whole lane of a busy highway? The homeowner hasn't been very easy to deal with. I think he created the hazard, or whoever plowed out his driveway[as it turns out, a friend of his, a cop...].

I got back last night from a great long weekend. Drove down to Big Sky to see some friends who work down there. Given that it was the biggest ski weekend of the year, the runs were kind of packed, and it's been a pretty weak winter out west this year. Still, good times, good friends, and it worked to distract me from the three exams looming this week.

Sounds like fun.

Most definitely, although the deferred studying I'm facing now is not-so-fun.

Just recovering from a hellacious week. Skiied and partied all last weekend, then three consecutive exams this week. By the last one, I was getting my botany and ecology all intertwined. We'll see how this goes.
Also, the roomies picked up a cat from the animal shelter yesterday. Kind of nice to have some animals around the house... just nobody tell the landlord.

I got my bike out last weekend and cleaned it up getting ready to ride (and face $3/gal gas prices again this summer). The temp last weekend here was mid-forties and sunny and the long-term forecast (via the Weather Channel) showed warming trends and sunny days. By Wednesday, we had freezing rain and it was nearly a white-out condition last night.
grrrrrrrrrrr
-

In my experience, the Weather Channel doesn't have a clue when it comes to this part of the country. It's really quite arrogant to think we can predict weather in the mountains. At Glacier, when I would dispense hiker/tourist info, I'd simply tell them to look at the weather printout and plan for the exact opposite.

When I was young, whenever anyone would try to predict what the upcoming winter would be like, my grandfather would say,"...Long about April, we'll know."
He was usually right.

If we are planning an outdoor activity, I am comforted when the forecast 4-5 beforehand predicts tornados, gale force winds and heavy rain. Then I KNOW its going to be a great day. Its only when they promise sunshine that I get nervous.... :-\

Bah...that's where I learned all about skid control and countersteering, or just spinning hundreds of cookies in the supermarket parking lot at 3 a.m. while you were really looped and laughing so hard that your sides hurt the next morning....you know, important driving stuff....

Well, yeah. There's that. Having matriculated at an elite eastern liberal college located in the wilds of New Hampshire, one simply learned the necessary techiniques or one never got to the OTHER elite eastern colleges where they kept the girls locked up. As I reacall, I never missed a date because of inclement weather! :drive:

I've always hated English because it's been basically the same thing every freaking year since 7th grade. It gets a little old and boring after a while. I especially despise this assignment. We're writing a 10-12 page research paper, and the teacher wants us to have 100 note cards with notes on them from 10 sources. No. I don't do note cards. If I'm writing a paper, I want the book or whatever I'm getting the info from right in front of me. That way, I know exactly what the source said, so then I can figure out exactly what I want to say. I don't take notes on books.

Nevermind. I just realized you meant you've never driven through Nebraska or put a bullet through your head. Geez. That's how much I hate this assignment. I can't think straight because of it.

Driving across Kansas or Nebraska is best done at night. That way, you can simply invent your own scenery. I'm usually driving through the Swiss Alps when I'm in Kansas.
I'm also fairly certain that I've driven through large portions of the Great Plains whilst unconscious. Cruise control FTW!

I disagree. I find the best way to traverse EITHER is in a nice comfy jet aircraft! ;D

Hallucinogens are effective at helping with the transit. I wouldn't recommend anything that makes you vomit, and anything synthesised can be of suspect quality.
Not that I'm recommending driving under the influence (this here's BAT country!), nor partaking in anything illegal, I'm just saying it helps pass the time.
Or so I've heard.

I cut my driving eyeteeth driving across Kansas in a cabover truck camper at 16...it was 1970, and the only time I was ever satisfied to drive 55. Any faster than that, and the crate would fishtail like mad. The crosswind was blowing at about 35-40mph, and I swaer that '68 Dodge truck w/Griffin camper was 2 stories tall...

I drove west across Iowa on I-80 in the Vanagon with a 40 mph crosswind, and a good healthy headwind just for kicks. The wheel was cocked 20 degrees left just to maintain a straight line, and top speed was reduced to about 60. Fun times.

No, "driving excitement" was taking the aforementioned VW up to an indicated 90 mph on a long, straight, downhill road just east of the Rockies. The wind noise was deafening, the engine sounded like it was trying its best to extricate it from the car, and the steering feel had gone from its normal "scary" to "nonexistent".

The level road top speed on a water-cooled Vanagon is about 85. 90 is redline in 4th (top) gear.

Just wanted to let everyone in on my weekend....
Well this weekend started back around Valentines Day when I received a call from my Dad...(first off...let me say...When I saw who it was calling me at work on my cellphone, I knew the reason for the call. I think he can called me a total of about 3 times in the last 30 years)...telling me that my grandmother was unresponsive and "coded" at the nursing home and taken to the hospital (presumably to officially be "pronounced").
A couple of days later he called again to inform me of the arrangements for this past weekend (My oldest uncle lives in NZ).
My grandfather died in 1985 (remember that because it is pertinent later on).
On to the point of this story...
After the services we all went over to her house to "divvy out the contents". My aunt came walking out of the bedroom with a box of Sheik...(refer back to when my grandfather died)...that had to be over 22 years old!
Please for the sake of your children's and grandchildren's mental stability...clean out stuff that would create a nauseating visual!

About the most embarrassing thing I've got around the house is a picture of me in the '70's. :yuck:

There's a video circulating around of a VW bus with a 993 turbo drivetrain circling the 'Ring... I'm pretty sure that might vie for top honors.
There are also more than a few T3's with Chevy 350s lurking in the rear.

I read an article about that hypervan once. Iirc, it was created as a support vehicle for the Dakar rally. It was the only way that spares and cameras and people could be moved fast enough to keep up with the racers.. Bet you'd like a crack at THAT one for a coupla days, huh? ;D

I can top that story, though...I used to work at a mental health facility, and the patients weren't allowed to keep their medications in their rooms, of course. On my first day, a young lady asked me to retreive her asprin. I reached into her drawer in the nurses' station, and hunted through a rather large number of bottles. I picked up what I thought were asprin tablets, and brought them out to her. She looked rather surprised...I had mistakenly picked up her birth control pills. I was a lot more careful after that.

Gibson with F holes. Boxer would do well with that.

It was the Baldwin that had the F holes...a semi-accoustic electric 12 that was apparently built by the same company that made the pianos, although the guitar was made in Italy, ca. 1969. I have never seen another one.

I googled Baldwin 12 string electric and found a few pics...one was identical to mine, with the sunburst finish, but was an outdated eBay link. It was a very easy guitar to play, but the neck was a little wide, s it would have to be for 12 strings. I had flatwounds on it when I sold it, had to use two sets. Bought it used in 1970 for 250 bucks, it was a year old.
My uncle had an Ovation roundback 6 string that was very easy to play, too, a buddy of mine has a Takamine. I bought my son a Talman[Ibanez] for Christmas a couple of years ago. I have arthritis in my thumbs, so playing is rather painful for me now, so I just use my keyboards, when my thumbs don't bother me. I have a bunch of Fender and Gibson patches, and some latin guitar patches, as well...

I know some people like to take life easy,
That's not my style.
I'm not the type to let this life tease me,
I'm gonna make it wild.
I just wanna ride,
Get on my bike and ride.
Some people think you've got to like your life one way,
I disagree.
I'm not gonna pay attention to them anyway,
It's got nothing, nothing to do with me.
Life is so short, we've got
No time to waste at all.
I just wanna ride,
Get on my bike and ride.

I rode my bicycle past your window last night

It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm OK alone but you've got something I need, well
I've got a brand new pair of roller skates
You've got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and
Try them on to see
I been lookin' around awhile
You got something for me
Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive, I been all around the world
Some people say I done all right for a girl
I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes, but you weren't alone
Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm OK alone but you got something I need, well

Brian May handbuilt his guitar for that special sound.
The Red Special
May, with his father Harold's help, began work on Red Special in August of 1963. Most of the wood came from an old fireplace mantel that a friend of the family was about to throw away. The neck was hand-shaped until it reached the desired form, which was difficult due to the age and quality of the wood. Even today, according to May, there are two wormholes in the guitar[1].
The neck was finished with a 24 fret oak fingerboard. Each of the position inlays were hand shaped from mother-of-pearl buttons. May decided to position them in a personal way: two dots at 7th and 19th fret and three at 12th and 24th.
The body was made from oak, blockboard and Mahogany Veneer; the final result was a sort of Semi-acoustic guitar—the central block is glued to the sides and covered with two mahogany sheets to give it the appearance of a solid-body guitar. White shelf edging was then applied as binding. It was then completed with three pickups and a custom-made bridge. May purchased a set of Burns Tri-Sonic pickups but re-wound them with reverse wound/reverse polarity and "potted" the coils, to reduce microphonics with Araldite epoxy. He originally wound his own pickups, as he had for his first guitar, but he did not like the resulting sound using bending because of the polarity of these pickups: North-South-North-South-North-South instead of North-North-North-North-North-North).
The tremolo system is made from an old hardened-steel knife-edge shaped into a V and two motorbike valve springs to counter the string tension. The tension of the springs is adjustable by screwing the bolts, which run through the middle of the springs, in or out via 2 small access holes next to the rear strap button. To reduce friction, the bridge was completed with little rollers to allow the strings to return perfectly in tune after using the tremolo arm, (the arm itself was from a bicycle saddlebag holder with a plastic knitting needle tip). For the same reason, at the other end of the neck the strings pass over a zero fret and through a bakelite string guide.
Originally the guitar had a built in distortion circuit, adapted from a mid-1960s Vox distortion unit. The switch for this was in front of the phase switches. May soon discovered that he preferred the sound of a Vox AC30 distorting at full power, so the circuit was removed. The switch hole is now covered by a mother-of-pearl star inlay, but was originally covered by insulation tape.
The name Red Special came from the red/brown color of the guitar after it was stained and painted with numerous layers of Rustin's plastic coating.
The overall amount May spent on his guitar was £17.50.

Humans are so accustomed to the base-10 system that they really attach excessive significance to arbitrary numbers.

I prefer base 8, which is just like base 10, if you're missing two fingers.

Just a little heads up...Herb Alpert's got three albums available from iTunes...WARM, THE BRASS ARE COMIN' and VOLUME 2 are available...there are no CD releases of these, but you can download the entire albums or individual songs and burn your own. Each album has been remastered. WARM sounds especially nice; it was one of the best -produced Tijuana Brass albums originally, and the new digital format really allows the music to shine.
For me, the TJB makes excellent cruising music...I have a Herb Alpert disc in my car's CD player almost all the time...some of you guy who are of my generation[remember the '60's?] may feel the same...

