i saw a transformer today. judging by the amount of aero, im guessing it turns into a fighter jet...

it came with my motor trend on demand subscription renewal

iv been listening to a lot of 80's pop music lately. stuff like Tiffany, Samantha Fox, Fiona, Belinda Carlisle, etc. and was listening to some old school Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson this morning. i may also have some Emily Osment tracks on my IPod.... also have some Katy Perry... and P!nk... and i still listen to Ace of Base's The Sign CD on occasion... maybe a couple Britney Spears songs...

my newest finished resto.

amazon delivery or tracking im to disgruntled to care anymore. got an email that said my package was out for delivery at a quarter after 8 this morning. nothing until 2pm when tracking finally kicked and i could expect delivery between 2 and 4pm. and at 10 to 4 i was the next stop according to tracking and the truck was literally around the corner. 10 after 4 and the driver had a few more delivery's before me but the truck was being shown on the next main street over, literally 2000 feet away. 4:30 the stupid truck hadn't moved in 20 minutes. 4:40 and i was the next delivery. 5pm and there were a few more delivery's before me. 5:20 and the truck hadn't moved in 20 minutes but the driver had a few more delivery's before me. 5:45 and i get an email stating they "ran into an issue with when attempting my delivery and they would try again tomorrow." now i know for a fact they never showed up here. for starters we have a doorbell, and to compound the doorbell we have the boss's dog who likes to bark when someone comes to the door. so instead of leaving work at 4, i left royally ticked off at 10 to 6 with my afternoon plans ruined and my evenings plans disrupted. so instead of BBQing turkey burgers im eating a tuna sandwich.

over the weekend someone attempted to steal the tailgate off my truck. thanks to a bolt on lock i installed a couple years ago they failed. thieving jerks failing, i am most pleased.

nope, at a warehouse in Cypress, CA.

yeap, Toprank International Vehicle Imports. they do importing and sales. i drive past it on my way home from work sometimes. it's nothing to see several Skylines, a Supra, RX7's, maybe even an NSX sitting out there. even saw a Suzuki Cappuccino one day which i thought was amusing. here's there website https://www.importavehicle.com/

a JDM situation. pretty soon there will be more Skylines in the US than in Japan.

neat thread. sense i seem to be a wee bit younger than some here, this won't be as interesting. this is my 71 Super Beetle maybe a month after i got it back in 1999. the other is of the same car rebuilt in about 2006 parked in front of my next door neighbors 50 or 51 i can't remember Studebaker. i took it in black and white trying to make it look like an old pic.

if you don't like the taste of rice allow me to offer a palate cleanser.

i knew somebody in my neighborhood raced off road. now i know who! https://www.instagram.com/jbuck_motorsports

54/55 Studebaker pick up. nice looking, light blue with white grill/front. looked bone stock. and had a for sale sign in the back window. couldn't catch up to it to get the details. edit: and i saw it on a street called Studebaker!

Packard

today was long roof day. spotted a 56 Chevy Nomad, and a i think 55(?) ford delivery. the Nomad was clean. the ford was in primer and looked ruff but was at least running and driving.

saw the funky green Z again. also saw a blue (believe it was a) 64 El Camino. but thanks to a soccer mom in an SUV i couldn't get a pic of that one.

nice! some family friends used to have a pontoon boat. think it was a 20 footer. made a great fishing boat. little more room to move around, you could kick back and take a break. and the added benefit is you can take more people out with ya, needless to say you're going to have a lot of friends now

yesterdays sightings

in my search for "obscure" 90's alternative rock picked up the Nymphs self titled CD and have been listening to that. i dig it, it's pretty good!

that's a flashback to high school ? it's right up there with Closing Time by Semisonic and Butterfly by Crazy Town. those songs were inescapable in 1998. (not a complaint)

saw a huge wing with a Miata bolted to it
