  1. Years ago I purchased a 1980 AMC spirit from the AMC dealership, which was a sporty looking car but had little power so I slapped on a pair of L 50's mounted on 15" cragar rims and added hi-jacker air shocks making it look more race worthy but still it moved like a slug.
  2. South town is where Santa had to go to find Jingle, Jangle, and Vixen who were trying to find the Christmas spirit.
  3. Wow.. about 4 years ago we had a 2002 oldsmobile alero that had ridiculously low mileage. One day going to lunch I noticed that the brake pedal was feeling like it was low on brake fluid. I checked the reservoir and sure enough it was low. Stopped at Walmart, bought brake fluid, topped off the reservoir and headed back to work, approximately 1/2 mile. As I pulled onto works parking lot the brake pedal was spongy again. Popped the hood and dang the reservoir was low already. I know I had a big problem. I carefully drove it to my mechanic which is at the adjacent lot of where I worked. I was told the brake lines had deteriorated as was the gas line due to the wonderful salt brine that Maryland sprays on our roads before a wintery mix. The $h¡+ clings to the undercarriage and destoying the metal. The grand total to repair the damage was more than the book value of the car. Since the car had other ongoing issues we decided to just retire it. What's sad is that to fix your damage Is about the same as having my 4 teeth pulled by the oral surgeon, which I still yet to do..
  4. Aliens we have, spaceships maybe, if the Roswell story has merit.
  5. While out today. 69? I think..very clean and Sounded healthy.
  6. I stopped in our local Michael's yesterday to check if they still had any models or was it like my last visit, maybe a couple kits that were military and no automotive kits. This time, the military kits still the same ones and three Monogram '55 chevy BelAir street machine kits. Then I went to our Walmart and no models kits. Even the super Walmart in the neighboring town doesn't carry them...SAD... looks like for now I'm stuck with buying online or at Hobby Lobby, I have most of what they have on their shelves already in one form or another. I feel your pain Carl..
  7. Sie Liebt Dich, ya ya ya Wir sehen uns später, Gute Nacht (She loves you, ya ya ya I'll see you later, good night)
  8. "Else you take off them there muddy boots or I'm gonna unleash something fearful on your bare bottom" said mother to little Johnny.
  9. One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know, that is until someone comes along and sits with you to listen to the Three Dog Night album playing.
  10. Dreamland is what I think I'm in so I best pinch myself to insure that my dream of my earlier irk now returning to normal has been achieved and is true..🫡
  11. Hooky, back when I was in HS was usually at a friend's house listening to LPs and trying to pick those tunes on guitars meanwhile everyone's passing 🤔°° gas, yeah that's it.
  12. Work on a plausible excuse such as I was attacked by a Sasquatch while helping a little old lady cross over a stream by way of a downed tree, just a suggestion.
  13. Arrived today..This wasn't on my must have kit list but it peeked my interest due to its rarity and weirdness. So I took a chance on it on an ebay auction. Looks complete but I haven't inventoried it yet, just a quick look see. The box is a little rough and the decal sheet backing is crackled but the decals look okay, still not usable but they may be okay for STS to perform there miracles. 🤷‍♂️
  14. Gravel roads are not meant for burnouts 🤔°°unless you're Cheech and Chong in their chevy.