I used to work in a potato chip factory, and it was a 12-hour shift...7AM -7PM...Indiana wasn't on DST then; and for the largest part of the year, it was dark when I started, and dark when I finished. That got old very quickly...
On the bright side, it'll be 75 degrees here today...but back into the 40's by the weekend.

could be worse - I've know guys working up in the artic - you only get an hour or two of daylight if that in the winter. Then daylight all the time in the summer - apparently some folks go a little nuts.

Speaking of Hawaii...what do you guys think of NASCAR's Car Of Tomorrow? My own personal feeling is that it's an absolutely hideous piece of junk that doesn't look like any production car on the market, has a front end that has a very disconcerting tendancy to cut down the rear tires of cars in front of it in tight traffic situations, is much more difficult to service on pit road, and has severe chassis dynamic and aerodynamic issues. Some of the bugs will be worked out eventually, but the idea of NASCAR making up it's own car is something I don't agree with. NASCAR is supposed to be about American sedans, not in-house designed spec racers...it might be a little safer in some situations, but it just isn't true to the basic premise of the sport.
I thought it was very odd that Dale Jarrett's trunk was sheared off in an accident at Bristol...it was tethered , so it didn't actually leave the car, but that was the only time I could read what was painted on the trunk...sponsors will be very upset about the loss of exposure because that @@##!* wing is in the way...
And, for some reason, a lot of the teams were using thinner exhaust tubing, and several drivers had carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms post-race...Brian Vickers burned his backside when his broke midrace.
I don't mind Toyota coming into NASCAR, but I do have a problem with so many teams desperately trying to find a spot in an already crowded field...and adding starting positions, which I seriously doubt NASCAR will do, isn't feasible. And the Chase For The Cup should have been 12 drivers all along...
I think NASCAR is a little too big for it's own good...there's some overkill in there somewhere. TV ratings are down, and not all tracks are selling out any more...the season is too long, and so are some of the races...the COT sucks...other than that, it isn't too bad.

They have been doing that for quite some time now...I think they started that when the Tbird left the track.

Well, the Camry is the only car in the series built in the 'States...and it's true that NASCAR started monkeying around with car design when they allowed the Taurus to compete, but that was out of necessity...the B pillar had to be moved back from its' original position to allow the driver to get into the car. Then the Intrepid followed...and all three cars ended up with the same roofline...but now; well, maybe it's a logical progression...but it seems contrary to the basic premise of the sport. The Car Of Tomorrow just ain't a REAL CAR...it doesn't even have any real ties to one...

I just want the weather to change out here for the good for good....I've had my bike out enough just to get hungry for lots more....
BTW, guys, am working on details of the route; rule of thumb at this point from much more experienced bikers than I is that 250 miles/day is about the max when sightseeing...also that superslabbing it is the least desirable way to go (knew that before I started asking)....
Everyone got their endorsements? H-D rental here won't let you ride w/o it. Have four bikes reserved: two Ultra Classics and two Softail DeLuxes....getting the dealer rate for them too, btw, given that I've spent zillion$ at my local dealer and know the owner....
June 28th is coming...........

The Honda will have 14,000 to 15,000 miles on it when I get out west.

There's been a little paperwork SNAFU (probably my fault) and I won't be working at Many Glacier this summer unless someone else quits. At this point I'll either be in Missoula for summer quarter or at Lake McDonald on the west side of the park. Either way I'll do everything in my power to make sure I can meet up with y'all. Let me know what your dates are for the Montucky portion of the ride. Charlie knows my phone #.
I just got back last night from a spring break trip to Steamboat Springs. Seems I left that town with a lot fewer brain cells than I arrived with, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world. Aside from being one of America's greatest ski towns it's also one of the hardest partying places this side of Cancun. Ski Time Square is a strip of bars that could put a Big Ten college town to shame, and they're not your typical yuppie ski town bars. Lupo's is where the locals hang out -- it's on the second floor of a nondescript building and there's no conspicuous sign, so naturally it's the coolest bar in town. Cold beer, plenty of pool tables, and good tunes in the jukebox. So of course it goes without saying that a developer has purchased the entire strip and plans to bulldoze it to make way for more luxury condos, turning Steamboat into yet another carbon copy of Vail. Not that I'm bitter or anything.
On top of all that, I got to see my beloved Buckeyes advance to the finals for the first time since 1962, only to barely lose to Florida. I honestly expected to see them get blown out, but watching them hang in there until the final five minutes really toyed with my emotions. My hatred of the SEC, and the Gators in particular, is growing by the day.

As I said in my post above, "I'll do everything in my power to make sure I can meet up with y'all." Glacier is a day trip from Missoula. Plus, if you're coming up to the park from the south, I'm on the way.
-
According to sources close to the DBMC road captain, entering the park from the south is the only way to fly....
-
DBMC?
Who elected this fellow "Road Captain?"
;)
-
The west entrance serves as the park's main gateway. You'll probably enjoy coming up highway 93 from Missoula, stopping at Flathead Lake -- the largest naturally occurring freshwater lake west of the Mississippi -- maybe making a stop in Whitefish as well. From there, take highway 2 to West Glacier and head on it. I'd ordinarily recommend a side trip to the isolated town of Polebridge, but it involves driving 20 miles on dirt roads. I've heard it from a good source that, despite the flood damage, the Sun Road will be open no later than July 1st. If it isn't open, the drive around the southern end of the park on US 2 is quite enjoyable, and the drive time is similar to cutting through the park. The drive from East Glacier to St. Mary is also a must-see, with a stop in the Two Medicine valley.
Bring a big memory card for your camera.

$100 bux a day? What if I rent a Honda 350 or such like? ???
-
Dunno....couldn't find another dealer who was willing/able to rent...the Honda would be fine w/ me....
The other thing that's a possibility: My father-in-law has decided to be safe (he recently fell at work and he, like many of us, isn't as resilient as he used to be) and run behind us in a chase vehicle (i.e., my wife's Titan). Mike loves this kind of traveling and probably was hoping for same all along (Freud always said there are no accidents). Not sure how a hippie cheese-eating librul and a dyed in the wool two tour Vietnam vet who luvs his red state and all it stands for might do for three/four days in the cab of the Titan, but if worse came to worst, you could always ride in the back seat w/ the headphones and watch a DVD or six.... :-\

Cagers?!?!?!?! :o
:sigh:

Ahhhh.....I ain't skeered. Something will work out. What I really WOULD like to happen is for you to latch on to a Miata for sale in the O Boy Sea area with a hardtop that I could drive for the trip and then drive home, keep the top and sell the car. But that propably is a BIT too optimistic, I suppose. Anyway, this sounds like a once in a lifetime trip. I'll be there, God willing and the creek don't rise. Also, if TR4 LETS me go....... ::)
-
D'ya want me to look? More than happy to....and there's likely a number of Mormiatas out here that have been lovingly guided under the hand of Heavenly Father, donchyaknow....
Frankly, I don't care what anyone's riding/driving/rowing...I'm just looking forward to the trip w/ y'all and finally getting to shake a couple/few hands I've wanted to since CC1....my biggest disappointment is the likelihood I won't hit Canuckia and meet the Mysterious Mr. Dent.

Shame you won't make it here but sounds like great fun. I'm planning a road trip next year when (if ??? ) I can finish my Seven this year. I'm hoping to get one of those small aero bike trailers to pull behind.
Might end up driving to Texas this year in the minivan with three kids. We were going to fly but all the issues involved with getting a newborn a passport (especially the offical photo - need to have their eyes open, not crying, etc and by the time you get the passport back the photo has expired - arg). He was just born last week.

What part of TX you going through/to?

Some little place near (ish) to Dallas - the name escapes me at the moment but basically we are going visit some of the wife's relatives - first in California (take kids to Disney Land) and then to her Granparents farm in Texas.

If you get some free time and want to meet up with one of the goofier members of autopuzzles.com, let me know.

Dent, are you still planning on coming south of the border this month? I'd love to get the chance to meet up and shoot the breeze.

Hopefully on Friday. I think I might just duck into the border and head back. Lots of work, new baby, etc. I'll make up my mine one way or another tommorow - still need to make sure the warehouse is open being a long weekend and all for some.
GRAYWOLF - I'll let you know closer to the time.
-
I think I'm going to just head to the warehouse in Sweetgrass and come back. He's only open for all of two hours tommorw which makes any other plans hard.

Now, I went out last Sunday with my little Mary-Ann
She said please stay still Monday, and grabbed me by my can
She laid a big one on me, suprised me with her tongue,
But her surprise was waitin' there, between my cheek and gum.
Chorus:
Copenhagen, what a wad of flavor.
Copenhagen, you can see it in my smile.
Copenhagen, do yourself a favor.
Chew Copenhagen, drive them pretty girls wild.
So I went to the movies with my little Peggy-Sue,
I had my dip there in my lip just like I always do.
She didn't know that I was spittin' in my Coca-Cola cup,
She took a great big swoller' and threw her popcorn up! Oh!
Chorus:
The moral of this story is so very sad but true.
If you stay 'till breakfast friend, they'll want to marry you.
So try my little method and I promise you no doubt
Dip some Copenhagen if you want to snuff 'em out.

When I was down in Colorado, I stayed with three people who dipped. Nothing like sitting around watching the game while everybody had a spit cup in front of them.
Is it too much to ask that folks don't spit in empty beer bottles and leave them on the coffee table?

My best friend from HS dipped...I never did understand it.

I, never.

That one ain't from firsthand experience, I'll tell ya. Hydrofluoric is as nasty and brutal as it can possibly get. Meth is much the same, it just takes a whole lot longer. Plus, it's voluntary.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, opts for hydrofluoric.

Four day...I can't afford much more time off than that either.... :-\

I don't know if I can afford 10 days off. It will take me 10 days to do that trip, at least.
Are you SURE the Black Hills can't be some sort of compromise?

Yup...sorry...but, not the end of the world, guys....I may be coming home next summer for the "Devils Run," a rally in my hometown in NoDak that's getting to be larger and larger and is around Memorial Day....

I haven't said no, yet. I am just trying to envision it alone, there and back, and away from my dog and restaurant for that long with no one to take care of either one.
I am probably not going to make it unless something changes on this end.

No worries, C....I was concerned this might be the case in the beginning and wholly appreciated your willingness to make the effort. :) I would predict our friendship will last through this year (of transition and time-limits for me as well) and there will be more highways to travel in the near future...I'm truly thinking of taking the Sturgis plunge this next year as well....

If I take a ride to Deadwood this August on a weekend, and I might if I can get the seat comfortable enough to do 800 miles a day, I will pressurize you with great fervor to take a long ride and meet up with me for an overnighter.

IMO, you'd be a fool to ride all the way out to the Black Hills and stop there when the Rockies are only another day's ride away.

