  1. I’m building the Revell Muscle Machines ‘66 Mustang Shelby GT350H. My question is the sheen black insert part on their Chrome Magnum 500 rims. Are they usually flat black, semi gloss black or satin black?
  2. I don’t understand the hype of the PS5. I get it that it’s better than it’s previous PlayStation platform and will play most older games. Heck, it’s even the newest XBox console. But you have to ask yourself.... is it really worth the hype? No. Read this... https://www.oratoryprepomega.org/2021/01/29/ps5-is-it-worth-the-hype/
  3. Another Seinfeld alum, Liz Sheridan who played Seinfeld's mother on the show. She was 93. Liz Sheridan, who played Seinfeld's mother on hit show, dead at 93 (msn.com)
  4. Here's a trick I learned quick on how to deal with these robo telemarketer calls - especially if you have caller ID. Answer it but.... DO NOT utter a word. Most of the time they're voice activated once you answer and say "hello". If you remain silent, they won't start the conversation. Hang up after a couple seconds if no one responds.
  5. Just heard the news of his passing. Sad. Annoying but funny...
  6. Today’s kids sure know how to ruin a perfectly nice car.
  7. Not today but last night durign my brother-in-law's brother's wake at a local funeral home. My bro-in-law's brother has passed away Tuesday of cancer and he was a member of the 315 Street Machines Auto Club. The deceased owned a beautiful 1973 Plymouth duster. Anyhow, while I was waiting outside for my wife to come out, 4 muscle cars pulled in the funeral home parking lot; the lead car - a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS gunned his engine at the entrance announcing their arrival to honor and pay respects to the deceased. He was followed by a 1965 Chevy Nova, 1955 Chevy Bel Air, 1967 Chevelle SS, and a 1969 Chevelle SS. Not a moment later more arrived - a 1980 Chevy Camaro, 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS and an incredibly rare 1969 Yenko Chevy Nova SS - my first sighting. All were members of the 315 Street Machines Auto Club. I will post pics later if I can upload it from my phone. The Yenko was parked next to my car. I was touched by the gesture, yet disappointed that my wife, my sis-in-law and her daughter wasn't out to witness this great procession in Dennis Burdick's honor. The rumble of these muscle cars is something I will never, ever forget. Each driver all went in to pay their final respect to one of their own. World class showing from a classy muscle car auto club. I don't know if any other muscle cars from the 315 showed up or not but wondered if any had.
  8. I shop at Walmart mostly for grocery items. Heck, most of the time I end up getting half of what I need. The rest of my groceries are bought at 3 other supermarkets in my area. There is one rule everyone should follow when shopping at Walmart.... NEVER buy anything in electronic department. Not even laptops or PCs. They’re all junk and have poor specs. I cringe when folks buy laptops at Walmart thinking they’re getting a great deal. They’re not.
  9. So... finding a great deal on model kit makes one a cheapskake? ROFL!!! Go right on ahead paying full price on model kits. I'll take any model kit a lesser price than your LHS or online store. Let me know how that works out for ya paying full price while the rest of us are getting a great price at Walmart. It's funny, I went to Walmart for my weekly grocery shopping and wondered if they had new stock. None yet at my local Walmart.
  10. Looks like a full size Subaru Brat - both the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. I saw one on the lot at my local Hyundai dealership couple months back. Talk about fugly...
  11. Complicated? LOL! Try dock workers simply quit at the docks on both coasts. They're on those cargo ships waiting to be unloaded.
  12. I remember that episode. ROFL!
  13. Saw this in my local Craigslist. Had I not bought a new car this past February, I would have jumped on it. https://utica.craigslist.org/cto/d/rome-1972-dodge-dart-swinger-v8-low/7460594712.html
  14. This was in the news tonight... https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/ford-mustang-and-chevrolet-camaro-production-suspended/ar-AAVPDQX?li=BBnb7Kz Shortage of semi conductors. Yeah right... they’re on the ships at port on both coasts.
  15. C.W.McCall of "Convoy", Country singer has died. He was 93. C.W. McCall, ‘Convoy’ Country Singer, Dead at 93 (msn.com) CONVOY 01 CW McCall - Convoy ORIGINAL VERSION - YouTube
  16. Pfffttt... Ford already ruined the Mustang by making them SUvs. My sister saw one down in Maryland. She asked if I've seen one and told her I saw pics of them. I also told her they're fugly and never should be SUVs. She thought they were cool looking. Whatevs.... LOL!!
  17. No cut off on amount of gas in any station in NYS. It’s not like there’s a gas shortage like back in the 70s...?
  18. Basically, it’s not moving anywhere. Mostly likely they’ve been scanned 4 times at holding center. At least that’s what it looked like to me. I could be wrong though.
  19. Same here....
  20. Nope. Not “Columbia’s Sugar” Prescription drug overdose. The rest of the tour cancelled.
  21. A couple areas outside my county - $4.09/ gallon compared to $4.19/gallon at BJs gas station.
  22. Two days after 1 year?!? 2 weeks after 10 years!? Who are you working for? What a bunch of cheap.... If I were you, I’d quit and find employment somewhere else ASAP where they appreciate your loyalty working. I’ve always gotten 2 weeks every year and carried over weeks I haven’t used. After 32 years, I still carry a maximum of 4 weeks a year each year for the last 20 years working at my place of employment. Whoever you’re employed with sounds like a bunch of idiots thinking they can pull this stunt on their employees. Time to find greener pastures and tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine.
  23. Don’t believe Best Buy and their policy that you must buy into their so-called Total Tech Membership in order for you to purchase a PS5 online. It’s a commission ploy. It’s kinda like buying an extended warranty that you don’t need on a new car at a auto dealership. I stopped shopping at Best Buy years ago because I got tired of listening to their sales pitch on Total Tech Membership. The last time they started with me, I told them..... well, you fill in the blanks.
