I’ve got to add a few horrible remakes.The first being [The Out Of Towners].Then there’s [The In Laws],as well as remake of [The Taking of Pelham 123].And i have to say that all three of these movies were GREAT movies,and never should have been remade.And I gotta go along with Snake on this one,[Assault on Pct 13],was also a pretty bad remake,sorry..I also think the remake of Papillon was pretty lousy too,not horrible,but still pretty crappy..I just hope that if Spielberg is going to do a remake of Bullitt,that there are no dinosaurs (T-Rex)in the film,lol.

Lol,thanks man,ah,i just miss my cats.i guess.I Never thought i would say that.It’s weird,growing up,i could never have a cat because my mother had a extreme phobia against cats.No one knew why,including her.

Ok I agree Bullitt was a little bit slow,but still a great flick.Anything with McQueen was great,up to his last film,The Hunter,[1980],where he plays of all things, a bounty hunter.Which was sort of a black comedy,if you haven’t seen it yet.And oddly enough, IMO,it too had a great chase scene,first beginning on foot,and then ending with a minor car chase,all while he’s chasing a felony bounty jumper..And for someone like me,who just loves a great car chase,The 7Ups,The French Connection,or even The Driver,(Ryan O’Neil),the chase scene in Bullitt was epic.So Spielberg better get it right.Idk I guess we will just have to wait and see.No matter what,it really sucks that we lost Steve McQueen at such a young age of 50,as he was exposed to asbestos while serving in the United States Marine Corps in the late 40s.Who knows how many other great movies he would have made.Although I do have to say that I feel that Steve McQueen’s best movie was Papillon,[1973],alongside Dustin Hoffman..

Well my ex gf and i had four cats.The first one we called Mommy Girl.I never really liked cats too much.She became my cat after a friend of mine came to NY from Florida for a visit,and look for a new job..She wound up staying in my apartment with her cat.The cat was a Calico who was original name was Rory,from i think a character on the Gilmore girls..IDK.However my friend was killed in a car accident when she was hit head on by a drunk driver..Anyway,I guess i sort of adopted Rory.I never had a cat for a pet,just reptiles,like my Iguana which,of course I named Iggy.Ok,jump ahead about three years,and I got a new job,where i met my ex gf.We decided we would get a house together to rent.And certainly Rory moved in with us.Rory was the sweetest cat i’ve ever seen,never hissed at anyone,scratched or anything.We then got another cat from a shelter..I always thought it would be cool to have a black cat.So i adopted a short haired jet black kitten i named Cole.Once Cole was old enough,he and Rory had two kittens,one still born,and another short haired black kitten,that my ex named Casey.She was a runt,and even fully grown,she looked like a kitten.Ok now we had a little cat family.A few years later ,myself,my ex,and my feline family,although small,all moved again.Shortly after Casey was born,i had Cole fixed.Again,jump ahead a bunch of years,my ex and i took in another stray black kitten.They took a little while to get use to each other,but then they were fine.Then my ex and i split up.I took Rory,aka Mommy girl,Cole,and Casey,and she took the stray.However a couple of years later,Cole died suddenly, and to this day,i don’t know why he died so young.I buried him in my parents back yard.He was only about 7,or 8 years old.Then sometime later,Rory got cancer,and i eventually had to put her down.Also very upsetting.Although she was about 18,or 19 years old,so she lived a long happy life.I had her cremated and have an urn with her ashes on my shelf.And then once more,heartbreaking news,Casey got lung cancer,so i had to put her down,and had her cremated.I don’t have any pictures of Cole or Casey,at least none that i can find.Rory was the only one i had pictures of.Although Cole looked a lot like Brian’s cat(above),Blackie,and Casey looked like a miniature version of Cole..Wow,sorry for the LONG story.They were all just great cats,and as sappy as it sounds,to this day,I still miss them all..RIP guys.

Yea that was pretty tragic.I heard about it on the news first.Condolences to the families of the deceased people involved.Thankfully no one on the ground was injured or killed.?

Hey Jerry,nice pic.

Found these pics of some race bikes i had.Yea there diecast,but i added some detailing.

Oh man,again I forgot about a song.Your absolutely right Bogger,Simple Man is such a great song…And it’s too bad we lost Neil Peart so young.And obviously after his very untimely death,that was the end of Rush.☹️RIP Neil.?Another great song not listed is Iron Butterfly’s “In a gadda da vida,”.

Mmmm,yummy Thanksgiving meal.But it’s really easy to prepare,if you don’t want to carve the turkey.?

I should add that the picture of the torn apart dashboard was actually a picture i took when the heater core was being fixed on my Jeep Cherokee.??

So the other day I was going through my phone and found even some more of my drag racing builds over the past couple of years,along with some real cars that influenced the builds.However, I must admit that the orange and tan Mustang,were not built by me,but rather they were seen and admired at a local model contest a few years ago.IMO,the orange Mustang might be one of the best drag racing models I’ve ever seen.?Hope you like the pics. Thanks.

Oh man,I knew i’d find out where that squeaking noise in my dashboard was coming from.

Oh how nice these Special edition Mark 7s were.

Pretty cool.

Deleted,nevermind.I’ll probably get booted off of here for posting what i was going to post.

Oh what do i wanna build today, decisions,decisions.

Yea but that Matt & Debbie Hays kit was a great find.$20 bucks,and it was sealed.It was at the end of the show,the best time to go through the swap meet.Most of these guys don’t want to pack all their stuff up,and lug it home.He was asking for $40,i made him an offer of $20 as a joke,and he went for it.I was shocked.

Oh yes,excellent song,Deep Purple’s Highway Star.And Anything from Rush is also great.But for me,it’s gotta be Subdivisions.

Sorry to hear that,my mother passed away back 2015 from breast cancer.Your sister certainly sounds like she was a strong woman.May she RIP.?

Yea i’ve always been a big fan of his.I do hope he will be ok.But yes burns are never easy to heal from.Especially at his age.??

So I heard yesterday that Jay Leno had a little mishap in his shop with some gasoline,and suffered some pretty serious burns.I think he’s ok,but he was taken to the hospital.It said that a gasoline fire erupted in his shop while working on a car.But he said he was ok and was in stable condition.Hopefully he will be fine.

Mike i can’t make out what kind of car that is.I think it’s a Ford Galaxy,early 70s maybe?Or perhaps a Pontiac or Olds?

Oh yea great songs.And how about Into the Void,which I believe was on their Master of Reality album?

Yea seriously,some really nice rides.The classic funny car and that Torino GT,i believe is a 70,but i’m not positive ,were really nice.

That would be Kill Bill 2