IMO, you'd be a fool to ride all the way out to the Black Hills and stop there when the Rockies are only another day's ride away.
Which is two days, minimum, if you consider the return trip. Any negative weather could easily extend that even further. How many miles have you put in on a motorcycle seat in a day?
I have seen the Rockies. Torturing myself, my business, and my dog is a steep price to see them again.
-
Wow, this whole thing really fell apart in a hurry.

Nope. I want to see Montana. And I want to spend some time getting acquainted with Rich. I think there is some middle ground here. Let's think positive. ;D

Still want to see the Black Hills, I do. Now, I have a comfortable bike to get me there.

Anyway - Ultra: What kind of a restaurant? I'm a food fan :)
I own a pizzeria in Hillman Michigan. My mother owned a restaurant and pizzeria when I was a young fella. I have owned 3 pizzerias at one time and did wholesale sandwich distribution to over 70 gas stations throughout Northern Michigan. I found it to be too much work for too little reward so I downsized back to my original restaurant. I also have worked at Sysco Food Services and Gordon Food Service - wholesale food distributors - for a total of eight years.
I am a foodie. ;D

Yum yum, pizza. Lovely!

I'm going to have to head up to Ultra's place one of these old days. My camping trip this weekend is taking me in the other direction, unfortunately. :(

My current home town is unfortunately a wee bit further in the other direction, or else I might have popped by for lunch one day... :)

At least I'm camping in an area with wireless service.

This thread was started long ago in hopes of spurring conversation outside of the puzzles. It has had some positive effect on that front.
Please you guys, continue to start threads and discussions outside of the puzzles. It is the next step in the growth of this site and there are enough regulars here to build upon now.
I can't tell you guys how proud I am that this site has grown into the entity that it is today. I look forward to all of your contributions and the continued growth of this site.

I was in New York in April last year, and as I said we eventually ended up going to a Billy Joel concert in Albany, but we seriously considered catching a flight to Chicago and driving up to Harris, Michigan for a concert with the original Blues Brothers Band, complete with Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi. But we eventually dismissed it as being too long a drive. Would have been a nice experience, though.

So I'm using it here for this purpose. Here it is: I believe in writing and I'm happy that e-mails and forums have put it back in fashion. For this reason I am usually rebuked by the internet slang. When I read LOL, I have to fight the feeling that this comment comes from a total moron (especially in its common translation of "lots of laughs"). I don't trust smileys too much I must add. However, i don't want to die in ignorance and am sometimes curious to understand what some supposedly honest and intelligent fellow meant by "IMHO" or "BTW". Happily I found this, http://www.internetslang.com/ which you already know I suppose, and now I can tell you all: MTFBWY!

I'm going to a car show (show and shine) locally this weekend. There are supposed to be upwards of 700 cars. I'll take some pics of the more notable cars. The last one I attended had everything from Big Healeys to Rat Rods. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather!
P.S. I have not forgotten to update the features index; I got back into town last night, and, hope to get to it between tomorrow morning and Saturday morning (before the car show).

I'm assuming you want posts outside of this thread that are actually worth reading, much like this is not.

You know why of course: same thing that happened to Paul happened to me.
I decided to start with page 1, and got maybe to page 5 then all went black. Next thing I know it was night and I was lying on my back, looking at the stars, naked, in the short grass of the pasture behind my place. I kind of remember seeing a round disc disappear into the night with a Dolby SR whizz but I may have dreamed that part.
IS PAGE FIVE AN ALIEN TRAP?
SHOULD KNOW CONSIDER MYSELF AS AN ABDUCTEE ?
-
I re-read pages 1-3. It put put a smile on my face, ten miles wide...
I'm afraid to go any further. The experiences recounted by others are vaguely reminiscent of the time I spent as a guest of the Greys.

Any of you seen the Derren Brown live special by that name? He just blows my mind. He's David Blaine's witty, sober and British counterpart. Do a search on YouTube for him, you won't be disappointed.

"Yeah right. You went to Catholic School, Frank. When was the last time you saw a young, attractive nun? While you're at it, why not make her fly too?"

Speaking of dust: Abybody seen WALL-E? Saw it yesterday, and when it comes to animating, Pixar are the absolute greats. The first scenes in the film, where we see the Earth covered with dust and litter, totally abandoned save for one little robot and his insect pet... those are eerily haunting and look so realistic. Totally impressive!

It's a pleasure...I'm thinking of a lot of project when I'll back...for example I would like to start a tread in wich someone can start to talk of one particular obscure make and all the happy crew can provide info from their sources...for example, I'm really interested in forgotten cars (like the Argonaut) and in this tread I can post what I know about, and anyone can add pics, links or whatever.In this way we can collect all the info available in the net and, most important, from our books or personal knowledge. We can chose a make each and move to the next when we decide the info are enough.

Great idea, Paul. You can count me in.
As for Edward Steichen, you can start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Steichen
Altough not the most famous of photographers, he played a very important role.
I remember a worlwide known book from his 1955 exhibition "The family of man". It made a great impression on me when I was a teenager.
-
Since I'm basically forced into posting here re: the first post, I guess I'll ask for some help.
I'm currently writing an essay on the photographer Edward Steichen for university, I was wondering if anyone had any useful links that they might be able to share? I could use some extra information to try and pad this one out...
Google Books is a great info resource. For instance, I typed in "Edward Steichen", and asked for results that included partial or complete previews of the books about him, or that feature some of his work. The link below includes what I found on Steichen.

Do me a favor and create these threads in the Vintage section. When they are finished perhaps we can get the likes of you and other puzzlers to edit some of them together so that we can use them as Feature Articles. :)
That could even get some of you puzzlers promoted to Feature Writer. :grad:

Me neither...
BTW I saw your pic in the Phil Hill's tread...really great!
I think in a couple of months it will be your birthday?
Thanks very much. :)
And if the birthday comment was aimed at me as well, then yes, it will be. How did you know? ???
Also thanks for the links, about 4 hours in and I think I'm done, I'm getting quite sick of this guy. ;D

Glad to see you out and about around the board, DHoffman.
Don't just read all the threads, post your thoughts in them too. The board needs to get discussions going to increase the brotherhood amongst its members, IMHO.

I supposed that, I just saw the mark on your pic, thought that you have your own site and looking for it, the first result was your presentation to a forum where I read about your birthday and the place you lived in 2006. No intention to scare you! I saw a few pics from you (just a few because from where I'm now my internet connection is too slow for bigger ones) and they are really great, expecially the colors...you are really a good photographer! Why do not post a link to that?

I've started working shifts in my new job - one week on, one week off. When I'm working, I do eleven-hour days (1pm to midnight), except for Saturdays (2pm to 10pm) and Sundays (2pm to 10pm or 4pm to midnight). Which means that in those weeks, there isn't much room for AutoPuzzling in the evening... and I usually sleep almost up to the point where I have to leave for work.
In my weeks off, though, things are a bit different. Maybe I'll get to posting one of those feature articles that I've been thinking about... and then I'll cook up another one or two insanely difficult group puzzles ;)

Not sure if anyone else is interested, but I'm ecstatic about it. The new Canon EOS 5D MkII came out very recently and a photographer got his hands on it.
This is what he created:
http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=2086
He said he had a budget of US $5000 excluding camera for this. The budget would most likely be the same for a film camera setup, the difference here being that this is a US $2700 digital SLR and a HD camera specifically made for film would be more in the range of US $80,000. I REALLY want to get my hands on one.

Today was road day, windshield time.
Started out trying to best my average high mile per gallon. Best is 31.2, and I was on track, until, really at the last moment I decided to go off highway down Niles Canyon / highway 84. Well, there went my best record, at the time I was at 31.8.
The trip back was what made the day. Thanks to Ultra, I DL'd some prime Prince. So I'm heading up 84 through the canyon, when a delivery truck three vehicles ahead, drops a wheel, looses traction, hooks it and flips. I see the passenger and driver get out, since they had to climb out of the passenger door, once I could see they were OK (a few people jumped out with cameras and cells), I made for a uturn to head back out of the two lane (the truck was blocking both lanes) canyon. Hooked back up with the 680 north and at the 580 Pleasanton on ramp, a no-plate Porsche Turbo merges zipper style in front of me. The highway was commuter clogged. We crawl along in the slow lane until we get to Livermore, where upon seeing the Porsche, reminded me that I needed to head over Livermore Audi for a small interior piece. The Porsche dealership is next to the Audi dealership, he nails it through some connecting roads and I'm just laughing at the quickness the car can achieve. I crawl up behind him at a stop sign, and he pulls into the Porsche crib, and I go one past his turn lane to Audi-haus. In the show room at the Audi dealership is a R8. The Porsche Turbo was silver, the R8 was silver. I'm rather liking the R8. 8) Over the window sticker is hand scribbled sign "SOLD", as in don't even think about asking a salesperson to sit inside.
Since I'm on backroads and killed my average high miles per gallon, I decided to take a little known road, Patterson Pass, over to the 5. I hook up with some commuters who probably drive this back road daily to avoid the 580. In front is a spanking new SAAB 9-5 Aero, and behind me is a Solstice. We hustle the mostly 1.5 lane wide road over the Pass and down into the valley. The Solstice drops off and it's run and gun on the onramp with the SAAB as we merge with the 5 south. 95 miles per hour and I'm down to averaging 23 mpg. :o
As the SAAB and I nose and tail it onto the 132, we pass a Silver A3. I've never seen one on the road. It looked odd, the body kit was Audi but not S-Line, and it had S4 mirrors. My guess it was a premium package with the OEM aero kit added.
So, what a day and I got paid. :o

A major clue popped up on my screen while the song was playing... you'll see my reply in the other thread. More of that, though - it's nice with some other quiz's too! At work, we go through the local newspaper's quiz in the newsroom every day - we're a competitive lot, and we hardly ever get stuck.
A little note on HüskerDü: I've never heard the band - but did you know that "Husker du" is Norwegian, meaning "Do you remember"?
-
Yes I knew it! Made some research on Wiki before.
The band's name is also added with so called "heavy metal umlauts" (röck döts) like Motörhead, Mötley Crüe or even Blue Öyster Cult.

-
A little note on HüskerDü: I've never heard the band - but did you know that "Husker du" is Norwegian, meaning "Do you remember"?
I remember it as a board game. I don't remember the brouhaha mentioned below:
The American version of the board game was first distributed in the 1950s by Pressman. The board game proclaimed itself a game "in which the child can outwit the adult."
A notorious advertisement for the game that aired during the 1973 Christmas Season for the game featured subliminal cuts, with the phrase "Get It". Even though subliminal messages are commonly believed to be ineffective, the FCC received complaints about the ad and issued a public notice calling subliminal advertising "deceptive and contrary to the public interest."
The Premium Corporation of America voluntarily removed the commercial from the air, claiming that the subliminal message was inserted in the commercial by a misguided employee.

