A guy (26 years old) I know, who operates a tobacco shop here, had a souped up rice burner with all of the goofy looking accoutrements.. He recently sold it because he bought a 1970 Dodge Charger I showed him online. He has seen the light. Alleluiah!

The key is to be a smart shopper. Use the internet to your advantage. The average person who searches for info with Google only looks at the first two pages of results. You'd be surprised at how many real bargains you'll find from Page 3 onward.

Charlie, can you PM me a few pieces of general info? 1. Can you tell me what your buddy's approximate location (like cross streets) is in Red Hook? 2. The same regarding your lady friend? From those two, I can give you more detailed directions on how to get from Point 1 to Point 2. Right off the bat, I can tell you that there are only two subway lines, which operate from the same stations in Red Hook (the G and F trains from Carroll Street and Smith-9th St., the F is the only one running to Midwood.) I'll also be able to give you some information on bars, restaurants, etc,

I hated when security stamped indelible ink on my forehead to validate me at clubs. A simple wristband would've sufficed.

Drag racing and the cars aren't popular with kids today as they were in the '60s and '70s. I went through the Hot Wheels site and there isn't one dragster/funny car listed.

Hmmm... I just read an article about Hempstead, N.Y. enacting a law five days ago which mandates that gas stations provide, and make access to, free air with pressure gauges.

There's a conspiracy theory thread for that one, Danno.

That's old hat around here. Crazy Eddie, a defunct electronics chain, did that back in 1985

That's another validation that car modelers are cheapskates.

$17.50 and it's pretty hefty. This is NYC. Everything is expensive. Even free air at the gas station costs a quarter. Panhandlers accept credit credit cards, using swipers on their phones. That begs the question, how is a bum able to afford an iCrap device?

Compared to there (Europe in general), we really have it good.

Stage Door on Vesey Street? Boy, you sure get around!

Cool. Good luck. There are some great hospitals and medical centers around here like Mt.Sinai, Memorial Sloan-Kettering. Montefiore Medical Center, NYU Langone, New York-Presbyterian University Hospital and Hackensack University Medical Center, to name a few.

There's nothing like well made chopped liver. On a side note, I made homemade potato pancakes and grilled kielbasa for dinner earlier.

So, you two were the inspiration for "Bridget Loves Bernie".

Start packing: Arista Air Conditioning Corporation depending on your training, you might qualify as a journeyman (full scale tech) making $40/hr. And, it's a union job (Metal Trades Division of Pipefitters Local 638B). If you're serious, check it out.

Higher price doesn't necessarily mean that higher quality will be part of the equation. There are a lot of expensive dogs on the shelves.

And, The Wild One

Motorcycle-related; but, cool nonetheless

Dragstrip Riot from 1958

I was just about to post the same clip.

Rich, do you make pilgrimages back to the city?
