  1. Nice, I looked at that printed body also, but it wasn't exactly like the '57 Premiere that my dad once owned that I would like to replicate.
  2. This could turn out to become a "My First Car Topic" 😂 My first car was a '79 Honda Civic, white with a brown vinyl top, I bought from my dad for $1,500. If I remember correctly, it had 30,000 miles on it. My dad was one to always trade a car off when it hit 50,000 miles. He coaxed me into selling it to a friend of his when it hit 50,000 miles. That guy drove it till it had 300,000 miles and only did routine maintenance and replaced the clutch once.
  3. Theater of pain was an album by Mötley Crüe released in 1985 which had SMOKIN' IN THE BOYS ROOM as a track.
  4. Weren't them some smokey filled rooms with Zeppelin LP's blaring, at least that's what I think I remember.
  5. Bong, yeah I remember those.
  6. Wow Allen, that's one cool vehicle to have as a first..
  7. Trouble with those mouths they sometimes don't know when to shut unless someone else intervenes with a punch, and I'm talking Hawaiian punch.
  8. "Open up wide", said Dr. Molar as his trembling hand holding the hypodermic needle filled with novocaine neared my mouth.
  9. I was really surprised that I had the winning bid, the last few went to high for my liking.
  10. That's okay Carl, lets eat pie and call it a day. 😉
  11. Happen to have the time sir?
  12. Hey Carl, are you really craving that pie or did you think you were on "The One Sentence Game?" LOL 🤔°°pie really sounds good right about now especially with a glass of milk.
  13. Things happen is a cleaned up way of saying 💩 happens, and it does all the time.
  14. Sense vs cents, one the human race has five of and the other 5 of won't get you much anymore.
  15. Back in 1994 just the materials was $577.98, I and a friend supplied the labor for two days costing my wife and I, lunch and dinner for both days. We used Tamko 3 tab asphalt shingles. This time around we're using Timberline architectural shingles. The shingles were ordered today so in a week or so we'll have a new roof. All I have to do this time around is sit back and write the check..😁
  16. Had and built the '79 issue as a kid but I always liked the '70's original boxart. So I did the next best thing. Got me a sealed 2014 issue at a reasonable price.
  17. I finished my landscaping tie replacement project that I mentioned earlier. Turned out better than I expected but dang I'm sore all over, but thats the price us older guys pay. To be young again.. I also got an estimate on replacing the old roofing shingles. Everyone else in the neighborhood that's had theirs done, it has ended up costing them around $15,000. for 1,350 sq. ft. of roof. Luckily I have a friend who will do it for half that amount. It's good to know people..😉 so I'm actually not just pleased, but tickled to death.
  18. Strange Engineering manufacturers drag rear ends for all types of applications but not for the human rear end.
