  1. yes it does dilute the name. it looses the exclusivity factor and with high end brands, that matters. a lot. as for the mustang 2. at least that pinto based junker was a 2 door rear wheel drive coupe. true to form at least.
  2. ? Blink 182 - I Won't Be Home For Xmas Greenbrier Lane - Christmas Time In The 909 The Shout - Mullet Christmas Less Than Jake - Im Getting Nothing For Christmas The Dan Band - Rock You Hard This Christmas Cory Taylor - X-M@$
  3. been listening to Heatmiser's Dead Air album today (actually have the CD). if you're into obscure early 90's alternative rock, or maybe more accurately early 90's college rock radio, it's pretty good. track 6, Blackout, is particularly good.
  4. parked next to this while running errands after work today. one of the strangest things iv ever seen, this old dude, had to be well into his 70's and showing it, was driving it. he got out, walked away, grabbed a shopping cart in the parking lot and headed in the direction of the grocery store. i was heading elsewhere. as i was walking back to my truck probably 10 minutes later i could hear and smell that he left it there running while he went shopping! im thinking, dude come on. if you're not going to take better care of it, sell it to me

  6. orange C8 Vette. ...at a body shop... although it was ether on its way out or was just visiting, didn't see any damage.
  7. 2004 - 2006 Ford GT. it was red. first time i think iv ever seen one.
  8. saw a, not sure if it was a 58 or 59 Chevy pickup this morning.
  9. i unfortunately don't have any "before" pic's. but this was a quick clean up i did last year. it went from 2 bad paint jobs, one over the other, and i think the first one was done with a brush, a slight over use of glue, a poorly made intake manifold, some miss aligned front end pieces, and a missing scoop, to this. i stripped it down bare and started over. ...probably should have replaced the tires...
  10. saw this on my way to work this morning
  11. peoples inability to suitably operate a motor vehicle was particularly infuriating today. as well as there inability to navigate.
  12. 55 Chevy, very clean. dark silver and red. didn't care for his selection of big chrome wheels but to each his own i guess.
  13. saw a new bronco sport. it was blue. VERY underwhelming. total soccer mom vehicle, and not so oddly enough, there was a women, about age 40, driving.
  14. huh, so that's what they're called. yes, that's what i saw.
  15. im having one of those drop everything in the floor kinda days today. pretty sure i could drop something in zero gravity right now. and do to a few things iv dropped, my temper is flaring pretty good.
  16. saw something i haven't seen in probably 30 years. a late 80's "4 door bronco" (if i remember right they're actually coach built or conversions by a privet company or something along those lines). it was white, looked pretty mint, but thanks to a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH hippy chick in a small jeep SUV who was more concerned with playing with her hair than driving, i failed to get a pic.
  17. along that same line...
  18. on my way home from work today, saw a 67 Chevelle convertible with Super Sport badges, no idea if it was legit or not. but it looked clean. an unknown year Corvair convertible. and a primered ether 55 or 56 ford delivery. it was running and driving but obviously a project.
  19. the Sunday portion of the air show got cancelled do to an oil spill. but i still got buzzed by the Canadian Snowbirds this morning. im assuming they were leaving Los Alamitos. so i think my jet spotting is over until next year. wasn't expecting to see that today.
  20. traffic had it's head further up it's butt than normal this morning. and it was blue sky's and sunny all day, temps in the mid 80's with low humidity. then 3 o'clock rolled around and cooled down a maybe 5 degrees and the humidity climbed, and the doom and gloom set in. then driving home traffic was still more clueless and ass dragging than normal, but they were also freaked out by spots of heavy wind, and lightning literally 5+ miles away. see lighting, swerve a bit, and slow down. it wasn't even raining yet (I’m astonished)! now there's a thunder storm rolling through, got lots of lightning and thunder (not irked by that. i like rain and lightning and thunder don't bother me) this is some weird weather for Southern California.
  21. coming home from work i pass a place called EDO Performance, it was ether Wednesday or Thursday there was a pink Nissan GTR in there. looked like they may have been doing a photo shoot or something with it. then yesterday leaving the bank there was a rather ratty late 40's/early50's Chevy truck driving through the parking lot. kind of a "rat rod" if you will. based on ride height it may have been bagged. had some logo on the door i couldn't read, didn't get a super good look at it.
  22. semi frequently we get Chinook's flying nice and low right over us at work. you get a formation of 3 to 5 of those and that's when the building starts to shake. we used to be right across Katella ave. from the base and a few times they must have been doing paratrooper training or something cause they were jumping out the back of the Chinook's. it was pretty cool. we got that and the occasional C17, C5, and C130 coming and going. the C17's and C5's were something to see! anyway i took my camera today, so naturally they didn't fly as much. i need to invest in a new camera... but the pic's came out better than the previous pic's taken with my phone.
  23. they circle where i work when they come in to land. so yeah, they're low! had a formation of 4 Blue Angels go by today, can't say the warehouse was shaking, but things in the warehouse were vibrating. outside car alarms were going off. it was pretty cool!
  24. didn't go all the way through this thread, so idk if it was posted. Bad Wolves covering The Cranberry's song Zombie
