  1. You piqued my curiosity, so I got one of my AMT '66 Mustang Fastback kits out and measured the rim size on the 10-Spoke wheels. They are accurate to 1:25 scale for a 15" wheel.
  2. If you desire something, don't just wish for it, WORK for it. When you save up enough cash to buy, go get it.
  3. "Coffee" I'd reply, "I'm about to make a BIG pot", and this is when they'd cop to wanting to collect 2 dollars so they could go down to the liquor store and get a bottle of "TUNDAHBOID".
  4. Gatherings at the front door of my shop in the morning when I arrived to open for the day were what were then known as "bums", begging quarters for "a cup of coffee"
  5. Bird, bird, what's the word, have you seen or heard my Thunderbird?
  6. Actually, I think the "new tooled body" statement is in error for the Shelby GT350, unless he is referring to the body being a new tool for the AMT '66 Mustang Fastback released in 2023. The 10 Spoke Shelby kits are the same as those included in the AMT '66 Mustang kits since Kit # 6526 released in 1989. The Torque Thrusts that were on the chrome tree in the original 1966 release were added as separate parts in the latest '66 Fastback release from 2023.
  7. Pigsty where the smallfry all go to lie and dream of pie at the eve of nigh while they try and try to sigh and begin to cry 'cause they can't get their high by suckin' on a chicken thigh.
  8. Worserer is one of the mispronunciations of my last name.
  9. Threadlockers like Loctite Red or Green is what I wish I could apply to the multitude of loose nuts behind the wheel here on the roads of Southern California after they are subjected to proper tightening.
  10. Cans of PB Blaster is what I keep on hand because it works better than any other penetrating oil in helping me break stuck rusty nuts loose.
  11. Cases and cases of China Doll faces she places in vases with weighted down bases while she paces and paces as he bets on the races.
  12. Too many idiots with deficient driving skills on my local freeways. Especially those who feel the need to just about take the front end off of my car while I'm in a group in the number one lane all going the same speed, just to watch the car I was behind get smaller and smaller as it drives into the horizon because they're driving slower than the flow of traffic and there is no opportunity to pass them.
  13. Past experiences in my journey through this life include crushed plans and dreams as well as many tremendous accomplishments and victories.
  14. Gearboxes with shifters of the three-on-the-tree variety located on the right-hand side of the steering column were standard equipment on American automobiles for many, many years.
  15. Who was very recently finally on first.
  16. My wife and I lost 2 beautiful sisters from the same litter cats to coyotes 4 years apart, the last on in 2016. Due to the heartbreak, emotional pain and feelings of loss, especially for my wife, I swore we'd never get another pet. Last November, a client of a friend of my wife's was moving into an assisted living home and needed to find a new home for Hannah, a 5-year-old. Where we live, coyotes regularly poop in our driveway. As it turns out, Hannah has always been an indoor cat and, other than looking out of a couple of windows, shows no interest in going outdoors. It didn't take her long to adopt us and become VERY affectionate and to carve herself a VERY deep place in my heart. We still miss TC and Gizmo deeply, but the benefits of Hannah being part of our family IMMENSELY outweighs the grief.
  17. Basement Tapes is the sixteenth album by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and his second with the Band.
  18. But I did so much love the sound of the rain on the convertible top!...
