  1. Rough sandpaper and styrene plastic rub each other the wrong way.
  2. What’s worse, the devil you know or the devil you don’t 👿
  3. Classics are basically defined as a vehicle that is more then 25 years old. But I think I would much rather take a car from the 60’s on a road trip then something from 1999. About 8 years ago my the transmission went out on my daily driver so I had to resort to using my 1987 T-Bird for work while it was being fixed. I drive @ 100 miles every day. While I thought the car was in good shape and roadworthy I found a lot of issues in those two weeks. On like the third day the car died going over a bridge crossing the Hudson River. Not getting any fuel, thought the fuel pump died. Turned out the rubber hose on the pump inside the tank failed. Then the alternator went and a number of other small things failed. After the 2 weeks I got a lot of kinks ironed out. Put a car that doesn’t get used much into daily use and things are going to fail. But there is a lot less to fail on a 60’s car then a 90’s car. And a lot easier to fix as well.
  4. Warning, warning Will Robinson.
  5. South-going Zax and a north-going Zax encounter each other in the Prairie of Prax
  6. No offense Nathan but I can't really say that I would qualify going on a trip in a 68 Montego in 1975 as "going on a road trip in a classic car". At that time it was the family daily driver, not yet a classic car. My family took many "classic cars" on trips back then as it's what you did. 1966 Fury III Wagon, 1968 Ford Torino, 1972 Fury Brougham, we drove all over the north east and down to Florida in these vehicles in the 60's and 70's. And aside from the Torino we could carry a lot of luggage. Much more then in your SUV today. In the past 20 years I've taken some of my classics on road trips. 1966 Ford Ranchero took up to New England to pick up some Mustang parts. 1964 Valiant & 1968 Torino traveled 4 hours out to PA many times for the Hershey Car Show. After driving a modern daily driver traveling in a classic is like going through a time warp. Just don't take Frank-N-Furter with you.
  7. Rubbish is a good way to describe the Tesla Cybertruck, maybe they should turn them into garbage trucks.
  8. Spec on those studs were not up to par as the wheels fell of Elon's personal ride.
  9. Chipper was jammed up with a 100 year old oak that knocked the hell out of those Japanese made ball bearings.
  10. Closed-captioning, please don't mention that term, my wife watches all these foreign shows on her I-pad pro and I can't understand anything that's going on and she's laughing her head off.
  11. "You"; I could leave it at that but no that would be cheating...
  12. Thread can weave a wild tale that takes you on an adventure to a world you’ve never seen before only to get you lost within your own mind.
  13. Ambiguous would apply to many of these sentences and leaves the interpretation to the individual reader.
  14. Nice job, the color combo is smashing.
  15. Cool project. I pulled one of the Jo-Han S/C Rambler kits out of the attic this afternoon thinking about starting it.
  16. That's what I did with my Vette.
