  1. I love it!
  2. I was trying to remember what model year the C/K dash changed from the "box" of 1988 to the "curved" of the latter years (I'm guessing it was sometime in the early 90's -- first time I'd noticed the change was in 1995.)
  3. That looks like an interesting and unique model there -- like a mix of Tucker, Renault, and Nash. I'll have to look up what exactly the Tartas is. **EDIT** Air-cooled V8 is pretty wild! Little surprise that it's a government officials' transportation.
  4. A young kitten was found under a house in Santa Cruz; her name's Holly. Mountain lion cub found under Santa Cruz home – KION546
  5. Apples & Oranges is one of Pink Floyd's wilder songs, along with Scream thy Last Scream (Old Woman with a Casket)
  6. I'm more impressed with the free toothpicks on them tyres!
  7. "Ha! Shouldn't that be Dee-bee? Dabnium just sounds silly!"
  8. For those of us whom reside in California, and especially in the Los Angeles region, P22 Hollywood Mountain Lion was a fixture in the media; his antics, many. Unfortunately, the poor ole guy had to be euthanised on 17.12 (Saturday) due to his being hit by a vehicle. P22 was up there in age, his D.O.B. sometime in spring 2010 -- 12 years is a very long life for any Puma [et alia] -- and he resided in a respectively small roaming area in the Los Feliz/Griffith Park area. He's legendary around here for not only his antics (holing up in a cellar under a house which was being renovated, for an instance, completely surprising the unsuspecting construction workers upon return from their lunch break. P22 left on his own volition after a couple of hours), but for also crossing two of the region's busiest highways: US 101 and I-405 -- usually suicide for any creature, let alone a 100+lbs. mountain lion! May he Rest In Peace! Thank you for your time with us, Twenty-Two!
  9. 79 is the new 46
  10. "USA" sounds like "You, ese" which was a commonly heard phrase around the high school I'd attended
  11. "Me an' my Louisville Slugger'll take care'a dat for youse."
  12. Original opening theme song (I'm good with either/or, with a slight lean toward the "new", instrumental piece -- it fits the dingy, overcast Los Angeles's South Bay region better, IMO. I'm sure that locals to the southern California region understand where I'm coming from).
  13. The c.2003 reissue differs in these ways only: 1.) Moulded in (Godawful) grey 2.) 'GMC' parts / A-TEAM-specific parts are plated (as are the originally-plated G30 parts - hubcaps, optional wheels, engine parts, etc.-, whereas the original, c.1983 issue was moulded in all black) So, six to one...
  14. 1:1 references are great, but don't necessarily apply to scaled-down representations (e.g., certain liberties are taken by the kit manufacturers).
  15. Restored original soundtrack on that reissue, IIRC.
  16. Businesses -small businesses- are victims of social engineering
  17. Plastic Inevitable was a shortened term for Andy Warhol's 1966-1967 travelling multimedia performances featuring the Velvet Underground
  18. 1-of-1 triple-white 1969 Trans Am Convertible, 4-speed! Photo Courtesy of me personal friend Brad Miles.
  19. Consequences are out-of-sequence
  20. Just in time for Dodge to announce its mid-2023 edition of Jill...
  21. Das ist ein fantastischer Aufbau eines klassischen Fahrzeugs! Ich erkenne die Hinzufügung eines Motors und Details unter der Motorhaube: Woher haben Sie diese bezogen?
  22. 1964-1965 Chevelle 300 Deluxe two door [AMENDMENT] with I-6 and L-79 options, P-Glide, 3-speed, and 4-speed options, and period-correct custom rims, tyres, and other appointments.
  23. Camel cigarettes were my faves for a brief period in 1992 before switching full time to Marlboro Reds
  24. Diameter divided by didactics circumvents the circumference certainly
  25. How darling and precious! Lifelong friends there ?
