Fuck this place too. I might be done with it. All it is is a bunch of hateful whiney Liberals proving that they can be as stupid and ill-informed as the Trump Nation.

No politics ever here. Why vote? they're all the same, they're all corrupt and they're all getting rich on the back of the little guy who is lucky if he can stay qualified for his disability check. That check is important. The Cougar is a real gas guzzler and I have to be at Denny's in the afternoon to meet with my buddies. They don't vote much either. We just drink coffee and bitch about the government and bitches. It's like this place for people who got left behind by social media.

*waves* Hi, AJ!
 
I sure seem to be a lot of things to a lot of people. I guess that this is done to a lot of new posters. I wonder how many stay?
 
Home. Long day. Whereas there were successes, all in all the week went sideways. But I'll be out of there shortly, no matter what.


In 168 hours, I'll be wandering home from points south and west.


Went to supper with the east end crowd. The lower rent bunch. It was a decent week for the deer harvesters. Regardless, they had strange weeks, too.


But the bills are paid . . . .

Happy Saturday!!!


I slept pretty well last night, which is always a nice bonus.


I checked on the bike last night and its battery is pretty weak Cold weather will do that to occasionally used charging storage systems. I'll hook up the charger to it here in a bit and see if we can't nurse it back to health.


But the tool room is overfull with temporary storage of all sorts of things as a result of the move-in, so there may be moving and climbing involved.

One of those things you don't know until you see it, and then you can't forget it. Whoda thunk it?

Creative types live and breathe based on the concepts they put forth, so most tend to get a little cranky when somebody else appropriates those concepts. When it came to the incredible similarities between Virgil Exner’s 1953 Chrysler D’Elegance idea car — which heads to auction next month in New York City — and the Karmann Ghia, however, Exner couldn’t have been more delighted.

“Ex was not angered by the unauthorized plaigarism,” Peter Grist wrote in his biography of the famed Studebaker and Chrysler designer. “When he finally saw the production car in 1955, he was pleased with the outcome and glad that one of his designs had made it into large-scale production.” About 440,000 Volkswagen Karmann Ghias rolled off the assembly line with the aggressive haunches and ovoid roofline that originally emerged from Exner’s home studio in Birmingham, Michigan.

It is more like the phenomenon of parallel evolution where divergent species evolve to fill similar niches in widely divergent places/times. i have never heard of the Hemmings before though. I wonder how many people have.

It's been around since at least the early 70s, Vlad. I posted an old Buick for sale in it once, and it sold to some kids from out of state. I failed miserably at finding a local buyer.


I think that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, in many ways.


I liked the info on Exner, and I like his Forward Look cars.


I should have shopped for a Road Runner when I bought that Buick . . . .


 
I drive on the roads today and all of the cars, they look alike. Is everyone plagiarizing each other, or, is the conformation to much needed regulation causing form and function to supersede art? Cars are so much safer now right? Even if they are boring as all get-out?

Aerodynamics. Modern vehicles tend to look similar to each other since the coefficient of drag is so highly considered.

That was my point, in a way. The imposition of fleet mpg in order to save our environment for our children and grandchildren. But still, I have a weak spot for Cadillac fins. It is, however a good thing that we encouraged Detroit to do the right thing.
 
Yeah, thanks be to Allah for causing the first Arab Oil Embargo and ruining all sorts of things about the auto industry.


The sun is out and it looks pleasant, and it is, until you go outside. The first frosty morning is cold-feeling until one gets used to it.


The tree rats are out, so I may have to spend some quality time later watching out for them.


The bike battery didn't charge sufficiently, so it must have been deader than it appeared. Damned high compression engines - not!!!

Tell us about yourself, n00b.

Why don't you lead the introductions, "Feynman."

You can't seem to decide on what his backstory is. Sometimes you lean it towards the Skiddles back story, and sometime you lean it away from that. You kind of need to decide which it is.

...and then there is the acknowledged as Skiddles who magically has a child now, even though he never had one before. You're a little old to be siring children; you're practically Medicare aged.

I'm convinced that if you swapped out the tail lights and grill on any given SUV, it could pass for the other.

Pretty soon we'll have the "American car" and "the American man and woman" to match all from the same government mold.:D
 
Oh look, everybody. The n00b "WoundedKnee" has already acquired a powerful patron in Sheriff ShitsQUEak. The GB's self-proclaimed Board Sheriff has taken the n00b under his protective wing and will keep him safe from all the mean people here on the General Board, making it safe for them to promote their worldview while making them immune from criticism (Teh Sheriff will make those who disagree with his "loved ones" pay an "exorbitant cost" in crossing him).

"Everybody" can't "look" if they have you on ignore as most sensible people do. That's why you had to create Feynman in the first place you weren't getting any attention as RDS because you've made yourself odeous with your constant childish insults.

So that's a no, you don't want to flesh out their biographical details?

You never were any good at that part.

The multidimensional array presented by the forces of freedom is an intellectual threat to Totalitarianism's simple one-dimensional man. :rolleyes::D
 
All SUVs, except the infamous Ford Exploder. Nothing matches/tops it for . . . Fordness.


So, calculating that the old battery won't take a charge and keep it sufficiently because it is of dubious vintage - read "old" - I went to the dealership and got a new one. I could have gotten one online for some less, but today, or Wednesday of next week. The son-of-a-bitch is a pain to get to but easily changed. Nothing special there.


So a ride was gotten in the the Bracing Air was experienced.


My cheeks are still all atingle . . . .

They are not comely; they are just proportioned that way. . .
