So go out with a mask (or don’t, you can probably still get candy with that mug) and trick or treat your neighbors. ?

It has been a very emotional draining, life altering week. Two shocking events happened. One positive and one negative. I dunno what all this means. I dunno what will happen next. Ill keep you guys posted. Both events dont concern me or my family but both have the potential to affect us directly.

I was never fascinated by keeping and preserving patina on restored vehicles. I do understand and applaud this type of restoration. Im just not enamored by it. Do I think its "beautiful"? I guess it depends on the vehicle itself and how the patina ended up being and how the overall restoration and build was done.

Not me, but not starting a new thread. All decorated for fall. (Finally)

Very cool Tudor. If you expended that kind of energy to make the house look good for the fall season, you will probably be commensurately handing out some of the better candy at Halloween.

^ Saw that; interesting article that is unusual in that it appears to take in all charging-related expenditures, rather than cherry pick just a few. THAT is something I almost always see missing from articles. Add to that some states have exorbitant registration fees (and more are coming!), plus EV's rank #1 in average insurance cost in 49 out of 50 states. A true total cost breakdown would be very interesting.

Happy birthday, upon seeing the listing on the homepage, to @VenSeattle, who once had the tag line "a resident of Park Avenue," or something like that. Enjoy your day.

Had a Golden Retriever growing up- a great, mellow dog. Wife is a cat person; I switched teams. I could do without tho- had a 6-yr gap with none- I was fine with that. - - - - -

Right; 4-drs were shunned among enthusiasts.... but of course a huge quantity of 2-drs had bench seats. I'm fine with buckets/console in vintage stuff, I just also have no problem with a bench there, too. I briefly considered buckets/console in my '59, decided not to bother. 'Our gang' ran mostly older iron in the mid '80s; mid '60's stuff, with a couple of '50s cars.

When I was I high school, 4drs with bench seats weren’t aspirational though. They were thought of as parent and grandpa cars. Kids wanted sporty 2dr bucket seat hatchbacks—those were the cars we wanted in the mid 80s. But I had many friends that got hand-me-down sedans from their folks…I remember a pale green ‘77 LeSabre, a sweet red w/ white top ‘76 Electra Limited 2dr, a dark red ‘81 Delta 88, and a sweet triple silver ‘80 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d’Elegance. Rode in all of them, often with 6 teenagers...they were comfortable, not cramped. Also remember a blue '75-78 Marquis 4dr and an early 80s Impala wagon. I drove my Dad’s ‘85 Town Car to school on occasion before I got my ‘87 Mustang GT.

Hahaha that was a co worker of yours?!? Super Scary but also funny, because nobody was injured.
