Glad to see John is doing much better. Thanks Mike.

It's been a while since I got anything on E Bay so I can lower the balance on the plastic to a manageable level and got this 1965 Ford Galaxie to add to my promo fleet with it. It came in on Friday and cleaned it up when I got home from work. It came out great. Here it is on E Bay just as I bought it.

A lady friend who doesn't have a car was itching to go to the flea market in Salem NH today so I said no problem. Besides, the weather was sunny and low 70s all weekend. Perfect for a cruise and to get out of the house.

It’s been over 30 years since I’ve driven a RWD car on snow. I recall using snow tires and bags of concrete mix in the trunk and got around pretty well. In snowy climates since then I’ve always had 4WD SUVs w/ all season tires and no problems. I have a 4WD SUV and an AWD sedan now, my vintage RWD cars sit in the garage. But working out of my house, I have the luxury of not going out when the weather is nasty (I really, really dislike ice and fog).
Same here The last rear wheel drive car I owned was an 86 Olds Cutlass Supreme and I constantly got stuck in snow with it. My current car a 97 Accord and the car it replaced a 98 Olds 88 were the best front wheel drive cars I had. Both would power their way through snow.

Since the three cars that ran the stop sign on my school bus and were pinched by the cops a few weeks back, I've been binge watching videos on YouTube showing the Karma cops in action. I'm pausing that to give a couple of my vintage model cars some attention.

What year is your honda? I've seen common rust out on the front subframe, passenger's side by the control arm mount and the body mount here in the northeast. Gotta love salt.
It's a 1997 but it has no major rust issues. At my request, my mechanic inspected the car's entire bottom while it was on the lift for some exhaust work awhile back and said it's solid.

Very nice build Steve. The blue paint is as smooth as glass.

My trusty Accord started to have a steering issue that I can only describe as "Squirrely" On the advice of my mechanic, I can't drive it on the highway until he can take a closer at the car at his shop on Tuesday. That means I won't be able to attend the Classic Plastic model car show and contest in Lawrence Mass. on Sunday. I'm bummed over it but as a school bus driver, "Safety" is my middle name.

A vintage Ford Cortina from the 60s would do fine for me.

Porsches are meant to be handling cars, not drag racers...........
I'm 100% with you on that.

Those who steal the ideas and work of other's like yours Walid do so out of greed so as to make a few bucks for themselves. Greed doesn't fly with me as well as others.

I was doing my morning school run as always and while picking up the kids, three cars drove by the stop sign that was out. However, the second car in the opposing lane was a local undercover cop car and two officers in it somehow saw what was happening and took action. The cop driving pulled out the cruiser with the lights on to block the three cars and the other cop got out and ordered them to the side of the road. I beeped at them to thank them and they waved back. Seeing the Karma cops on duty made my day.

We identified a problem with the database and fixed it. Things are running a lot better now. Hopefully, this was the root problem, and we won't have any more problems for a while. Let me know if we get sluggish again.
Thank you for everything you've done Dave. Logging in and out now is as smooth as silk.

This maybe unrelated but I've been getting "Error. Try Again Later" all day before I was able to log in. Has anybody been having the same trouble?

My trusty Accord needed a bath so I employed a company perk which is having the use of a bay in the garage to vacuum the interior and wash the exterior of the car. It saved me $35 to $40 at the local car wash. I got permission from our GM who's cool as anything. As long as one asks him politely, he'll glad make sure that one receives.

A great actor. He provided Darth Vader's iconic voice. He starred in films such as "The Hunt For Red October" from 1991 and "Conan" from 1982.
RIP Mr. Jones.

Stupidity and greed go hand and hand.

I'm hoping one of the vendors has one model that I've been looking for which is a built MPC 1974 Chevrolet Caprice 2 Dr. I had one but I sold it off as part of a batch of nicely built cars back around 2014 when I was in a bit of a cash crunch. I've been kicking myself in the hiney since. Should have kept it.

BB is an absolute beast. It was in the right place and the right time when it was asked to push a disabled train. Between it and BB's own cars, it got the job done. In the first minute of the video, as one on BB's crew members sets up the couple in front of it, we can get see how big it is. And a little fact, there's a locomotive that many though as a helper locomotive for BB when it's job is to only provide power to the cars that are being pulled. BB is the one putting in all of the work.

A short week for the school kids and I'm happy as well. One more day and it's the weekend off. And the boss man will be paying the drivers holiday pay for Labor Day.

It's scheduled for October 6th at The Elks Lodge In Lawrence Mass. I'll be there and hopefully I get to meet a member or two of the forum.
That time of year....
