  1. Yesterday, a white 1970 Plymouth Duster with a flat black hood and big hood scoop.
  2. You can say Christmas time is here
  3. Mondays are still horrid days for me even though I don’t start school until 11:30; it’s the five hours after that are the most boring of the whole week.
  4. We had a closer look at Laverne’s right brake line and there is in fact a little hole in the crease right above the nut so there’s no way to actually stop the leak via electrical tape, but it does slow the leak down some. She’s scheduled to have both lines replaced on Monday and so my dad is going to top up the brake fluid before leaving, and then drive it to the mechanic. Apparently putting it in neutral eased the pressure on her brakes so less fluid comes out but Laverne’s not going anywhere until Monday.
  5. Not to worry; Laverne’s not going anywhere until the mechanic attends to the issue. It was a sketchy thing though holy smokes; never again
  6. Not sure if this is a thread alreday, but I'll start thisun off. Experienced some sort of braking issue for the first time today, while driving my Mom's 2013 Toyota 4Runner (named Laverne) home from the Sault College. Stopped waiting to go on the road, and I'd step on the brake and she'd stop, but then my foot would keep going to the floor and she'd start to creep out onto the street while cars were passing by. Take the foot of and re-apply and she stops again, but then started creeping again. Played that game all the way home. Brake light never came on. Smelt some burning type smell but looked under and nothing was dripping. Then drove to my Grandma's and looked under then and there was dripping on the right side. Better to drip on a gravel driveway than our own paved one. But she was fine this morning on the way there. Just a scary situation, having to leave ample room behind a stopped cars at the red light so Laverne had enough room to creep up while waiting for the green. ?
  7. 1956 Packard Predictor, 1955 Ford Mystere, 1956 Chrysler Flight Sweep II, 1956 Plymouth Plainsman, 1958 Plymouth Cabana, and the 1964 Ford Aurora
  8. Vernacular… that’s a fun word to say
  9. That was my suspicion as to why there was just the bloody hide of the mouse in my trap. I thought only grasshopper mice were cannibals but I guess regular old field mice can be, too.
  10. The 1960 DiDia 150, the 1948 Mercury Templeton Saturn Bob Hope Special, 1972 Stutz, and the 1966 Duesenberg would be neato to build
  11. Wise words one can live by
  12. Attractive means different things to everyone; for example I find the 1960 DiDia 150 to be a relatively attractive car
  13. I've been using a set of wood Victor traps also; and back in 2020 I set one on the ledge on the side of the garage because there were these horrible red squirrels wreaking havoc in the garage, and so I got one there a couple times, but then accidentally a Blue Jay. However, the Jay was still alive, but wasn't really doing well. Put it in a box overnight hoping it would come to, but it was dead the next morning. Felt bad enough that I actually buried the thing in a tin can and marked the grave with a cinderblock.
  14. I set a mouse (or rat) trap the other day in my grandma’s garage and those traps are larger than regular mouse traps, so I think they’re rat traps; but anyway I checked it and it was just the furry skin of the mouse; the actual body was gone, just a bloody hide in the trap so I have no idea what the holy halibut skinned that mouse on the trap. Never seen anything like that before.
  15. Italy is where the cutest little car came from; the Autobianchi Bianchina Transformabile
  16. Found this a while back. It's some concept fastback grafted on to a regular full-size Pontiac. I find it very visually appealing, in my opinion. Would've been cool if it made it to production. What do you dudes think