I started spare ribs this morning at 7:00a, so they'd be ready for lunch and it was sprinking rain. Nothing like BBQ in the rain.
We'll see if my father in law brings the '65 Ranchero or the '63 Bug, well he might bring the '65 Mustang, well what ever car he brings I'm sure I can talk him into leaving it so I can detail it. Which ever car it is, I'll write up an article with pictures and post it here.

In Herat there are commercial flights, the Ariana (http://www.flyariana.com/), the Pamir (www.pamirairways.af/) and the Kamair (www.flykamair.com/), several civilian flights with different purposes (also humanitarian...) and military flights. My job is to control them, giving info, instructions and autorizations (called clereances) when they contact me leaving Kabul Center till they land and when they start up the engines till when they are airborne and they leave my airspace.

The thing that really keeps baffling me is how a puzzle that seems like a piece of cake to me, is just unsolvable to others. Like my puzzle #7, which was one of the first I posted, and still sits unsolved in the Pro section. Now, most puzzles I put up here now (in the Expert and Pro sections, anyway) are cars I hadn't heard about before I actively started searching for difficult puzzles, but that one was one that had been left on my harddisk for several years - and now there hardly seems to be any information about it at all, even though it comes from a relatively well-known manufacturer. And then, I post some obscure car that I had never heard of - and within minutes, three people fight to give me the answer...
So, as I said months ago in connection with one of my puzzles that I thought was difficult, but proved to be ridiculously easy: I guess it all comes down to which books you've read and which web pages you've visited...
-
They almost all baffle me.
;D
-
I'm certainly not the expert I once fancied myself. With a fair bit of Googling, I could solve most of them, back in the day. Now that there are so many sharp-eyed members with Googling skills and automotive libraries, coupled with the restrictions I hatched for "Pro" level puzzling, my solves are now rare, indeed.

Do you know your aircraft as well as your automobiles?
I know it`s strange but I don`t...I meet a lot of people asking me about that version of the new F-16 or if the Eurofighter has got that device or if that plane is a Boeing 737 or 727... I`m not interested in planes even If I really do like my job. I know the performances of the planes I work with because I need for my job...I can not put a C-130 before a Boeing 727 in a sequence, otherwise the 727 will have to slow down too much, I won`t ask an AB212 to report on final with the landing gear down and locked...but that`s it. I use to take a lot of pics of every aircraft because I like them, but I do not know them.
-
I haven't been on a plane since 9-11 and I am not looking to get on one again anytime soon.
-
I try to make a flight every time I can.... overflying the Tuscany on a PA28 is really a great experience...(in my base we do also have a civilian flight school...) but commercial flights ain`t the same, I agree.

Or you are just afraid of a deep control next time you take a plane? :D

I must be one of the only people that I know that enjoys public flights. I usually arrive at airports about 2 hours before the reccomended time of 45 minutes before a flight because I just enjoy being there, and the longer the flight the better....
-
I like travelling on commercial flights too, It`s always a thrill when you lift ftom the ground, but ...the longer the better... I don`t think. I made a 20-hours flight with a C-130 and I arrived like this:

Well I think that the method of travel is slightly different there. I've flown 14 hours straight in business class and loved every minute of it. The old economy isn't that good, I'm too tall to fit comfortably in the seats, but the newer economies suit me just fine as well.
-
This last time I flew to Korea, 18 hours, I did not take the U.S. carrier United. Instead, I took Singapore Air and was greeted with a new plane, new telematics/entertainment, frankly decent food and service that was beyond what I had ever received on an American airliner. Politeness, breeds politeness and relaxation. I hate flying, but this isn't the usual anxiety filled reason. No, I hate being treated like a product. I love to fly smaller commuter planes with out all the safety layers. I love to fly private, and after my wonderful flight with Singapore, will not take an American carrier for that flight in the future.
Now what I'd really enjoy, is to be shot off the bow of the Carrier USS. Abe Lincoln in a prowler.

Nice new Feature, huh?

Is there such a thing as a feature photographer as opposed to feature writer? I'm by no means whatsoever a writer, I wouldn't say I despise, but I certainly struggle with 'stories'. I do however, greatly enjoy photography, and have the capability to put something together with photos. I haven't seen that photography allows the same 'privileges' here though...
-
DH, photographic reviews of events or subjects, with some narration of the event or subject (along with some hints and tips for fumbling photogs like me), would absolutely elevate you to the rank of Feature Writer.
FWIW, the bits I've seen of you work to-date lead me to believe you won't be 'struggling' indefinitely.

Might just be me, but it strongly reminds me of raw salmon marinated in lime juice. Which is one of my favourite varieties of the salmon possibilities... Another brilliant one is smoked salmon with fresh honey and honeycomb, avocado and caper salad.

A really good alternative to the long process of smoking Salmon is to prepare it on wood Cedar planks over open charcoal. The best! Probably though getting the Salmon and the planks might be difficult. When the Salmon "run" here in California it's quite the sight. They swim in from the ocean, up the delta, through the different tributaries, ultimately some reach as high as Lake Tahoe to breed. We had property that a finger tributary from the Yuba river would be fill with Salmon. We sometimes could chase one into a shallow depression off the bank and never had to use a fishing line. A fresh Salmon, open fire on the banks of the river with four friends and a case of beer.....good times.
Though Salmon is one of my favs, sashimi style tuna belly has to top it by far.

Smoked Salmon is one of my favorite smoked fish. Smoked Chubs are really good too.

Smoked Eel, or 'Paling' in dutch, is probably the absolute best smoked fish I know.

lekkere haring, gerrrrookte paling! ;D
-
Ik mis de Nederlandse vis zo veel! Ik heb haring hier in Australie ge-probeert, en het was AFSCHUWLIJK! Kan niet eens paling vinden hier, laat staan van de zelfde kwaliteit als in Nederland verkrijgbaar is.
-
That is just so hilarious. I understand more or less everything - if you know Norwegian, German, and English, Dutch isn't that hard to get - when written. When spoken, it's just a mish-mash of guttural sounds ;)
I don't much fancy any kind of fish myself. I did go fishing for salmon once, though. Now, there's a kick! Got one, not with a fly, but with a regular spinner, from the riverbank. Amazing! Naturally, I had to eat that one, and it didn't taste too bad.
-
Anything but lutfisk, please.
-
Oh, gross.
In my family, the traditional Christmas dinner (on Christmas eve) is cod. I eat something else, though.
But on Christmas Day, we have turkey. The culinary highlight of the year.

When I was young me and my parents often visited Colijnsplaat a small fishing port in Zeeland/NL. There was a small shack where they sold 'garnaalen', gerookte paling (smoked eel), nieuwe matjes haring etc.. I've never tasted any fish of that quality again.
-
I love eel. Horrific sounding, perhaps, but a good eat nevertheless. Had some very tasty preparations in Korea too.
And, frankly, not to brag, just passing on information from previous g-friends....I guess I'm known for my smok'n Chub also.
-
Um well... Wow! :lmao:
-
And, frankly, not to brag, just passing on information from previous g-friends....I guess I'm known for my smok'n Chub also.
"Previous girlfriends" sounds exactly like women who no longer wish to have anything to do with you sexually. And you believe what they told you about your smokin' chub? :shakehead:
Silly boy. :bonk:

Just pass'n the luv of the smok'n chub.
Besides, the best way to break off a relationship is to always blame yourself "....it's not you, it's ME". Possibly the best line evar invented for the serial monogamist and holder of classically defined, traditional moralist relationships. Tho some of my gay friends have used the line too, not surprisingly.
A person can only have so many “serious” relationships before they get hitched, no?
Unless he continues to share his chub in spite of traditional Christian marital vows?
-
I have been single for my whole life. There is nobody to blame but me.
-

Blame for being single? More than a few would consider being "single" a celebration, most being female. No one is truly "single" anyway. Everyone owns somebody and in turn, they are owned by someone else. It's all about sharing the luv for the chub. 8)

It's gonna be a dark Christmas here. I've had to cut and cut my staff this year (from 22 to 6). Yesterday, I was told my entire division would be cut another 40%. I will have to interview for the job I already have, and I am:
- The newest manager in the department
- Hundreds of miles from the bosses with whom I should have curried more favor
- Supporting a customer in the financial services sector - which I ironically selected as being more secure than the Auto industry, which I supported before
I will know my fate in the next week or two. :(

We are all with you, Otto.
This is the best and most stupid thing I am finding to say.
Maybe soon we'll all be REALLY with you.

Merry thanksgiving and Happy holidays etc.

Here we still have to wait for the snow. But they say that we'll get it for the Christmas Eve (which in Poland is the most important part of the Christmas).
-
We don't have as much snow as they up Ultra's way, but it was enough for me to throw out my back, after the plows put a 4 foot pile of compacted snow and ice at the end of my driveway.
-
In the past years snow has been rarely seen in this area of the world. White Christmas didn't happen every year, but apparently more often as I was young.
Some say this part of the world (Central Europe) will economically profit from global warming. A great comfort... :-\
-
On another note - Poland's been surprisingly little hit by the global economic turmoil. Feels like (almost) nothing's happening, at least until I open a new issue of The Economist ;)

No trick other than simply giving it a shot. The next to the [insert image] is used to insert a flash object. It simply inserts the following: {flash=200,200}{/flash} (substitute real brackets for the squigglies). It occurred to me that youtube uses flash for their videos so I figured why not see what happens. I put the link to the vid in the brackets and changed the vid size and voila!
It freakin worked the first time!
Didn't see that coming. Nothing ever works the first time.

Vettel did great for so much of the race, even without the 'miracle diffuser' used on the winning cars. The fates were against me in the F1 manager realm.
If the race had ended just a few laps earlier, I would have had the second and third place driver, and had better results in the engine and chassis department. C'est la vie.

Didn't take long before somebody noticed ;)
Just popped in to say that hopefully some time during Easter I'll get back to the puzzles I've left unsolved for so long. I'm terribly sorry that it's been such a long time since I've been here, but I've been very busy at work and with trying to make a life in my new town... it takes a while, you know! And also, I found that I was a little bit too active and needed to slow down a bit. Started getting a little bit tired of cars, which is no good sign - better to lay off for a while and get back to it later. Now that spring is here and I've managed to get my little blue Fiat going again (it's been standing outdoors all winter, the poor thing) I can feel the interest in cars starting to come back...
But I've missed AutoPuzzles.com and I'll try to be a more regular guest again hereafter!
Hope you're all well and that you don't hold a grudge against me for staying away... I'll be back soon!
Cheers!

