Here goes my question...... I've found what could be a cool little project pickup on Craigslist. The guy only wants $300 for it. It would need an engine, but is otherwise in good shape! So that has me wondering, has anyone ever swapped a Miata engine into anything? The little truck is a Mazda, and short of an RX7 engine, I believe the Miata would be a peppy little transplant. Here's a pic from the ad............ I can just picture it with fender flares and a sticky wheel and tire combo to aid in enjoying the little engine! A bit of a corner carver........... So, what say my mechanic friends? Would a Miata engine be a good idea?

Dad had a little gruffer version........... 'Don't let your mocking bird mouth overrun your hummingbird behind' He had a way with words..........

Forgotten old songs like 'Bird Dog' by the Everly Brothers mention their 'quail', and that you were to leave their lovey dove alone.........

I hate that you're having snake problems! I've always heard that mothballs will drive them away.......... Depending on where you are located, you might have King Snakes around. They eat the lesser snakes, along with rats and such.....

A line from a Beastie Boys song that hits similar......... 'Darkness isn't the opposite of light, it's the Absence of light'

Details that can't be done cleanly by myself usually get omitted, as poorly done details do more to detract from the model than them being left out.......

Hamburgers here are sometimes topped with chili and cole slaw........

We've got us a rolling chassis now! Also put on the initial primer coat. It's Rustoleum flat black primer......... It will get some clean up and another coat before it gets it's silver/gray paint job.

Hangover symptoms include doing the technicolor yawn, or calling 'Ralph' on the big white phone...........

"his brain is squirming like a toad........."

That really makes a huge difference! Armor-All used to make this stuff called 'Armor Plate', which did exactly the same thing that your mixture did. We used it a lot at the detail shop I worked at as a teen........ Good for hiding swirl marks and the like too.

I never really got an allowance........ I learned early that working made money, so that's what I did in order to have spending money. It usually went to clothes and such, and models of course......

Fossil is what the millennials could call me, as I feel the '90s were a good time, especially to be a teenager.........

A white interior would look nice............ black dash and carpet......

I'm sure you've heard the story about the electrician who charged Henry Ford something like 10K just to fix a generator that had went bad...... He had to give Ford an itemized list for the bill. He wrote '$1 to fix generator, $9,999 for knowing how to fix it'.........

"Yes Dear" was a cute little sitcom that featured Tim Conway a few times; he was building models one episode and glued the body to his forehead.........

The hammy has been being Very active for the last two days. At a year and a half, he's still quite spry! I had him outside in his ball at about 10:30 last night so he could get some fresh air.........

Hello, Fellows! I have a few questions pertaining to my desktop tower computer. First question is: How important to the function of the machine is MS OneDrive? I keep getting notices pop up saying that OneDrive is slowing down my computer. I looked up what it is, and it seems like a file organizing app or something. When I use CCleaner, it says that OneDrive needs to close (meaning it's running in the background), and there is always a Bunch of files on/in it when the CCleaner is done. Next question is: Would CCleaner's paid service be worth having? Like, would it be as good as an antivirus program? I'm using a pieced-together Win10 unit, and they are gonna stop updating these in October...... I'm already planning a subscription to AdBlock Plus, which will make browsing a little safer, and there's Avast One on here, though I don't pay for it either. Anyway, any help with this will be appreciated!

'Originals' is what we all hope our models turn out being.......

See, now stuff like this I LIKE! Just learned of this band today. In fact, this is the only song I've heard yet....... They're called Kokoroko........ This gets better each time you listen!

Have you tried a Snickers ice cream bar? You can get a pack of 6 at the supermarket....... Absolutely my favorite ice cream! You can also get a 1.5 quart carton, but it's not quite as good.

Beef used to be what was for dinner, according to an old commercial...........

That's such pretty paint work! So nice and slick............. and that color.....

Hey, everyone! Have any of you seen these yet? They're rims for your real car that have been inspired by the old HW rims......... I had some HWs as a kid with these wheels (a Porsche 959 the most memorable), plus when I was 18, I had a '91 Honda Civic! Mine was red........... Anyways, I melted when I saw this pic..........

You know, you hardly ever see a classic BMW in such a meme........ It's always a newer one! I guess the owners of the classics are too busy out enjoying a nice twisty road......
