MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Elmer was the bull behind the glue.
  2. Hanging from an old oak tree for cattle rustling isn't the way I want to end my days.
  3. Threshold avoidance is probably wise when one is walking along the top of an undercut cliff.
  4. Wear your heart on your sleeve and somebody's sure to try to bruise it just for sport.
  5. Dry wine and martinis and beverages in general usually appeal more to my taste than the sweet stuff some prefer.
  6. Absolutely correct, but a very large percentage of web users accept the first thing Google vomits up as gospel, or whatever is repeated most often on social or other media.
  7. I owned a '69 Italia Spyder for a very short time. Powered by a Ford 302 and covered in awful white paint to hide a fair bit of rust, it was stolen from a closed gas station I'd rented to store some cars short-term while I moved my shop....Sports Car Engineering...from an industrial area close to Ga.Tech up to the ritzy Buckhead suburb. Uninsured theft, and I always kinda thought the guy I got it from was the one who stole it, as he was, let's just say, a little on the shady side. Most people, even "car guys", had no clue what it was, with some thinking it was a Corvette, the rest thinking it was a Ferrari. (not my car...AFAIK ) The lines of the Italia were what inspired me to build what was, at the time, the world's only 240Z convertible...which disappeared from a "friends" property while he was in the midst of a nasty divorce; another uninsured loss. EDIT: I honestly think the Italia was the most beautiful of all the limited-production Italian semi-exotics.
  8. Girl Scout cookies can be purchased online.
  9. Query, query little star, how I wonder what you bees.
  10. "Gone but not forgotten" is what all those folks I owe millions to will say 'bout me when I'm pushing up daisies.
  11. "Perfected" is something the self-driving-car mavens thought they would have achieved some time ago, but it turned out to be one whole jelluva lot harder than most folks thought, even engineers who should have known better
  12. Just in case you (or anybody else) missed it, Randy Ditton has done something similar on his Birdcage Maser build...
  13. Privileges are often assumed that simply don't exist, along with other ridiculous ideas, like believing all business-owners have boxcar-loads of cash sitting around.