Publishable? Hmmm... publishable... that's a toughie. I've got lots of material that's completely unpublishable on that very subject, but nothing that even remotely resembles anything suitable for human consumption.
"From the very genesis of implementation, the Bureau of Land Management's Geographic Coordinate's database began with a flawed premise, imprecise execution, mismanaged data acquisition, and the kind of rampant devil-may-care development that one usually witnesses among besotted French vintners/software developers during harvest season in Provence. As one traces the creation, procedures, rules and consistency of the BLM data structure, one realizes that rabid simians would have fared better in this quest, even if they had to somehow develop the database in the seminal format of flung feces. The fact that otherwise rational individuals have come to rely upon such a government created steaming heap of bukkake code, leads one to question one's own veracity. However, the preponderance of evidence (eg: the cadastral stating that all of Rhode Island is, in fact, located somewhere south of Tempe, AZ, the insistence that Missituckey is actually a state, the disappearance of Roswell, NM from all land survey records (Ok, so that may be intentional, rather than simply incompetence.) all point conclusively to the single unified theorem that offers any form of rational explanation: the BLM has developed a mind-control ray.

Nah. I just have lots of experience with feces flinging bukkake code. Mostly on the creation side. Sadly, I program like I write. So much so that I've been told that I should abstain from all program commenting and/or documentation. Or else. In a quantified study, it was discovered that it was far more efficient to weigh through my spaghetti code than it was to try to follow my "so-called, alleged, documentation".
So I've got that going for me.

It's an honour to be asked. I'll resume my duties as a puzzler first, and then we'll see about that offer!
The Pro puzzles are now out of the way - only the Expert and Rookie sections left...

So, just like that, you are right back in the flow.

Would like to see him do it in the dry but yes I think you are correct.

Yep, he's a rain miester all right. Once everyone is running similar diffusers, I suspect the Red Bull - which is already very good - will give him a platform to show his stuff. Seems like a genuinely likable lad, too.

I don't think the DDD is going to translate well to the Red Bull design.

Pull rods are a problem, but Newey knows his craft. And Red Bull's doesn't have to be as good as Brawn's and Toyota's. They were the best of the non-DDD teams without it.

With about 22,000 more hits before the end of the month we can get 200,000 hits for the month. That would be over 50,000 more than our previous high.

BAH HUMBUG!
Last time I was here, I saw and posted in (or so I thought) a very cool thread ... with pics of interior of cars ... and had guessed on a few of them. NOW, I canNOT for the life of me find that dang thread.
Anyone know/remember the thread about which I write? If so ... what happened to it?
*sighs*
I hope I'm just missing it somewhere.......................

I asked Ray B to move it out of the Pros and Feature Writers category so knightfan could get access to it.

Makes sense! :)

Let's hope Ray B agrees.

Sorry knightfan: Ultra warned me of your enquiry. The thread has gone to the "Pros and Feature Writers" section (I thought other members coulds see these threads, just not answer them). I learned that you just can't see them.
Your guesses were all wrong, I am sorry to say. 3 of the 4 cars you guessed have been found since.
I could move the thread backwards to another section, but I think it would be bad policy: we'd have too many guys asking the same after they let their chance pass.
There are only 2 cars left to find in this one. You'll have to wait until it's all solved and moved to the Solved section. Be patient.
And thanks for appreciating my puzzle.

Today's date is one of only six this century that will feature three consecutive odd numbers. 5-7-(0)9

And by the way, Otto, how do you know that? Did you read it somewhere or are you just an excellent driver?

Reading this thread is some weird sort of contradiction. It's like I'm moving forward, but not really moving at all. Endlessly, endlessly.

That looks like Christopher Walken.
More cowbell.

I don't rightly know if it's him. Regardless, how to get a cowbell to him, what with him being twixt dimensions and all?

-
V8 rowboat.
;D
-
Unless I miss my guess, and we know that never happens ::) , that's a flat-8, not a V. Moreover, it has a simultaneous firing (stroke - in oarcraft parlance) sequence, that gives the distinctive power surge that has been the bane of oar and paddle boat NVH (Noise Vibration and Harshness) engineers. Though there have been numerous attempts to cure the surging, nobody has yet effected a suitable solution. Witness the disastrous effort by Colin Coxwain at the 1957 Cambridge-Oxford Boat Race where the Oxford crew showed up with a lengthened skull sported a full 12 man crew. A protest was immediately lodged and just as immediately rescinded when Cambridge discovered that the Oxford team intended to row according to the firing order of the Rolls Royce Griffon I (Firing Order revision 1). The staggered order (1-11-2-9-4-7-6-8-5-10-3-12) was designed to give maximum linear power with no surge and a smooth delivery unheard of in rowcraft. Of course, the inevitable occurred, and a missed stroke on man 3 caused a cascading oar clash that is problematic in an interference-design skull.
Oxford made it barely 30 feet before the fisticuffs broke out. Colin was banished, as was asynchronous rowing. Further study showed that Colin completely ignored the fundamental issues inherent in applying four-stroke technology to what is demonstrably a single stroke engine.
Further exploration has yielded the more modern synchronous-stagger stroke where the rowers movements mimic those of the common centipede, however everybody agrees that it's just really too creepy.
-
Piersdad, just so you know, what I wrote is utter balderdash. You're new so I don't want you thinking that there might be useful or factual content in there. There isn't.
In fact, you can pretty much assume this to be the case for anything I post.
And just for the record, that is a really cool row boat. Did you design that yourself? I'd love to see a video of it in action.

this is the stuff that inventions are created from.
i have a model row boat that has over 15 years done some 100 km of rowing .
it was the sucessfull elipical movement of this mechanics that i have adapted to a multi oared boat
the boat is more finished now(no pics yet) with a grinning man on a throne on front deck with 2 levers that appear to controll the sweating men under the decks.
the whip man in the rear boosts the efforts of the 8 men
so it could be described as a
super charged V8 powered personal launch from 3000 years ago

Dammit, you just had to take me semi-seriously didn't you? Now I'm trying to think up ways of creating an elliptical centipedal rowing drive. Let me tell you, it ain't nice. Nor is it pretty. Or working. Or anything but something that's bugging me.
Still... it would seem to me that it would be more efficient if you could devise a laterally synchronized rowing system that did mimic a centipede's leg movements. It would avoid oar collisions and, rather than all efforts being applied in one short burst, you'd have ... awwww see? SEE? This ain't right! Crappity crap crap crap crapcrapcrap. It was an off-the-cuff brain fart. It's not supposed to be right!
Somebody must have done this before. I'm not that bright. Or stupid. Or something.
Let me google it and... oh jeez... huh.... lookit that. Well, I guess I'm not the only crackpot out there.

thanks for the pic porridge you have got me thinking it only took me 3 months to develop the oars mechanics and about 3 prototypes so now i am inspired to create the centiped action which would really take a crackpot like me to invent.

onlyjust finished a flying mail box mechanics but a centreped could take a bit of thinking but not impossible. :)
How about a rotating bit of piano wire, bent at the appropriate angle, moving though an arc defined by an eccentric opening in the centipede's "skin"?
-
the oars are the problem the ends have to make a elipical movement as well as a horizontal arc.
atm i am thinking of a tilting beam so that the oars are progressivly diped in sequence but the other back forward movement is a lot more complex
how ever i may set up your idea and se if there is some way it can be used
-
The piano wire would be mounted on the face of a rotating disk. If the arc of the disk were greater than the ellipse of the opening at it's greatest dimension, I believe the tension of the springy piano wire would press it against the edge of the opening. The shape of the opening would define the movement.
-
one of the problems is the very complex movement of a correctly operating oar and i over come this with the oar boat by making the mens arm of soft rubber and this made the movement very realistic as the expanding contracting of the rubber arms looked as if they were flexing their muscles.
i can get the wave motion with a tilting beam(see saw) but the back forward movement is individually worked so apart from several sets of gear operating each oar or a belt drive i have not solved the problem.
the worm drive (piano wire) has a back forward movement in two directions and the oar action will be irractic
how ever the workshop ATM is 4 C (freezing) and i will tackle the problem later when th eday is warmer.

I've never taken more than 3 or 4 days off for vacation in my working life.
Don't really know what I'd do with myself.
I tend to take one or two days off here and there as needed.
However, I am saving up for a real vacation next year. Short plans are to meet my brother and his family in London. My brother lives in Seoul, but my sister-in-law has a sister in London and hopes are we can all meet up at her place in England. I haven't been to London in over 10 years. Plus from last we saw each other in Seoul, she was having her place remodeled and since then I've seen some pictures and it's very nice. Being an investment banker in London still has some perks apparently.
My next short vacation is to go to BurningMan.

Short plans are to meet my brother and his family
when my wife (who was adopted at birth) was 60 she found out that she had 6 siblings.
we arranged for a reunion of the family and only one knew of my wife (a sister of 10 years seniority)
and secretly we joined the family at the reunion.
the oldest brother who was a mans man whent up to a younger brother and said .
" have a lady friend i would like you to meet"
the totally shocked brother could not believe his older brither had a 'lady friend'
then he introduced my wife to him and said
"meet your older sister"
the rest of the family were also let into the secret sister and we all had a lovely time.
although their mother had died some time ago my wife was the only member that
took after her and was the spitting image of her late mother.
so that reunion was some thing very special

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

I've now used my last paid sick day ... and it is not even the end of July. Ugh. Wasn't feeling well yesterday afternoon/evening, woke up with a sore throat and a headache this morning ... headache gone, but throat still sore a bit. I hate it that people come into work ... sick ... spreading germs around without a thought for others. I generally pay for that, because I'm so susceptible :(. Ah, well. Course, it doesn't help (at least this time around) that I haven't slept much this whole week....

How about a ode to AutoPuzzles. Anyone else care to add a verse or two?
'Twas early on the morning, I got an e-mail warning, another puzzle had appeared.
I opened up a browser, used my wireless mouse, sir, to see the newest puzzles here.
Oh, heavens! It’s another Seven. What will my fellow Puzzlers think?
The dependency on kit cars, by polyglots from afar, will surely drive us all to drink!
One more miss-cloned Countach is bound to start a backlash the likes of which we’ve never seen.
Is that puzzler a subscriber, to “Icelandic Car & Driver” my least favorite auto magazine?
Their unique and fuzzy articles, and tiny pics like particles, will fill the “Black Hole” to the rim.
Until my dearest buddy, a hardy soul quite ruddy, pulls the other copy out of the bin.
What shall we make of big lots, low-volume coachbuilt Fiats, two living souls have ever spied?
And over-chromed white walled cars, part of the past tail-fins farce, from when Ike was someone we all liked?
Home built abominations, esthetically-challenged creations, so long gone and far way.
Those hungry hungry termites, tin-worms and meteorites, thankfully sent them to their graves.
This place, unique and quirky, I think we can all agree, we’d not have it any other way.
My online home is this place, the challenges I dig, grace my favorite place to start my day.

