  1. Lifetime is a cable network whose shows generally really suck.
  2. I saw the movie for free at the local premier. I really don't remember the details clearly, but I think these were give-aways. IIRC, there were only a few at the showing and I didn't get one. Hence this warning....
  3. They are bad influences, just like the kids that our moms wouldn't let us play with.
  4. So, while we constantly bash "endless rebleating", has anyone confirmed that photo is real, and if so, is that an actual structural part of the Titan submersible? Looks like a fake carbon fiber wall in someone's mom's basement or a bad photoshop to me. I did a Google find for the photo, and all I found it on was antisocial non-media sites.
  5. So is the TS-7 Racing White. Much creamier than the TS-26. It's also a decent match for 1980s Ford truck Colonial White.
  6. This is my final answer:
  7. That's a 66 Fairlane upholstery pattern.
  8. Racing white(TS-7). It's also a pretty good match for Ford Wimbledon White.
  9. Comet / Cyclone? That is a very unusual console. I had a 1:1 67 Fairlane GTA a long time ago. Was there a 66 Fairlane annual or promo, other than the one from the 1980s?
  10. AMT '67 Fairlane annual? Edit: the upholstery pattern matches 1966.
  11. Thanks Gene. I believe it was you posting the '56 that made me start watching ePay for their diecasts. So, you are doubly to blame ?
  12. This is going to be resin or 3D. Are you sure it was a Ford and the seat faced backwards? The full-sized wagons got the center facing seats in 1965.
  13. I hate you Gene. You forced me to order one as well, plus the '56 Chevy from the same seller that I have been eyeballing for a while.
  14. My 2016 Mazda 3 is an S Grand Touring. I believe that was the only trim level to have a CD player that year. Spousal unit has a 2018 Focus Titanium with a CD player as well. We almost never use them. We still buy CDs, but they get ripped and loaded onto USB drives. Between that and Pandora via Android Auto, that is how we listen to music on the road. That little USB stick in the 3 has around 60 CDs on it and can easily be controlled by the MMI joystick.
  15. Yesterday was an "in office" day, but today I worked from home in a tank top and basketball shorts (commando).
  16. Yeah, I don't know why Ford used that type of washer pump on the 67 and 68 Mustangs. If they died, your carpet insulation was soaked with WW fluid. 65-66 and 69-up had normal electric washer pumps.
  17. You just made me shudder. Many years ago, an ex-"friend" had a nearly identical one with a turbo. I was working on the classic Mustang one evening when he drove up INTO MY GARAGE and told me that he thought he smelled gas. So did I (big time), and I not so politely told him to park his POS in the street and I would look at it. Grabbed a fire extinguisher and walked out as he popped the hood with the engine running. By the Grace of God, this melonhead drove about 30 miles from his mom's house to mine with a fuel line leaking profusely onto the turbo. I had some fuel injection fuel hose and clamps on hand and fixed the leak for him. I still don't know why it didn't combust when he was driving it.
  18. Ya know, I owned a '68 Mustang J-Code 302-4V with a 4-speed toploader from 1977-2001. It not only had a floor-mounted dimmer, it had a floor-mounted windshield washer pump pedal. Way too much for your left foot to attend to if you were driving in the dark and in the rain. Shift, dim, or wash? Which one first? You also couldn't reach the parking brake handle with the shoulder belt installed.
  19. Anything is possible, but as a native Californian, I would be shocked to visit Canada again and see Jalapenos on the menu at Timmy's.
  20. About squirrel(s) which will need both Pepto-Bismal and Band-Aids if they eat my Jalapenos.
  21. Squirrel(s) are the reason that I have mostly avoided planting a garden until this year, but if they damage it ima gonna get my shotgun.
  22. Hopefully one of the 3D guys will make the underhood part of the ram air system that Revell deemed too unimportant to include.
  23. When we visited Ontario in 2009, I was kind of disappointed in the beers offered. Rickard's Red was the only thing I found that was even remotely palatable. The beers available in 2013 when we visited B.C. were much more interesting to my taste preferences. Lots of different takes on microbrew IPA, and most were very good. I don't know if it was because of the area of the country, or just the time that passed that made the difference. I don't like Bud or Bud Light. Give me PBR if I want a cheap watery beer, please.
  24. My first 1/25th scale kits were the AMT '64 Galaxie Craftsman, molded in kind of a burgandy, and an AMT "Trophy" '49 Ford. I got them at the same time when I was 7 and had my tonsils out. I was able to put the '64 together, but Dad helped with the '49. He built a few kits in the early 1960s after having a work accident that left him pretty much disabled for about 3 years. I had smaller scale kits, ships, and planes as well. I really don't remember if they came before or after the Fords.
