    In that case, don't ask for them to put a Cougar aside for you......

    I was looking at the Storm and then moved onto the pick ups. Didn't really need those but when the seller said $20 for all of them, they followed me home. I don't think the Beretta and the Storm have seen the light of day since the assembly line.

    Cincinnati Reds winning streak ended....at six hours! Their record is 4-23. Losing 100 games this season now WELL within reach

    Here's the one that had my undivided attention......70 Javelin. It has the street interior and home made plates over the headlights/tail lights. Need to find a stock dash as I want to turn this back into the street version. Not really a Ford guy but as I obsessed about the Javelin for the week long action, some of the other builds came into view. All are complete, just dusty (the ones photographed from behind was due to being tired of trying to get the front end to stay on for a quick pic). I was hoping the 67 Galaxie convertible was in decent shape. Complete and the windshield posts are in tact.

    Our street is on a perpetual widening project and they've progressed to the new curbs/aprons on the other side of the street. Our new neighbor ordered furniture and the company doing the work asked that any major delivery be made on Saturday or Sunday...which she did. Truck shows up today and parks out front but the road is narrowed by the road work so the traffic had difficulty getting through. As traffic backed up, the landscaping truck (just a regular truck w/ no trailer) I presume called the cops are Chief Wiggum showed up.....didn't get out of the car but felt the need to chew the furniture guys as well as the neighbor for doing what she was asked to do. My teenager was peaking out the front door window. Me...nope....grabbed a snack and drink before going out on the porch to watch this comedy of errors. The cop had another neighbor move their vehicles and the furniture truck parked on the other side of the street.

    From an online auction, the pics of the lot were close to being satellite imagery but this one caught my eye (there was another one that did moreso, but still unpacking all of them and matching the bucket of parts together with the cars....will post another time). I've not been able to find this from various on-line searches.......(found the hood for it!)

    I ask them if its on the specific toy from the adult shop from the movie Naked Gun 2 1/2 that the clerk tells Leslie Nielsen they got in for him. They usually hang up at that point.

    First C&C of the year is usually the biggest but Mother Nature felt like throwing in one more late season sleet & ice. Event moved into the parking garage. Tron Corvette (second pic with a flash) 1979 Mitsubishi Colt (58k original miles)

    Yep! Mom never smoked, drank, drugs, stayed active and worked up to the day of her stroke....long trips for her were anything over 20 miles one way......died at 70 of a stroke from not taking her blood pressure meds Dad ate like the cockroach, smoked a pipe, never exercised and stopped taking his blood pressure meds after mom passed.....made it eight more years to the age of 80 and died of Dementia. I'm mid 50's and buried several friends and classmates. I'm fat and happy. BP under control and bad cholesterol is only marginally high

    Reach out to management office at a nearby mall. Tenant's leave stuff behind that needs a home. I used to work for the company that bought a mall in Ashland KY. They recently sold it to a developer and donated all the fixtures to a charitable company that will sell it. (Search Kyova Mall) Check smaller thrift stores. One near me gets cabinets all the time and they put them on the sidewalk in front of the store for a few bucks as they don't have the floor space to keep them inside.

    92 Mercury Topaz!!! Bought brand new and I was like Norm walking into the bar on Cheers when it came in for service frequently.....everyone knew my name. Before the warranty ran I out I sold it. I was making good $$ by the end of my time with that POS and the dealership told me to look at the Mustang. I said you can't fix this thing why would I spend more money with Ford? Several Mitsubishi's, couple Dodge's, a Pontiac and now Genesis...I've not been back.

    We had a neighbor that was known for inviting the entire family tree over a cookout every Sunday in the summer so it sounded like Chuck E Cheese frequently. I found that a great time to fire up the lawnmower, weed whack with precision along the fence, detail the car with the most annoying CD I could find, load the firepit with wet oak leaves (enough smoke to make it look like a plane went down), get the chain saw out to cut up the limbs that fell over the winter to firewood length.

    Game used goalie stick from Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jason Elliott. Got it autographed in person when he was with their AHL affiliate. Radio promo CD two pack of Sammy Kershaw Feelin' Good Train Rarely stop in there anymore as most of the items at the ones in my area are more expensive than buying new at Wally World

    Went to a toy show last Sunday. Other than the current Matchbox releases, not much else! Swap meet yesterday and went overboard. The most expensive thing here is the Vega. Everything is sealed or open/complete. The Coke van was an auction win for less than $5. Pop machine is missing but the glass and decals are there....so are the two cases of Coke bottles
