  6. I find all kinds of crazy stuff at my local thrift shop. I mostly go there for typewriters, vinyl LP's and VHS tapes. Found a few model kits and tons of loose Lego bricks. Just recently I found a really nice Yamaha steel string acoustic guitar with case for $24.99.
  7. Nice Pony's!!!!! My 200,000+ mile 88..... And my 85 2.3L notch.....
  8. I'm thinking of using the Police/drag notchback kit with the New Monkey's GT vert kit, only thing is the notch is 1/25th and the vert is 1/24th.
  9. I buy all the 8 tracks I see at my local thrift shop. They sell for 49 cents, I resell on the Bay for around $3-5 each. I even found a sealed recordable 8 track......!
  10. Looking fantastic!!!! ? Someday I want to build a replica of my 88 5.0 LX vert.
  11. Classical on vinyl. Sometimes Frank Sinatra, Buddy Holly or Gene Krupa, vinyl as well.
  12. I have those gears and BBK 170 mph speedo, headers, Dynomax Mufflers, no girlfriend but mine is a convertible. Of course that sweet sound of that 5.0 just makes me pop the cassette out.....LOL
  13. Until I found the widescreen DVD of the Big Bus a few years ago I had only seen it on censored TV. Just as funny as Airplane (1980).

My daily drivers are..... 1996 Crown Vic 4.6 175xxx miles. Paid $500 for it in 2016. 1999 Mustang V6 138xxx miles. Paid $700 for it in 2017. Fun cars..... 1985 Mustang 2.3L notch 137xxx miles. Paid $1350 for it in 2009. 1988 Mustang 5.0 vert. 200xxx miles. Paid $5500 for it in 2002.
  17. If I want no comfort/room I'd drive my 88 Mustang 5.0 convertible. If I want comfort/room I'd drive my 96 Crown Vic.
  18. A small part of my camera collection.....
  19. 1977 Mercury Monarch 4 door w/302 auto (also was my drivers test car). Then a 1970 Ford F-100 "3 on the tree" for stick shift.
  20. Best- all the Scorpions concerts I've been too. Going to fly to Vegas in April to see them there during their month long live in tour. Loudest- Judas Priest. Best sounding- Bod Seager. Best seats- Aerosmith -2nd row center. Met the band- Foreigner. Foreigner 4 tour 1981. After the show the band went to a restaurant that a friend's brother worked there and surprised us. So many other concerts.
  21. First time I got pulled over was in my 71 Super Beetle. I was 16 (1980) had my DL for about a week and ran a stop sign. Cop let me go with a warning. First ticket was in my 68 Mustang, 36 in a 30 zone. People today drive well over 40 in that zone today all day long.
  22. Oh yeah, LOVE that place. I've had a few of my typewriters fixed there. There is a documentary called "California Typewriter" that talks about a repair shop in CA and the "resurgence" of the typewriter. The doc was done by the same peeps would did "Rewind This" about VHS collecting (which I do as well). Oh and check this out...... https://typewriterrevolution.com/manifesto
  23. Typewriters live on here in St. Louis, Jones Typewriter Repair shop.... https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/how-the-typewriter-is-still-surviving-in-st-louis/63-afbd4239-58bc-4fdd-a44f-e1fd0b1dff7c
