  1. Here's one of my top picks. The Blue Mule from 1975's "White Line Fever"
  2. In my final year in the Navy in Washington State back in 1988, I saw this commercial of Cal Worthington on TV who operated a Ford dealer on Federal Way in Seattle. From what I was told then, he was successful in Southern California for years with similar commercials. Would any West Coast members of the forum remember him?
  3. The Joe Isuzu commercials from the 1980s.
  4. Gator McClusky's 1971 Ford Custom 500 from 1973's "White Lighting"
  5. Here's another from Counting Cars
  6. Nice work Alan. You nailed the rear axle of the Ford police cruiser getting ripped out from underneath it. One of the classic scenes from the movie.
  7. Not me.
  8. And as a school bus driver, this would be my bus of choice to get the kids home on Friday afternoons.
  9. In my all time favorite American muscle car below of course.
  10. I just won an E Bay auction for a good used one piece bumper and grill assembly for a 57 Pontiac promo. Here it is.
  11. Things have been running more smoothly at my end since the changeover. Thank you for all you've done Dave.
  12. Congrats on the birth of your grandson.
  13. In the middle of my time off for the Christmas holiday, the general manager of my school bus company sent out a text message to all drivers including me reminding us that all schools we service resume on the second. We all knew that before hand.
  14. I hope everybody had a great Christmas with family, relatives and friends. I spent mine at my cousin's place. 15 people were there.
  15. I've been binge watching "Counting Cars" from the History Channel on YouTube since yesterday. Also, this month marks the start of year six since I pulled the cable plug.
  16. I've been going coo coo over hot cocoa all throughout this cold weekend in Beantown.
  17. It's 10 degrees out this morning and the property owner is on site to make sure the heating system in my building is working properly which it is. I do have my space heater and between both, I'm fine.
  18. The extra money I made at work last month was burning a hole in my pocket so I picked these two models up on E Bay last week as they were. The Volvo is the first import to my collection and I had to have the Galaxie Army car. Both went for reasonable prices and were very well done to boot.
  19. The peace and quiet at home is what I find so pleasing right now. However, that'll all change when I resume transporting the little monsters in the school bus on Monday. However, my boss pays me enough. 🙂
  20. I haven't been around for much of the month thanks to my job. School runs, sports charters and field trips have kept both my school bus and I busy. Thankfully, it all ended last week. I'm beat but my bank account has gotten a whole lot fatter.
  21. A Happy Thanksgiving to all from the state that started it all.
  22. I'm not sure if I'm irked about this or not but last Friday, my mechanic checked my trusty Accord for a major power steering leak and couldn't find the source. He filled the power steering reservoir and told me to keep an eye on it. Since. then, the reservoir stayed full and I park the car in different spots at work and at home to check for the leak but not a drop was found on the ground. It's a quirky little car.
  23. I unsubscribed from some automotive channels that I've been watching for a longtime on YouTube when the owners switched their narration to AI. The sound of the AI voices was irritating.
