Apparently electric cars don't like cold weather.

My sis sent this photo from back on the farm.Never knew it existed! 1976 or 77 My favorite car (1 of 6 in 2 years) was this 1964 Ford Falcon Futura ragtop that has a 302 Boss and Hurst 4 speed shifter in it.

This thing screamed off the line if it didn't start wheel hopping from the rear springs first! You had to dump the clutch just right....

Back then, REAL men worked on their cars barefoot. obviously I was replacing the rear tires AGAIN....

The 302 Boss (The 289 has a 2.87″ stroke. The 302 has a 3.00″ stroke) was dropped into this Falcon by a Tech college. It was their "Project" car and I bought it from the teacher at the end of their semester. $300. Dad loaned me the money which I paid back within 3 months. (I never borrowed another penny from either parent once I turned 18)

Other than rust and the "rag" top (literally), it was a screamer on that 2365 lb Falcon frame. I sold it before winter because I couldn't afford a new top for it. Oh well.

Mud for brains. The art of elocution is dead. A witness describing a carjacking during which, as near as I can tell, the victim engaged the perps - while still in her own car - as one of the robbers wrested control of the vehicle and drove it away at a high rate of speed; car crashed with the victim and both suspects inside.

Witness: "Somebody just hopped out the car, said they were still in the car and the lady was yelling, trying to get people to come around and try to get the cops. But somebody just stole the car, but they did CPR on the person that was still in the car," Gordon said."

Perfectly clear my dear. :wink05:

I'm thinking that the fentanyl "problem" is just another, bigger, better version of the Iran-Contra drugs-for-guns scheme.
Alphabet agencies have learned a lot over the years, and some very crooked people are busily making insane amounts of money.

Devotion. A must-see movie.
Action packed and makes you cry at the end.
Based in true events.

Howdy, gents!
I am looking for Mt St. Hellens ash sault & pepper shakers set.
In case you have it and it collects a dust in your kitchen cabinet…
We will be in WA in March, so I could go your place to buy it.
Thanks for reading!

Years ago she didn’t buy the set when we were there, and later regretted.

Beer saved the world. There really wasn't much safe drinking water, and the fermentation process killed the bacteria...Making it safe to drink..

So, if a guy from the 1400s came into the modern world, he'd probably be amazed at all the safe water sources we have....

Until he got to the bathroom....

'You have all the fresh water one could drink! What's this?! A bowl of fresh water in a room that self replenishes?'

Not exactly, that's a toilet..

'What do you do with it?'


We piss in it...

'You piss? In CLEAN water?'

Well, we shit in it too....

'What the ...?? WHY?!'

Oh, and you see that wand? That sprays water on our ass after we're done...

I think we take modern conveniences for granted.
