  1. The term "shell shock" comes to mind.
  2. To all who have served, Thank you!
  3. I would have done that job for FREE!
  4. I grew up near Buffalo, NY. Haven't been cold since I moved to Atlanta in 1985. If you added up all the snow we have had here since 1985, it wouldn't make a decent storm back home! I don't even own a snow shovel. The last boots I had were turned back in at the Fire Department when I retired. We ran the furnace a couple weeks ago to burn off all the dust in the system, on a day that we could open the windows and let the smell out. It's an annual event.
  5. How many? I'm currently on #42 and #44 right now. A few were project vehicles, but most were daily drivers.
  6. Is that a hole in the fender or a hole in the photo?
  7. The quad headlights came out in 1958 and that model was produced into 1970.
  8. I see no need. The wife and I vote around 10 AM on voting day every time, It takes us ten minutes, never more than one or two others in front of us. I expect nothing different this time.
  9. You beat me to it. I grew up with one in my backyard. If I had a nickel for every one of those things I picked up as a kid, I'd be a rich man!
  10. I bought two cars during 1979, a 1964 Chrysler New Yorker, with a 413 and a push button automatic and a 1972 Chevy Kingswood Estate wagon, fake wood sides and all. My wife named the New Yorker "Oscar" and I paid $200 for it in Phenix City, AL (When I was stationed at Fort Benning, GA) and I drove it to Fort hood, TX when I got transferred there a couple months later. That fall, I bought the wagon, after the 413 started started using more oil than gas. I gave $675 for the Chevy and drove it for about 6 or 7 months when the transmission started slipping and I sold it for $350. I have no pics of either one, 'cause I never had a camera until Christmas, 1980.
  11. Back in Buffalo, we'd call this a "dusting". Here in Atlanta, they'd shut everything down and declare a State of Emergency!
  12. Not everything in the US comes on a ship. Not all cars come off a ship and the two I have will outlast his silly strike. So will the clothes I already have. Most of the malls have been closed for years. Construction delays will not make much difference in my life, I have not purchased steel nor lumber in many years. Sounds like a blowhard to me. Maybe he'll hold his breath until he gets his way!
  13. We call them Rotary Plows back home in Buffalo.
  14. Congratulations and best of luck on your future plans.
  15. The hole in the oil pan was so big you could almost fit your hand into it. All the oil was gone in seconds. I miss 10w30. I once did a transmission swap up there during the winter. I wasn't on the side of the road, but it wasn't in a garage either. It took me two days due to frequent trips inside to thaw out. I moved south not long after!
