  1. As you should be sir. Spectacular! G
  2. 13" on Mt. Charleston, 60 in the valley all week. G
  3. Ditto Watching the painting was the best part. G
  4. OMG my eyes are crossed................... G
  5. To be honest Chuck I have looked at the 300 and the Charger long and hard. I decided to wait to replace the Town Car for the time being for a myriad of reasons. Finding a low mileage newer TC is problematic as is finding a similar Grand Marquis. I have driven a CTS for an extended period and have taken a spin in an XTS as well. I'd buy the XTS right now but the gas mileage figures disturb me. The same issue arose with the Maxima. I'm trying to understand why my 5350 pound behemoth gets better mileage. My daughter currently drives a '93 New Yorker with 102 + on the clock. She calls it "Pablo" and it has served her well in college. My sons and I refer to the car as "Pauly Walnuts" . It's just now starting to nickle and dime her, not tooo bad for a "stopgap" measure eh?. G
  6. Trouble is Tom, those "dead people" are/were brand loyal. That's what pays the bills. Marketing in general lately has totally missed the point. Why alienate your prime demographic? I'm not 65 yet but was and I quote was, a loyal Lincoln customer. They, read Ford, no longer builds anything with a Lincoln name that I want to spend my money on. Aren't sales the bottom line ? G
  7. If I had the money, I'd do just that. G
  8. Take the time and visit Chris at CRM Hobbies - Brannon and Eichelberger in south St Louis (5101 Eichelberger). You wont be disappointed, tell them Sergeant Gray sent you. You'll hear a lot of mostly true stories about me. G
  9. No sh''''''''' uh, stuff. G
  10. On 9-11 my middle child, a son, was sitting in his HS library. He told me everyone began running to the TV. When he looked he saw a cop running away from something. The boy told me later he just instinctively knew that whatever he was seeing (it was the first tower coming down) was very, very bad as he never knew a cop to run from anything. Remember, at that time his dad (me), mom, older brother, uncle and great uncle were all cops. The boy called it right. He will never forget that day. G
  11. OMG yes, how? G
  12. Whoo hoo! Good for her. G
  13. 5:06 am, 43 degrees and it has been raining steady for over 24 hours. We average 4-5 inches of rainfall a year. This weather has now dumped over 2 inches of rain in this one storm. Wierd, I blame Arizona......................... G
  14. Beautiful beast there for sure! My stinky beagle is a rescue from Hurricane Rita. Went looking and he chose me. It'll be 8 years on December 15 for us. He has been with me through two wives, three houses, two states and a 1730 mile move. In fact all my dogs were rescued in one way or another. I found them while working and brought them home. G
  15. I am real interested in the new SS. Any car with Holden antecedents is ok by me. G
  16. John I love my Town Car and realize from whence it came. Trouble is the new models don't live up to the "luxury car hype" the way a classic design like the Panther platform did. My 2 cents anyway. G
  17. I was home with a case of strep throat. Grandma was watching me, I was 8 at the time. She received a telephone call from my father and turned the TV on just in time for us to hear Cronkite recite those infamous words. I sometimes think about what would life be like now if that had never happened. G
  18. Spend a week in a radio car and see how you perception of the public is effected. Everyone should take the time and check out their local police agencies for a civilian ride along program. Seriously, it will make you want to move to "east dakota" and be off the grid forever. G
  19. I have some lights that I string on the bushes out front. Little to no snow, lot's of rain and stupid people don't contribute to the spirit all that much. Nothing says "Christmas" better than show girls and lights on palm trees. BTW, did I mention I'm Jewish? G
  20. This is nice. More please. G
  21. Don't stop there Jonathan! Looking good so far, how's the fit? G
  22. When I grow up I wanna build like you. Lovely! G
