Yes, same here. It gets old. I try and only deal with local recruiters and ignore out of area one. Worked out very well with my last job search in January. The geography misunderstanding makes me laugh, I'm outside Cleveland yet I get email about positions in Columbus or Cincinnati, not to mention a lot on the West Coast, Chicago, Atlanta, Austin, etc...not interested in traveling for work or relocating anytime soon. What is really funny is how the recruiter's automated resume keyword matching systems work--I'll get email related to a technology I worked with on one job 20 years ago or places I lived 15-20 years ago (gigs in Colorado).

I get emails from 4-5 recruiters daily. Some are relevant and in my area or 100% remote, but many are for positions only slightly matching my skill set and not local...even more annoying is many of these recruiters aren't based in my area but are out of the country, barely can communicate in English, or have no comprehension of my state's geography. I'm not looking for a new gig, started a new one in Feb that I've enjoying.

I had a Fed Ex email that a package was out for delivery between 10-12 pm today. Then another email that said 1-3pm. it finally came around 4pm. Was from my employer, something to be opened on the all-hands Zoom call next week...some sort of corporate swag.

I think the only criteria is 25 years old or older. Not sure what the incentive for them is, regular car registration is cheap here compared to other states. I can't imagine putting a 'historical' plate on a Geo Metro. Per the Ohio BMV website: A person who owns a motor vehicle that is more than 25 years old and that is owned solely as a collector’s item used for participation in club activities, exhibitions, tours, parades, and similar uses may apply for registration of the vehicle and issuance of a Historical license plate with the Application and Affadavit for Historical License plates (form BMV 4860). Historical license plates are valid (without renewal) for the life of the vehicle, unless they are Initial Reserve, Personalized, or if there is a change in the vehicle’s ownership. Restrictions: A historical motor vehicle shall not be used for general transportation, but may be operated on the public roads and highways to and from a location where maintenance is performed on the vehicle.

Interesting...the streaker was an altered wheelbase drag version of the '64 Olds convertible kit? Never actually seen one of that kit. Some of the parts for it seem to be in the reissued convertible kit (like the tonneau cover and chopped windshield).

Raine is happy after a grooming for Spring. She does have 2 ears, her right one is up and down...

Looks like it will have a release later in the 'Craftsman Plus' style box art.

Got my Coke version today…and it’s molded in red. Guess I missed that detail in the description.

Got some new releases from Model Roundup today, first new models I'd bought in a while.

I got my learners permit I think at 14...started practicing at home in Ohio in the summer, with my Dad in his '79 Dodge Power Wagon 4x4 pickup (super numb steering, would stall on left turns), my Dad's then-new '84 Ford Escort diesel (great for parallel parking, and learning to use a manual transmission), and his '84 Lincoln Town Car (not great for parallel parking). Did this during the summer when I was 14 and 15 (1984, 1985). My Florida high school used an '83ish Caprice 4dr and a Celebrity of the same era for their driving training..both were tan IIRC. I took my driving test at 16 in the Escort, as it was the easiest to parallel park. I drove the Escort for a while once I got my license until I got my '87 Mustang GT.

A fair bit in the winter...let their coats get longer then, and have to brush them to prevent matting.

It's good...as Tim said, 98 pages, lots of articles on builds of muscle cars, pro touring and restomod style cars. A good read.

Me w/ Ginger (12) and Henry (14), both had recent groomings.

I did have 2nd thoughts looking at the rear pic, was thinking possibly a ‘69 GTO with the Judge wing, but the side quarter creases definitely look more Buick.

I’m thinking ‘70 GS—no GSX stripes, and it looks like the rear plate is lower like the 70 was.

The roofline, side crease and rear bumper looks like a ‘70-72 Buick Skylark or GS.

Yes, I had preordered mine in digital form several months ago, and they sent me a link to the Zinio version today.

I thought the Saturn was the better looking of the two. Haven’t seen one of either in a long time

Pontiac Solstice

Got mine today, looks good.

Got my 2nd Pfizer shot a little over 24 hours ago, no side affects so far except for a sore shoulder yesterday.

Probably 85%. I started getting AARP mail when I was 39. The forum does skew older, I'm probably amongst the younger at 50.

Sweet...I built the Revell Bora kit as a kid, never got the Merak kit.

Cannonball Run?

Other than shipping delays, I've never had a problem w/ Amazon delivery..I get packages from them sometimes 4 times a week, they always put them by the front door. With 3 cameras I can see them walking up the drive to the door. Walmart delivery has been fine also, along w/ Instacart for my local groceries. I've had USPS, UPS and Fed Ex leave packages for other neighbors at my door...once got what was clearly an Apple laptop left at my door for a neighbor 5 houses down the street..walked it down. The most annoying thing is even after over 4 years here, i still get mail addressed to the previous owners.