It may sound odd, but I was listening to a recording of Lord Chancellor's Nightmare Song (from Iolanthe). While relating to the general insomniac underpinnings of the song (hence my showing up at all hours to work on this site), I liked the structure of the phrasing, and though I'd pen something similar.
But the darkness has passed, and it's daylight at last, and the night has been long – ditto, ditto my song – and thank goodness they're both of them over!

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the world-famous detective Sherlock Holmes, was not above telling self-deprecating tales.
In one situation, he was waiting at a taxi stand outside the railway station in Paris. When a taxi pulled up, he placed his suitcase in the car and took a seat next to it.
"Where can I take you, Mr. Doyle?" asked the taxi driver.
Doyle was flabbergasted. He asked the driver whether he knew him by sight.
"No, sir, I have never seen you before."
The puzzled Doyle asked him how he knew who he was.
"This morning's paper had a story about you being on vacation in Marseilles. This is the taxi-stand where people who return from Marseilles always come to. Your skin color tells me you have been on vacation. The ink-spot on your right index finger suggests to me that you're a writer. Your clothing is very English, and not French. And so, I deduced that you are Sir Arthur Conan Doyle."
Doyle remarked, "This is truly amazing. You are a real-life counterpart to my fictional creation, Sherlock Holmes."
"There is one other thing," the driver said.
"What is that?"
"Your name is on the front of your suitcase."

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal, its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven, I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."

A newly discovered asteroid designated 2009 VA, which is only about 7 meters in size, passed about 2 Earth radii (14,000 km) from the Earth's surface Nov. 6 at around 16:30 EST. This is the third-closest known (non-impacting) Earth approach on record for a cataloged asteroid.
The two closer approaches include the 1-meter sized asteroid 2008 TS26, which passed within 6,150 km of the Earth's surface on October 9, 2008, and the 7-meter sized asteroid 2004 FU162 that passed within 6,535 km on March 31, 2004.
On average, objects the size of 2009 VA pass this close about twice per year and impact Earth about once every 5 years.

A man who isn't qualified keeps pestering this tailor about giving him a job selling suits. Finally, the owner tells him if he can sell this one green suit he will give him a job.
Another employee points out to owner that they have had that suit on the rack for four years, and that it is such an ugly, green suit that nobody would ever buy it.
The owner replies, "Yah, I know. That's my way of getting rid of that pest!"
Two hours later the new guy calls his boss for his next assignment. The owner cannot believe it and heads down to the store to see how this fellow did it. Upon arrival he sees his new salesman bleeding, scratched, and his clothes torn in several places, but smiling.
"Congratulations, the job is yours! Nobody has come close to selling that old, ugly, green suit. But tell me, what in the world happened to you?"
"Well, replied the salesman, the guy that bought the suit loved it...said it fit him great. As far as my injuries go, he had this really sensitive seeing-eye dog!"

The water powered motor mower
Colin had an old mower and after many years of faithful service the carburetor finally decided it was kaput.
The lawn refused to stop growing so with some lateral thinking Colin fed a hose from the air intake to the outlet of the petrol tank and with another pipe fed down to the bottom of the tank it enabled the air to bubble through the petrol before entering the motor.
Well the motor mower worked fine as long as the tank was full and so just adding a bit of water to the tank allowed the bubble up system to work.
So this day a friend stopped to chat and while Colin was mowing the lawn. However the motor mower spluttered to a stop and so Colin commented to his friend that it had run out of water and at that Colin turned the hose on and part filled the tank.
To add to the friend’s amazement he added a few hand full of grass.(this stopped the water from getting into the air outlet)
This enabled the remaining petrol to vaporize well and run the motor again,
So a totally amazed friend now goes around telling people that he has a friend that runs his mower on water and grass clippings.

I need a bulb for the horn on my car and as it is vintage car there is none made for the last 20 years
In fact bulb horns went out in the 1926 and the old one was totally perished.
I asked around friends if they knew of a supply of this very rare object.
It was just a large rubber bulb that fitted on the end of the vintage cars air horn and when you squeezed it went KKLLAAARRRK ? like a goose in great pain.
Well it was several weeks till a lady told me that a chemist shop might help but did not elaborate on what it might be off.
I asked around other friends and soon found out the article I wanted it was called? A boogie and its use was used for a medical purpose but they did not elaborate on what it was used for.
So green as grass and only 18 years old I bowled into the chemists shop and asked the attractive young lady attendant? for a boogie.? She seemed embarrassed and said
"I had better ask the? chemist"
and called the boss over.
I again asked for a boogie and the chemist asked me what I wanted it for.
I in my innocence said I wanted it for my horn.
The chemist grinned widely and said
“Do you know what a boogie is used for”
“No sir”
“It used for relieving constipated people of their hardened poohs”
At this I was getting rather embarrassed and asked if I could see one.
When he produced the article it appeared to have all sorts of bits that fitted to the end of a large rubber bulb.
It was used to inject soapy water in unmentionable placed to relieve constipation.
“You say you wanted it for your horn”
“Yes sir its for my car “
“Ahh your car horn” he replied with some relief.
The rubber bulb was just what I wanted and after it was wrapped up I exited the chemist shop not daring to look the lovely young lady assistant in the eye.
After that I threw the accessories away and attached the bulb to the cars horn.
Well from then on every time I blew this horn it reminded me of a loud FAARRT? rather than a goose in great pain.

Fair warning, AutoPuzzlers!
82 Topics Rookie puzzles remain unsolved. 71 Experts puzzles, and 161 Pro puzzles, too. I will inflict upon this forum a rain of Leonard Nimoy's golden-throated warbling until these number are brought down to a more manageable level. The example below is, believe it or not, is held up as one of Der Spockster's "better" recordings. It only gets worse, from here. Get crackin' on the growing backlog of unsolved puzzles, or there will be more Leonard Nimoy singing posts. You wouldn't want that, now would you?
http://www.youtube.com/v/W69_mV57-_0&hl=en_US&fs=1&
-
I have a suggestion that might help cut them down.
At a certain point, merge remaining threads from the same author into larger threads once they are past their prime. Essentially consolidate the backlog into a 'group' thread, that can still be solved one by one at their own pace. That way it's possible to maintain the amount of puzzles but with a lower thread count...
-
Where's the sadistic fun in that? :D
OK - we'll take your suggestion under consideration.
-
Some of my puzzles are very hard, I must admit, but some of them are half-solved and others can be found just asking the right questions...
I'll give more clues, anything to avoid that torture!
-
That's the spirit!

Fear..manifests in bashing...as if the basher can control what they fear.
Makes little difference if it's football..boxing..chess..or as it appears F1.
Little people fear...the others just plan..work..create..strive with whatever talents and funding they can scrape.
Sometimes people fail..sometimes they succeed.
Some want to abort those they fear.
Fear just humiliates the fearful.

There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
But everyone laughs at him, just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break
They don't care as long as there is a jester, just a fool
As foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's a rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me
Look at me, look at me, I'm the funny man...

A fresh breeze sneaked into the vale, not unlike the smell of a rain just before the clouds bestow their blessing on the farmer’s field. At once not unlike and different from the cat’s pawed fog, this breeze had four legs. A different sort of quadruped was he, with a name surely conjured by feverish librarian Scrabble contest runner’s up, or perhaps a handful of monkeys stationed at typewriters by a decree of Borges. Or mayhap, one infinite monkey. But the origin of his moniker was not worth the consideration given it in the preceding sentences.
This new arrival made a grand entrance from the air, carefully dodging the clouds that would not actually gather until the next page. After docking the dew-laden dirigible, he climbed aboard his old bicycle, dulled with the dust of a thousand excursions to the far-flung Isles of Langerhans, and he would ride and ride. Over and through the countryside, and even to town, on occasion. The urchins would giggle and point. Even upon their first espy of this curious-looking, self actuating creature, they stood in the shadow of the tobacconist’s wooden aboriginal sculpture – ‘twas a very hot summer indeed - they would cry "oh, look, look - here comes Ort Antiknock". He'd give them a wink, and morsel from his satchel and – whoosh! - was gone in a flash.

I was channeling something I read elsewhere about this site, written by the same person, time and again, seemingly every time AutoPuzzles is mentioned. Nobody ever implored him to visit, but he repeatedly chimed in with the same comment. He wanted to make it very clear.
This was somebody I made a point of reaching out to, to inquire as to his well-being, after starting this site and concentrating my time here. Since he never has and never will visit, and has started his own board, it was cathartic for me to paraphrase his position.

