  1. I saw this rare,and somewhat similar Dodge PU at a show last week.
  2. So I think it’s worth mentioning that Dickey Betts,80, the longtime guitarist from the Allman Brothers Band has died after some health issues,(cancer) this according to his family.RIP Dickey Betts.I saw them twice in concert,they were great.??
  3. So this is far as I have gotten on the Nova.
  4. Cool looking so far.Any new pics?
  5. Yea,there would’ve been more cars,but about an hour or so after I got there,it started to drizzle.?Omg,a little drizzle.All of a sudden,a bunch of cars just took off.And a bunch of vendors started packing up.And It was only around 10 am.I mean I understand,guys don’t want any rain water on their cars,but some of them flew out and left,the second a drop fell.But about 15 mins later,the sun came out,and it was gorgeous out.Oh well.And these guys paid $20 to be in the show,and get judged.?
  6. Oh trust me,I went “Karen”?so to speak,on them.No,just never gonna step one foot in another Target again.?And I thought Walmart sucked.
  7. Three words…”Brown paper bags”.?I go into my friendly,over priced Target yesterday.I bought some groceries.I usually don’t go food shopping at Target,but I had to get a couple of other things.Anyway,I normally bring my own plastic bags,but this time I forgot them.So I go to check out,& walk to my car,holding the bags from the bottom.But it didn’t matter,as soon as I stepped out side,all hell broke loose,and the bags ripped to shreds,pouring my food all over the place,including some glass jars that broke..I go back into the store to let them know.They told me there’s nothing they could do,and that I shouldn’t have filled the bags so much.I told them I didn’t over fill them,and that I held them from the bottom..But nope,they refused to replace the glass items,which added up to about $60..I definitely won’t be going to Target any time soon.Oh and they charged me for the bags as well.
  8. Get another one,there’s millions out there.Just watch the idle hours.Cops usually don’t turn their cars off too much,unless they’re running in to D,nD.Lol…If the idle hours are above say 9,10,K,move on,and look for another one.Mine was a detectives/Feds car,so the hours were pretty low when i bought it.
  9. Picked up this 1/18th scale un marked Crown Vic at a car show yesterday for $10.Couldn't pass it up.
  10. I have two sets of head lights,&/side markers.And two sets of tail lights.Two are tinted,and two are regular lights.I switched the headlights back to stock since i couldn’t see too well at night?‍?.But the tinted ones do look pretty cool,especially on a black car.
  11. Long Island Cars car club has been holding shows at a facility called Flowerfield,for as long as I remember.Its sort of half commercial,small shops,(auto restoration shops,,etc),& a sort of wild life preserve..Its several acres of open fields,surrounded by woods.Probably make a great golf course.There's rumors that a lot of WW2,and Coldwar experiments went on here back in the day.And that there are possibly underground tunnels throughout the grounds.Anyway,whatever,who cares.There were some really nice rides.Next show is in a few weeks.Enjoy
  12. Yea,I have carpeting too,and I’m sure it’s much easier to clean with rubber mats/floor covering.I do have cruise control,but i don’t think I’ve ever used it.The CVs are great cars.Built Ford tough,as they say.??I picked up this white 1/18th scale CV yesterday at a car show/swap meet,for $5.
  13. This Nova and Mustang were insane.I overheard someone say that the Mustang had over 1,500 hp,running 8s,but who knows.?‍♂️
  14. Cool,not sure if you knew,but LI Cars is holding their Flowerfield car show,in St James today.Im out the door now,slept a little late,but what else is new?‍♂️?Hope to take a bunch of pics.Should be really crowded.
  15. Those are some strange looking things.Cool,but strange.
  16. Yea,it can get real hot down there.What year Mustang do you have,or do you have a picture?Maybe if I happen to see ya,I’ll come over to say hi.
  17. I like the CV.I have an 09 ex Fed P71.Gotta be one of the funnest cars I’ve ever owned.
  18. Yup,no problem.I did get a quick chance to ask him for the hell of it,if it was for sale.He just looked at me,smiled,rolled his eyes,and drove away..Arrrggg.
  19. Sorry I didn’t mean to take attention away from your Cutlass.Very nice car.I know a guy with one.Hes had it since he bought it brand new in his senior year of HS.The car has really low miles,and is pretty much showroom condition.And he has done a lot of work to his motor.
  20. Just this other one.Yea,that thing was so nice.The guy had to leave in a hurry.Otherwise I would’ve taken more pics.
  21. First night was this past Tuesday.And it was packed.Its a weekly cruise night that begins this past week,through late Oct.Put on by Long Island Needs a Dragstrip.All volunteers at a church that just happens to have the perfect parking lot for a show.And they actually were able to bring drag racing back to LI.Its an 1/8th mile,track on a concrete runway,There’s no traction,but it’s still drag racing..Once the summer hits,there’s weeks where about a 1000 or so cars come down to the cruise night.Father Henry allows the show to go on,as long as there’s no street racing,burnouts,drugs,alcohol,etc.Hey it’s a church.
