I think I can fit......?

Love old radios........the wooden one on top of the console tv in the middle was my great grand pappy's (AM and shortwave).

Love that flick, saw it in the theater and have it on VHS. But last year I found the Blu-ray, good to see it again in widescreen. Of course who can forget "Tremors" with Ward and Kevin Bacon. Although Ward was in "Tremors II" and he was good, Bacon was sorely missed.

I tried to get rid of my phone land line but would only save $12. But the internet service has been great and I do still watch enough cable TV to keep the "triple-pay".

I'm a pro-photographer but have yet to go digital. Of course my color film does get developed in a dedicated film processor and a high quality scan from work and some post PS work but my BW is done all by hand in the darkroom. People always say to me "But you only have 36 shots!?!" Yes, I'm stuck with "just" 36 images per roll but that's all I need to "get" the shot. I have no intention of buying a DLSR and shoot 3600 images only to spend the next 8 hours combing through all that BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH to get the 10-20 I need. And a well done BW in the darkroom is miles ahead of any BW digital image, in my mind anyway. Just old school I guess.

NEW BIRD

Very cool! I had for a very short time an 83 with a standard V6. -
I listen to mostly classic/hard rock, classical and Jazz (drummers). And even though I admit and like Patsy Kline and Billy Holiday I also secretly like Rosanne Cash. Back in the late 80's when Target was getting rid of their vinyl they had her first 4 LP's marked down to 99 cents each. I bought them cause I thought maybe I'd like her more than her father and I did, sorry not a fan of Johnny.

61 Comet 4 door
webestang replied to NYLIBUD's topic in 1:1 Reference Photos: Auto Shows, Personal vehicles (Cars and Trucks)
Love that paint job! Merc did make more 4 drs than 2 drs but I assume that the 2 drs are more prevalent today. 1961 Comet 4 door sedan 85,332 $2,053 1961 Comet 2 door sedan 71,563 $1,998 1961 Comet 2 door station wagon 4,199 $2,310 1961 Comet 4 door station wagon 22,165 $2,353 -

1980 Mazda 626 4-door. RWD.....it had 3 u-joints that used to fail constantly, the auto trans was sluggish and zapped so much power 0-60 seemed to take forever but the biggest reason it was a POS was the head gasket that used to spring a leak every 1000 miles or so. Oh yeah, rust, I'm talking a lot of rust. Only had that car for 1 year.

My 88 5.0 vert. Been with me now for 20 years, so easy to fix and get parts. 200,xxx miles and it still just runs and runs. And of course that 5.0 sound.............?

Copycat automotive design.
webestang replied to Oldcarfan27's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Did you know the Dodge was based on a Mitsubishi Galant Lambda from 1976. BTW the Dodge was a late response to the Mustang II. First time I have seen it compared to the Fox Mustang, interesting. https://www.dodgegarage.com/news/article/heritage/2021/03/the-forgotten-challenger-1978-dodge-challenger.html -

A friend in high-school (1982) had a Opel GT that had "SM VET" on his personal plates. LOL -

Ford vs Ferrari

Great flick. But too bad the writers had to make Leo Beebe such a bad guy. Good article about Leo here...... https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2020/04/02/leo-beebe-corporate-villain-good-guy-tough-job-le-mans -

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.
