  1. Mouth organs come in many different forms, making some interesting musical possibilities.
  2. When even the cat can't quite believe human stupidity...
  3. Hey kids !!! Buy several !!! Race with your friends !!! Scare the cat !!! Get the dog to fetch 'em !!! Hours of ACTION FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Granted, it's ridiculously small in the overall scheme of things, but it's like a tiny thorn stuck in my sock on a hike, one that is constantly annoying on an almost subliminal level. Win10 stuffed in a useless bloatware "news and interests" widget during an update a while back, which I ignore for the most part (and just removed). The annoying part is the fact that the supposedly local forecast displayed in the taskbar is entirely devoid of any relationship to reality, for the past few days advising of "sleet coming", or now "sleet off and on". The abject ignorance of weather phenomena and the freezing point of water on the part of whatever techie dwerp set this crapp up is amazing. You just don't get sleet when the air temperature is 65 F. SLEET !!!
  5. Oh, the huge manatees !!!
  6. Subjects like "readin', ritein', and 'rithmetic" are being poorly taught in schools today...which partially explains the lack of understanding of "scale" among some modelers.
  7. Agreed, with a few notable exceptions. For the most part, Hollywood's understanding of and use for cars is primarily 1) showing expensive vehicles as a means to flaunt wealth as an aphrodisiac, usually by characters lacking any other attractive qualities, and 2) things to be run off cliffs, blown up, or otherwise mangled in the apparent goal of providing vicarious thrills for the lowest-common-denominator, short-attention-span, blissfully-ignorant target audience.
  8. Staggeringly wow.
  9. "Palate pleasing" wouldn't most likely refer to fermented vomit.
  10. The point was: if you're going to make a movie about a major league car guy who built some of the finest cars on the planet...get the damm parts about the cars RIGHT. It's not really that hard. EDIT: Or maybe it is...
  11. Lots of technical info for those of us who don't know much about rigs like this, but would like to get things right. Thanks for posting. Looks great.
  12. Liver and onions: mmmm mmmm good.
  13. Very nice. I've seen a few rough ones for practically nothing, tremendous potential, but just don't have the time to take on anything else. Great to see this one get a new home where it'll be taken care of. Happy motoring.
  14. Cream of the crop or whipped topping, one man's cheese is another man's rotten milk.
  15. Paddle ye rowboats while ye may.
  16. Hobbies just melt in Furnace Creek.
  17. Somehow, I think you may have missed the whole point of the cars...
  18. If it wasn't for the dammed cars, there wouldn't be any point in making a movie about the guy.
  19. Yeah, but why would a non-car-person see a movie about Ferruccio Lamborghini anyway? I was somewhat similarly disappointed over the holidays by the book McLaren Sports Racing Cars. Though it has some fine photographs of Bruce and his cars in action, I wanted it primarily as a reference work, mistakenly assuming it would be heavy on technical information. Nope.
  20. Too bad. Sounds like the non-car-enthusiast production people just phoned it in. Think I'll pass. I bet the crew was ethnically and gender diverse though. Everybody knows that 3rd rate trash is OK as long as it's made by wokesters, no matter how talent-free or ignorant of the subject.
  21. Furnace Creek has some hot, sweaty people.
  22. "With your shield or on it" has a nice ring.
