  1. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
  2. My least favourite bugs are wasps, in fact I hate them. Got stung once and that did it for me, but my mom was stung 10 times by 7 wasps. Not to mention they like to make their nests in the ground on the lawn so when I go over it with the riding mower they all shoot up from there and become pissed as well as the ones that insist on making nests under my grandma’s garage roof overhang, which is wood so they like it there and get angry when I go in the garage or walk past it. Just awful little ?
  3. Really like that ‘66 Grand Prix, but also the 1967 Caddy Ambulance and the ‘60 Buick
  4. That's a neat Katydid; like how it looks like a leaf. One of our assignments for the College program right now is collecting "Terrestrial Insects" to pin down like those collections; you know how they do butterflies pinned in a picture frame; that kinda thing. Would've loved to add that Katydid to the collection.
  5. Winter driving has drifted off of the list now, so no worries about the Nova rusting further.
  6. That may be the reality; but all summer long I was searchin' for classics every single day, checking Kijiji (our Canadian selling website) as well as Marketplace and the cars you see go for sale are crazy; some real nice notable cars worth a look and the money; great deals, but 90% of those cars were too far away for us right now. In terms of getting a modern vehicle, my dad is going to sell me his truck because he'd like to get a newer one, so I'll have a modern vehicle eventually. I guess my heart was dead set on having a classic car; kinda influenced by things and people around me, like my friend's brother who's younger than us, bought a 1969 Newport; big green four door for $4000 and he only has a beginner's lisence. But I'll see what happens...
  7. So the Lincoln’s ad is no longer a thing, which means it sold so is no longer an option. Just as well because I liked the Nova better anyway. Funny thing, I had a hunch of where it lived based on sightings of it in past years (yes, I was aware of the Nova’s existence before the sale ad) and so we went looking for it and sure enough it was out on the front of a driveway. No one was home, but looking at it, there are some rusty spots and bubbles just around the wheel wells that weren’t visible in those photos. Most notably, there’s a pretty rough spot on the back driver’s side wheel well; may not be surface rust. I still like the thing, but $6,800 seems a little steep now that I seen these imperfections. There was a 66 Galaxie earlier in the year that had no such imperfections and was $6,500, but sold before I could even wrap my head around it. At least $5000 is the Nova’s worth.
  8. Absolute Fantastic collection! Really dig the '60 Buick. Real cool about the Coronet, awesome old photo and hope the restoration goes well ?
  9. Unfortunately had to be "chauffered" to school this morning, but that also meant my hands were free to handle a camera. Got a white LeBaron convertible around 7:30 this morning. Nothin' special.
  10. Yeah i agree, 1956 Imperial. Had those trademark tailights
  11. That's really nice; I built the same kit but did the regular Carosel Red GTO, but I feel I could've done a less traditional one that would have been just as cool, which yours totally is. Especially with the vinyl top ?
  12. Attractive is a good word to describe some girl in my college program, but wimp is a good word to describe me who doesn't have the guts to say anything to her
  13. Saw a red ‘53 or so Ford truck in my rear view mirror on my way home from college; it was waiting to go straight, I turned onto the road ahead of it. It’s like all red, like the bumpers and grille; essentially all the chrome was body colour.
  14. People are absolute crazy around here, too. My mom has me drive to school on some elaborate route instead of the highway, but you still can't escape stupidity.
  15. Unfortunately, chains are; pretty sure they're illegal in our city because of little bits flying off and blowing tires. Bottom line nobody around here ever has chains on their wheels, or at least i've never seen them. Though I do know how they would add to the traction. If this winter is anything like last winter, there will be grass on Christmas, so not really worried about traction, but of course snow tires still are a must.
  16. Thanks for all your opinons and knowledege, guys, I appreciate it. Still not sure entirely if I will even be able to make this choice; still waiting for a couple other factors to set in, but if anyone would like to check these cars out a little more, here are the links to the respective cars: 1988 Lincoln Town Car - Cars & Trucks - Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario | Facebook Marketplace | Facebook 69 Chevy Nova - Cars & Trucks - Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario | Facebook Marketplace | Facebook
  17. Yeah that's the unfortunate part about Northern Ontario. But if the Nova was the choice, during winter I could just take a parent vehicle or get dropped off and picked up, which has been the norm so far, but winter storage space is limited, so I'm thinkin' Lincoln is definietly the winter choice too.