Don't vote. By casting a vote you are saying you support the system you live under. By not voting you help to deny it legitimacy. If an election was held and no one showed up, would it mean anything?
Why I Do Not Vote
This originally appeared November 14, 2000.
With the 2000 election behind us – if, indeed, it will ever be behind us – I have now gone 36 years without participating in the voting process. It was not always thus. Upon my graduation from law school, my first full-time job was that of executive secretary of the Nebraska Republican Party. I later became a member of the State Central Committee, the Young Republican State Executive Committee, one of the incorporators of Barry Goldwater’s first national fund-raising campaign, and a member of the Nebraska delegation to the 1964 Republican National Convention. The Goldwater movement was the precursor to the modern Libertarian Party, and was largely energized by young men and women who were convinced that state power had become destructive of individual liberty and social order, and that "working within the system" could change all of that. My experiences in the Republican Party convinced me otherwise. Like Karl Hess, a man who was to become one of my dearest friends years later, I quickly lost my appetite for politics and have never returned.
Is there a case to be made for voting? Indeed there is, if one believes that social order is a quality that can be instilled, by violence and other coercive means, by political authorities. I do not accept this proposition. To the contrary, I believe that social order is the product of unseen, spontaneous influences of which most of us are not consciously aware. The study of economics helped me to understand how we respond, marginally, to fluctuations that are continuously generated by one another’s self-seeking pursuits. I also came to understand that politics – like a rock thrown through a spider’s web – disrupts these informal processes as well as the existing patterns of interconnectedness upon which any social order depends.
I suspect that most of those reading these words share my sense of liberty and social order, and so I shall not address the mindset of the statists herein. I understand the temptation, born largely of a sense of frustration, of wanting to participate in the political process in order to get persons elected who more closely reflect one’s views. The illusion of a short-term reduction in the rate of increase of state power clouds the longer-term consequences inherent in political participation. Political systems derive their power not from guns and prisons, but from the willingness of those who are to be ruled to expend their energies on their behalf. For state power to exist, a significant number of men and women must sanction the idea of being ruled by others, a sanction that depends, ultimately, upon the credibility of those who exercise such power. When we vote in an election, we are declaring, by our actions, our support for the process of some people ruling others by coercive means. Our motivations for such participation – even if they be openly expressed as a desire to bring state power to an end – do not mitigate the fact that our energies are being employed on behalf of the destructive principle that liberty and social order can best be fostered through the coercive machinery of the state.
One of the sadder comments that I heard, just prior to the recent election, was from a radio talk show host whose thoughtful and analytical mind I generally respect. In response to a caller who complained that Gov. Bush was philosophically inconsistent upon some issue, he declared that "politics is the art of compromise," and that if one wanted principled consistency, one could find it "only in a religion." It is this attitude upon which I wish to focus, for I believe that the conflicts we experience – both within ourselves as individuals and socially – derive from a sense of division. The attitude that one’s philosophic principles are nothing more than interesting "ideas" that have no relevance to how we behave with others – an attitude that is implicit in this talk show host’s remarks – is what is destroying us, both individually and societally. It derives from the same sentiment, articulated in the actions of Bill Clinton, that truth-telling is simply one of a number of strategies available in efforts to reach political "compromise"; that a lie is as good as the truth if you can get others to believe it. It is the notion that principles are nothing more than fungible commodities – to be traded according to the prices dictated by prevailing fashion – that now directs the seemingly endless cycle of vote recounts in Florida. As Groucho Marx put it: "Those are my principles. If you don’t like them, I have others."
I have long found nourishment in the words of Richard Weaver: "ideas have consequences." If I am of the view that politics is destroying our world – and let us not forget that politics managed to kill off some 200,000,000 of our fellow humans in the 20th century alone – am I prepared to direct my energies into such a destructive system? If I answer "yes," which I would do if I voted, then do my philosophic principles have any real-world meaning to them, or are they simply amusing ideas to be talked about, debated, or dispersed across cyberspace? If I cannot end the division within myself by living with integrity (i.e., by having my behavior and my principles integrated into a coherent whole) then what hope is there for the rest of mankind doing so? I am mankind, as are you, and as Carl Jung so eloquently put it: "if the individual is not truly regenerated in spirit, society cannot be either"; that the individual must realize "that he is the one important factor and that the salvation of the world consists in the salvation of the individual soul." To participate in politics is to consciously devote one’s energies to mass-mindedness; to the statist proposition that collective thinking and collective behavior preempt the will of the individual.
Still, there is a basis for optimism. Just as the marketplace generates its own responses to government regulatory schemes, there are informal processes at work undercutting the foundations of statism. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the discrediting of state socialism generally; anti-taxation and secessionist movements throughout the world; the study of chaos – whose major tenet that complex systems are unpredictable strips away any rationale for state planning and control; the Internet as an unrestrained expression of information and ideas; and, in America, the contributions of Clinton and Gore to bringing discredit upon and destroying the credibility not only of the presidency, but of government itself, have all been major contributors to the terminal condition of Leviathan. How remarkable, that the Internet – which Al Gore advised us he created! – should now be the undoing of the imperial presidency that he and Mr. Clinton sought to enlarge! What better confirmation of the power of unintended consequences!
At no period in my lifetime have the opportunities for reversing the dehumanizing nature of politically dominated societies been greater. Leviathan is dying as a consequence of its inner contradictions. Those of us who love liberty should rethink any temptations we might have to rush to the deathbed of statism and attempt to revivify its corpse by giving it a transfusion of our energies. The society upon which statism has fed will doubtless undergo a few headaches, fevers, and upset stomachs in the interim. But like a case of the flu, it may be better to let the sickness run its course rather than continue our habit of suppressing the symptoms.

Politicians. Promise you the world and if you're happy you can get a bit of left-over bread.
I don't know how voting in every country is done, but certainly in certain countries to not vote means more or less giving the voting power in the hands of other idiots. And we have seen what that can do: Joerg haider, Filip Dewinter and probably Geert Wilders all have or will become a a mayor backing in voting because a lot of people decided they were not interested in voting because it is all old hat and nothing will change.

I think the US version is a little too mellow and the hosts are not that charismatic. J. Clarkson's would be interrupted with a permanent "beep!" I guess – but his and his colleagues sense of humour is one of the main reasons to watch the show.

Much like acid reflux, this thread keeps coming back up. Seems to share a lot with me... especially that bad taste in the mouth part. Figured I'd pop in for my semi annual visit and wish merriment upon all the denizens of autopuzzles.com. My, but you have grown. It all goes so quickly, whereas once you were but a fledgling site and now look at you! All growed up and filled out! Nearly 1,000 members strong, though some stronger than others, self included.
And yet, I still can't identify a single damn novice puzzle.
Nevertheless, Happy Solstice Season one and all!

"Breakpoint"
Megadeth - Lyrics by Dave Mustaine
Make up the rules for me to live by
Rules you break and just let it slide
You try and find you inside of me
Be as great as you want me to be
Hypocrite, the word that fits
Do as you say
Not as you do
You're pushing me to a breakpoint
Pushing me, push, push me to a breakpoint
Self esteem you seem to lack
Point the finger
There's three pointing back
Control's the illusion with all good intent
Bad times are contagious
You laugh and infect
Criticist, the word that fits
Put me down to lift you up
You're pushing me to a breakpoint
Pushing me, push, push me to a breakpoint
Watching pain is your only pleasure
Sick fascination for someone's disaster
Self suffering since you were born
Mess with the bull and you'll get the horn.
Misery, the word that fits
Can't seem to smile 'till someone's sad
You're pushing me to a breakpoint...
You're pushing me, push, push me
Push, push, push me to a breakpoint
In my opinions as a professional I recommend
We straight-jacket the son-of-a-b**ch
Lock him in a rubber room
Sedate him, heavily
And when he wakes up,
If he wakes up, we'll see
If he can be a nice boy
Well... I don't know... It's gonna hurt me
More that it's gonna hurt him
Let's do it!
You push me to a breakpoint, breakpoint
Push me to a breakpoint, breakpoint
Don't push me, you piece of s**t!
-
I'll add a lyric of my own. But I'll leave the title and performer as a puzzle.
What gives you the right? Hey you
To stand there and tell me what to do
Tell me who gave you the power?
To stop me from livin' like I do
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
Just one time I'd like to be somewhere
Where none of your clever lies fill the air
I'm tired of your frozen smile and your voice of tin
Just might all gang up on you, turn the knob and do you in
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
This never ending power play
'Tween jealous greed and vicious hate
Is grinding us like giant millstones
But it can't be our only fate
It's time we got our heads together
And let 'em know that we're awake
Those in the dark, you know they're no longer blind
They're breakin' from your strangle hold on their minds
Those who can see don't need no one to cross the street
Be careful who you're pushin' round, they just might find you obsolete
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
What gives you the right? Hey
To stand there and tell me what to do
Tell me who gave you the power?
To stop me from livin' like I do
Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away
Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Well, I'm here so I'll post something. Yesterday I got some work done on the race car. 2 potential problems were investigated and turned out not to be problems at all. I was afraid that one or two of the spark plug holes in one of the AFR aluminum heads would have to be drilled, tapped and have Heli-Coils inserted. This turned out not to be the case. The threads seem fine and the plugs look very good after it was last run.
The other issue was a possibility of the crankshaft snout requiring the same treatment: drill, tap and helicoil because of thread damage (no, I don't screw up the threads on everything, just some that seem to be the very most troublesome) but it's ok and there's enough thread to use a longer bolt than the stock one that retains the vibration damper and to which the main belt pulley attaches.
So I just need to get the transmission removed and repaired, along with new headers and exhaust system (the thrashing driveshaft really messed up the exhaust.)
-
Yes, it really did mess up the exhaust.

"You take the good, you take the bad" __ Gloria Loring __ 'The Facts Of Life'
-
Boredom is defeated, by increasing the priority of the low-priority items in your life.
Having a busy life means, there are a lot of activities to which you attach a lot of importance.
If you "never have any free time", look at your daily routine, and drop the priorities of some items.
Hi Ray! Nice car!
-
Thanks, Bill. Cort, I hope ya got some sleep. I just got back from picking up a new seat for the race car with 5-point harnesses. I fired the car up last night and ran it until it would idle on its own. It's a cold-blooded beast. Then I added some more ATF to see if I'd worked a bit of a miracle and got the transmission to function. Well, the open shorty headers had heat-soaked the starter and it the solenoid wouldn't kick. So I called it quits for the evening. Now it's time to go back to work on it.
RtR
-
Update on the "heat soaked starter solenoid." My diagnosis was a little bit off. The tranny case is completely broken. Not good. Now I gotta come up with a different solution...like taking the broken one and the old spare to a guy I trust and see if he can make 1 out of 2.
This wasn't what I needed.
RtR
-
With the solenoid getting heat-soaked, might it be a good idea to rig up a remotely mounted solenoid? (Away from the heat)
-
It does have a remote solenoid. I thought that the exhaust blasting right on it had caused it to get way hotter than usual and stick. That wasn't quite the problem. It's that little crack in the case that goes all the way around that seems to be causing the grief. The whole transmission is broken free of the motor. Not good. :taz:
-
Cort, I hope ya got some sleep.
Sorta.

[/quote]
Here's a shot of the seat and harness. It would never pass full SCTA tech inspection, but the only thing required for the 130/150 class is that the seat...well, here's the whole thing:
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS:
A four- (4) point roll bar approved by a recognized Racing sanctioning organization must be installed in the vehicle; driver is responsible to provide objective evidence of approval. Integral Corvette-type roll bar is not acceptable.
The seat assembly must be adequately braced to prevent rearward collapse by a portion of the roll bar assembly.
The vehicle must have a 4 point or better seat belt restraint system (5 point is highly recommended) including arm restraints or an approved window net.
Drivers must wear a SFI 3.2A/1 or better rated fire suit including shoes and gloves and an approved neck collar.
The driver must wear a Snell 2005 (or later) approved, full-face helmet with full face shield.
Motorcycle riders must have full leathers either one piece or full 360 degree zip together, leather boots and gloves, and a Snell 2005 (or later) approved, full-face helmet with full face shield. All motorcycles must have a shut off lanyard teathered to the driver, steering damper, all loose parts removed, headlights/glass taped or removed, and OEM or better chainguard.
Tires must be V, W or Z rated street tires or acceptable racing tires with metal valve caps and metal valve stems.
Cars must have an adequate metal battery tie down.
Driver must have objective evidence of tire speed rating. No tires wider than 10" will be allowed, unless the tires are OEM to the vehicle.
(Narrow tires provide better traction and vehicle control on the Salt)
Dual throttle return springs are recommended.
A Driveshaft retention loop is required in the front 25% of each section of drive shaft on rear-wheel cars where adequate retention and control of a broken driveline is not assured by body/frame design.
That's for the 150 class. The stock seat is ok for the 130 class.

