My employer has a satellite office in Chihuahua. To this day, when I have to type the name of the city, I think about this scene with Johnny and Les. "Chee Who-ah Who-ah. LOL. Classic show for sure!

When I was a kid, my parents had one like this. Not sure where they got it, but by then it didn't work very well. I don't recall what happened to it. Even in the late 1960s, nobody in the area could work on these things or was interested in keeping them in tip-top shape. It probably wound up in the dump.

One word, just one word.....

I believe they are only in the 1996 and 1997. The more common 1995 kit has a different wheel.

I had one as well, but it's long gone.

I am not suggesting that anyone go out and buy one of these simply to bend styrene rod with, but we have one and it works well for that purpose. My Thermapen says that the water coming out of the nozzle is around 187F.

I remember watching him on Celebrity Apprentice. Came across as a really smart guy, not at all like his crazy professional persona.

I thought it was a typo, but apparently the seller also has men's neckwear.....

Thanks Bill. I have been working from home due to pandemic since 3/22/20. My daily routine used to be walking to the bridge and back every morning. I have a lot of pics of her. The one I posted was during one of our "times of fire" and it made the sky look amazing. I need to get out more and take more pics. The best pic I DIDN'T take was of a deer and a coyote on opposite sides of the road waiting for a car to pass so they could cross the road.

Weird things I see around the house Cringeworthy things in public Beautiful old gal from the early 20th century that is a 15 minute walk from the house. Built originally as a railroad bridge and is a movie star.

Randomly walking in San Francisco and found a rainbow over Alcatraz, LOL.

I used to be into film, but I got lazy. One of my 35mm cameras was traded away on this very forum for models. My current phone is a really nice camera overall and I enjoy taking pics with it when I see something attractive. Mostly food I have made and the wonders of man(kind) and nature that I observe every day.

When the BMW Z8 was introduced (with huge markups), a dealer principal somewhere in the midwest USA was quoted as saying that you can shear a sheep many, many times, but you can only kill and eat it once. What does your dealership do about "mandatory" dealer-installed stuff on the high-demand vehicles?

There was a little over 272,000 SportTracs still registered as of October. Not everyone needs or wants an F350 diesel as a daily driver. Remember that Ford has discontinued cars in the US, except for the Mustang. The base Maverick is pretty cheap and is a hybrid. They are hoping to attract some of the "entry level" buyers with the fuel economy, utility, and price of the Maverick.

Those are the stock "dogdish" hubcaps with a wire wheelcover overlay.

That is what I was talking about, but I have heard that the Ford VIN was stamped on all 289 HiPos and possibly some other high performance engines like 428CJs. Not just installed in Shelbys. I was a longtime owner (1977-2001) of a really nice '68 San Jose Mustang. I actually spent a couple weeks underneath it detailing the undercarriage with Fantastik and rags. Fuel tank was out, leaf springs and rearend was out, etc. Pretty sure there was no "hidden" VIN anywhere under there after spending all that face time with it. It had the normal VINs on the fender aprons, the door tag, and being a '68 had the dash VIN visible through the windshield per law. San Jose cars did not get the additional "buck" tag on the core support. I have also "heard" that some cars received a VIN stamp on toploader transmissions. Mine had no such stamp, but it was a lowly 302-4V. The thing that ruins the whole "front end wreck" thing for me is their comments about the radiator being correct.

close your eyes

So, the door tag is missing as well? And it's not the original engine and to the car? I always have heard that 289 HiPos were VIN stamped, but that could be bunk knowledge.

These things can be a little pricey for a current-model phone. Try a thrift store or Dollar-Fifty Tree. You might get lucky.

Promos come up on FleaBay fairly regularly as well.

Vinyl roofs, especially on GM cars, were responsible for a lot of otherwise nice cars going to the scrap heap. Rear window rust through leading to floor and lower quarters rusting out. Was 1973 the only year you could order a vinyl roof on a Mustang sportsroof?
