Join me today in wishing @NINETY EIGHT REGENCY a happy birthday. All year long, he provides the forum with informative, entertaining, and even quirky videos and links. It's very easy to remember his birthday because it's that of Napoleon Bonaparte and, more importantly, that of my late father. I also looked up who else might be a famous person having a birthday today. I found quite a few, with the more known ones being Jennifer Lawrence, Ben Affleck, and chef Julia Child. All the other ones were younger "too cool for school" types that don't register with me. Happy birthday, Landis! And many more.

Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes. It is appreciated. I thought I would share something that arrived in my driveway in July. It was bought in July after the demise of the black Toronado in May 2021. I have not said anything because I have been working on things to get to registered and in proper working order. It is from Canada. I bought it outside the United States and had paid for importation and paperwork. That is why there has been a delay of me posting videos and articles. I thought you might wanted to see the new Toronado.

Haven't been around much lately, been a busy summer...hating the constant rain..been so wet the last 3-4 months. Is this Cleveland or Seattle? Moved into the new house on June 22, been going back and forth working on the old house, moving out everything, unpacking boxes, busy with work since then...old house almost ready--should be on the MLS in the next week finally. Getting new carpet this week. Had the inside and inside of the garage painted over the last two weeks. Getting tired of the 25 mile drive on I-271 and the fecal I-480 back and forth between the two houses (480 freeway has the worst drivers in Ohio I think--saw the aftermath of 3 crashes in a 5 mile stretch yesterday). The worst drivers are no longer BMW drivers--its KIA drivers--they drive like complete assholes.... Looking forward to getting the house for sale and actually getting back to enjoying my weekends....

Happy Birthday @NINETY EIGHT REGENCY Weird part is that the router I never think about till it starts acting up. Usually, I have them replaced every 5 years, but this one went 7 years. WOW. Ultium Cells Response to US Senator Br... | Ultium Cells LLC Very interesting read, totally get GM here.

If you're looking for other specific makes/models from GM, Ford, or Chrysler. I was gifted an extensive collection a while back that spans decades. I'm planning on selling off most of it. Happy Birthday @NINETY EIGHT REGENCY

The upload speeds you are getting from Ziply is very impressive. Newer equipment (especially replacing anything older than three years old) always impresses with better speed, lower latency and higher throughput.

For 'safe' colors, like the way-overused black, silver and white, I never thought I'd go for any of those, but I do like my metallic black Jeep w/ the beige and black interior. It's a very common color combo on so many SUVs, though...esp premium and luxury models. Not a fan of white, but could go for a pearl white on Cadillacs..

Not sure about 'safe', but F8 green and Octane Red are my favorite current Mopar colors..I'd definitely go for that green. Perhaps like the song, she's 'a Barbie girl in the Barbie world'... it's cool when people are fearless and be themselves in public..

Not what you expect to see next to you at the pump The owner told me that, like its badging, it had a Chevy 350 V8 and was a 1970. When asked how many barrels it had, he seemed perplexed and I told him that meant the number of "holes" feeding the carburetor. That's fine. For some drivers, turning the key and knowing where to put in the fuel works just fine. Except for the after-market wheels, this vehicle, which reminds me of a previously prolific forum member, was in near perfect condition.

Seen August 9 Not what you expect to see at Burger King ... or maybe Burger King coupons are where this person cuts corners to be able to have this car. I'm being a jerk. I approached it from this direction, parked a few spots away from my car. The owner told me it had a 6.2 L V8 - using my R.O.T. of 60 c.i. per liter, there might have been a Chevy V8 that displaced ~378 cubic inches or thereabouts. Whether on a luxury car or a sports car, one of my favorite color combinations,* and a timeless one at that. * though I think (a darker) burgundy trumps something closer to an actual red

Not what you expect to see while getting coffee. Is this supposed to be a takeoff on someone? I wouldn't know. To me, she looked more like a tall pink version of Pat Benatar. Getting into her Spark with spunk and aplomb. And making quite an impression while being frugal at the gas pump. - - - - - Hey, I'm all for people who have moxie and seek to be original.

I have seen 2 so far. Two days in a row. One was in front of me on the freeway. They look like either a tall toaster on wheels or an inspiration for/from Scandinavian furniture design.