I'm considering (if the repairs are prohibitively costly) not racing it this year and installing a 5- or 6-speed manual trans (Tremec 3550 or T-56.)
I sure hope this is the end of the carnage. I don't need to find any more broken parts that have remained hidden and pop up at a very inconvenient moment...like maybe the motor mounts...the transmission mount was ripped in two. From what I've seen of them so far, they appear to be ok, but ya never know. I'll find out when I install the new Hooker long-tube headers.
One photo shows the broken trans beside an unbroken (but stock and pretty worn) one and the other just shows the break and how it just goes from one side to the other...the remainder is still bolted to the motor.
-
Ouch. Quite the break up.
-
As the old rock 'n roll song goes, "breaking up us hard to do." In my case (pun not intended...or maybe it was) it wasn't so hard to do, but a bitch to UNdo. I'm now leaning toward a Tremec 3550 5-speed overdrive transmission or as an absolutely "quick and dirty" solution, a TH350 automatic (for those not familiar, that's the transmission that was standard fare for just about every smallblock and I6 Chevy from 1969 to 1984) and an "airplane gear" rear end with a 2.42 or 2.73 ratio (I currently run a 3.73 gear.)
That would eliminate the need for overdrive, keep the driveshaft speed down and probably give me the top speed of around 160 that I'm looking for. I can buy a brand-new TH350 for $700, about the same price it would cost to swap the TH200-4R's good guts into the good case. And I can get a used rear end for $100-200. It might be enough to limp it into the 130 club. I dunno about the 150, tho.
Decisions, decisions.

Ronnie Spector looked forward to breakups, in anticipation of the, um, remedy. ;D
-
I know several other salt flats racers who do the same thing. Then there are those who try to build things the best they can and see what happens once it's on the salt. I seem to fall into the latter category, although we've sure had a lotta brainstorming sessions about how/what if/when questions.

28°C and sunny here in Antibes yesterday but rain today.
More rain tomorrow so expecting an unusual qualifying for the Monaco GP.
Sunday probably dry so it could be anyone's race - it will all depend on the leading grid positions tomorrow - in other words 'a complete lottery'..... ;)

This morning is dry, sunny and hot here in Antibes this morning but even though I'm only a few kilometres away from Monaco it could be raining there - such is our micro-climate here in the south. Anyway it's just under one and a half hours until Saturday morning practice so it won't be long until we find out the situation.
I'm certainly hoping we see yet another different team/driver winning on Sunday.
Go Sauber and Lotus!

Good news - it's sunny in Monaco!

Interesting session that ended a few minutes early after Maldonado hit the Armco in Casino Square.

I shot a car show this evening. I really enjoyed it. I "disciplined" myself to shoot only in RAW format and only do 2 "takes" of any given shot, unless a flash fill was necessary. I'm pleased with the results. Eventually they'll find their way to the website listed in my profile. Oh...there was a Target 550 update this morning, too:

So far, I've found this to be the case. A very nice group of gearheads.
I'm gonna have to limit my AP time since Speed Week on the salt flats starts in 2 weeks...and the 'season' runs through October. I'm really looking forward to it (and I hope I can get my car ready to race by September) but when all the dust and salt has settled, I'll be back for the winter.
In the mean time, I'm ready to pitch my power steering pump thru the window. I'm having more fun than one could possibly imagine trying to get the new brackets to fit.

Since I'm here and "gotta post", here's an image of the salt flats before things get going. I'm a coupla days early, but there's madness in my method. I can shoot the cars as they get set up in the pits and go thru tech inspection. Today it was a weather report...mid 90s (F) and 40-50 know winds. I think it's passed now....uhh...the wind...not the heat. I expect 100+ temps for the whole meet.
-
That second picture is simply beautiful! Not that the first is not, but the second just stands alone!
As for your method, I always find it interesting to have a look at the cars before the event if possible - all the media will have pics from the race in their reports, while your camera will store an atmosphere, small details, faces, moments - that's much more valuable IMO.

Just got back from the salt flats. Exhausted. 13 pages of unread stuff. Hmmm. Gonna take a long time to catch up.
Attached photo is a team that brought a brand new, untested car to the salt and as the builder was wringing it out and getting his licensing passes completed, he set a class record (254 mph on an old record of 246) and got himself into the 200 mph club. He's the happy camper in the red hat.

A tale of two Armstrong's.
For the past few days, there have been volumes of coverage of Lance Armstrong's ban from cycling (even though he passed every doping test administered, throughout his career).
Meanwhile, Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, passed away, after undergoing heart surgery. It was barely mentioned, before the news programs went back to gabbing about the bicycle rider. And, sadly, NBC's website ran the headline “Astronaut Neil Young, first man to walk on the moon, dies at age 82.” The mistake was taken down a few minutes later - but are Canadian rock stars that easy to confuse with an historical figure?
A retired naval aviator who served in Korea, a test pilot, an aeronautical engineer with a Masters degree from USC, the soft-spoken Armstrong lived a quiet life, teaching at the University of Cincinnati, after he made history in 1969.
RIP, Mr. Armstrong.
-
Unfortunately that's what happens in today's world - fixated on "so-called celebrities" and "being famous for five minutes" :(
RIP Neil Armstrong - you will remembered long after the Neil Youngs and Lance Armstrongs of the world.

I think there's yer "run of the mill" taste and then there's yer "gearhead" taste. Not always the same. Just consider the 1934 Desoto/Chrysler Airflow cars. I won't go so far as to say that they're the most gorgeous cars I've ever seen, but to me, they certainly aren't something hideous to run away from while screaming bloody murder, as me granny used to say. And the replacement models, particularly the Chryslers ARE hideous. And even those varied so much from year to year that...well, I ramble. But I like yer taste in avatar vehicles. I hope I can replace mine with a more successful photo in a month or so.

I saw a 1/43 scale model of a Ronnie Bucknum's 1965 Mexican GP Honda RA272 today and wanted to buy one, but when I asked for price, it was about 200 Euro! :o I suppose it was worth it, as the detalisation was nearly better than on an original full scale Honda. I just didn't want to spend so much money for a scale model actually... HPI that was, one of only 100 made.

I'm so frikkin glad that the election is over that I almost don't give a shit who won.
Besides. I got my own little private hell going on here (read: ex-wife, pension, mental illness & drugs {hers, not mine}) and all I wanna do is hide under my bed. But I'd have to clean there first and I'm not up for that. I talked to my lawyer today and there's a chance things will be over and done with in a couple of weeks. I sure hope so.
So...who won the election? Never mind. I'll add an old joke about apathy. Question: Which is worse? Ignorance or apathy? Answer: "I don't know, and I don't care." And maybe the insanity is mine, after all.

Thanks, Cort. Prayers, good vibes, +++++~~~~~~ comin yer way, too. Hope the health problems get rectified soon. Before we both know it, it'll be cruisin and racin season all over again. I dunno about you, but I gotta get the roll cage into the race car so I can run in the 150 Club. I'd hoped to become proficient enough to weld the damned thing in myself, but given current circumstances, I may not be able to do that. Still gonna try.
I did a little ignition work on the race car but don't really have a way to test it. I wonder if the cops would mind if I drove it 5 or so miles to a place that has a dyno? Yeahrightsure.
At the moment, I'm caught up in this divorce/pension deal and although papers have been served and a hearing date of 11/27 set, I'm sure there will be plenty of chicanery and obstruction going on before that happens.
I guess we both gotta keep goin and keep our fingers crossed. I'll email ya a coupla emails I got from Gayle. I think it's a good case for proving demonic possession. She's real sick...and back on booze and drugs again. It's really sad.

Since I'm here, I'll report that things seem to have come to a happy ending...for the moment at least. I was able to get my retirement pension and found that I could buy myself a retirement gift. Since I already had a watch (albeit not gold, but a nice watch anyway), I bought a Camaro. It's a 2010 SS/RS, 6.2l V8, 426hp, 6-speed manual trans, independent rear suspension and all the goodies including a sunroof. It only has 19k miles on it and it feels just like a brand new car.
I bought it in a little bit of a hurry, since I thought I was gonna have to make a quick dash to Portland, Or for Target 550 streamliner testing...like the first time it'll move under its own power. I wanna be there for that if I have to go in a motorized wheelchair! But the test has been delayed while a few modifications are taken care of (the multi-plate clutches are being modified a little) so the rush is off.
Anyway, I've only driven the Camaro about 50 miles, so I think I'll go burn up some gas...the price of which has dropped fairly significantly in the last couple of weeks. I might even turn off the traction control and see if I can "light 'em up" when nobody's looking. (http://www.target550.com/images/driving.gif)
-
Yee-ha! ;D
FWIW, I just picked up a lease on a Fiesta, also 6-speeds and a sunroof. No way to turn off the traction control, but I don't think there's enough grunt to light 'em up on anything but ice.

You can write about anything you want in this thread. It doesn't matter.
If you read it, however, you MUST post to it. No exceptions.
No! I won't post!

It lives. And so do I.
Mark it down.

Hi guys

Long time no see.
Good to hear from you. :)

Less is more, more or less.

The difference between theory and practice is much bigger in practice than in theory.

Hi guys
Hi Otto
Good to hear from you.
Busy life these days?
-
Actually, no, not very busy of late. . 2020 and 2021 were too busy, between being the primary caregiver to an ailing spouse, the covid lockdown, living without a car for a year due to financial constraints, and more.
That all changed when my beloved departed this earth this past spring, and now I have all the time in the world but I'm working to re-learn how to live alone and be comfortable living for my own sake. Do I tidy up the house and sell it, and live and roam in an RV? Or should I buy a cabin in the woods and go fishing every day? I can work from anywhere as long as I have connectivity. I've never seen the Grand Canyon, or Yellowstone, any many other places.
On a whim I attended a Model T driving school in July - that was fun, and got me out of the gloom of my empty house. Completely counterintuitive to how we operate cars today, but after stalling a couple of times early, I became smoother as the day progressed. I've also purchased a gun and have been going to target practice with a friend almost every week. I'm going to an annual (except for skipping a year due to covid) car show tomorrow that is within walking distance of my house.
Glad to see the place is still thriving - you've done great work!
How are all of you? I hope you are well.

Sorry about your loss. Very sad.
You could always waste spend a lot more of your spare time on AutoPuzzles!
I've been retired a few years now but I live with my daughter and her family, or more accurately they live with me, so with grandchildren to spend time with and ferry all over the place I'm pretty busy.
I don't spend much time on AP myself as I know nothing about the majority of today's puzzles; the cars I knew something about have all been puzzled long ago...
You need to visit some of the wonders of the USA whilst you have the chance. You lose the urge when you get too old.. I've been to the Grand Canyon and Yosemite, both of which are wonderful, but not to Yellowstone. Still some places in reserve to visit, maybe one day... If I ever have any money that is!

Time spend with kindred spirits is never wasted. :)
I will try to pop in more often, though I too find the current puzzles unfathomable. The puzzle masters here now are beyond belief.

Now and again we get a traditional puzzle car which brings the older members out of hiding!

Hi guys
Hi Otto,
glad you're still around!
I'm sorry for your loss!
Haven't solved a puzzle for ages. Still a visitor once a week or so.
