For my 1982 Mercury Capri RS/5.0HO (Fox Body Capri)

Skies of blue and clouds of white, the bright blessed days and the dark sacred nights, and I think to myself "what a wonderful world!"

and HazMat suits

helps me to keep from taking unnecessary and dangerous risks when I get in a hurry, this rule does: "Safety First" is our predominant operating principle at work.

that is filthy

heads, cylinder blocks, intake manifolds and water pumps for automotive engines weigh much more when made of cast iron than those cast in aluminum

foolishness is what a LOT of people are practicing when it comes to managing their circumstances

to enhance flavor

Yep, it's a 1951 model year...

I just checked in my copy of the book "Grumpy's Toys". The Black Arrow was a Belvedere I Super Stock according to the original bill of sale and a picture of the rear of the car shows the trim with the "Belvedere" script on the upper right end of the chrome trim.

I wonder if Classic Recreations knows that their workmanship is being misrepresented by idiots or jokers on the internet: https://classic-recreations.com/current-cars-for-sale/1969-ford-mustang-boss-429/

way more time to relax and work on my model cars is what I long for, but day-to-day life, especially my job responsibilities, keeps impeding my aspirations, intentions and plans

and some peanuts

Rainbow with the pot o' gold at the end is the rainbow I'm still trying to find

and frosty mugs

deepness of a captivating compliment as well as looking her in the eye while you convey more idioms of admiration, appreciation and affection may be just what you need to do to cause that dance to start

become more devolved

Man, this thread is getting more and more crazy by the second

This is correct. I've been hearing these lyrics WRONG for more than THIRTY years!!!...

When I was 10 I wanted to be 12. When I was 12 I wanted to be 14. When I was 14 I wanted to be 16. When I was 16 I wanted to be 18. When I was 18 I wanted to be 21. When I was 21 I wanted to be 25. When I was 25 I wanted to be 14 again and know what I knew was 25...

For MANY years, from 1977 until 2001, I commuted on my blue 1977 Kawasaki KZ650 Custom and then my red 1979 KZ100 MkII. If I had to drive a car for more than 2 days for any reason, I felt like I was locked up in a cage... In 2001 while commuting on my local freeway, I was almost taken out TWICE in 3 days by divers in large SUVs. I had a mortgage to pay, responsibilities at my job and didn't HEAL as quickly as I did when I was younger, so I parked my street bikes....It had become WAY too dangerous to ride my beloved street bikes to work, and this was BEFORE the common practice of texting while "driving"... I HATE having to had make THAT decision to this day!!!... In my garage: 1979 Kawasaki KZ1000 Mk. II modified to 1982 Eddie Lawson KZ1000 Road Race specs, Kawasaki KX 500 Desert Race machine, raced in AMA District 37 from 1994 until 2004, Honda XR600 with 13.5:1 compression 640cc kit, built for 4-Stroke Grand Prix, piston started life as a 4.00 in bore Ross Racing Chevy 350 NASCAR piston... FUN STUFF, don't get to operate NEARLY often enough...

gnats flying around my face, getting into my eyes and lighting on the food I'm cooking drive me INSANE in the summer when I am on my patio trying to barbecue
