OK, I lied on last post...

Having raised kids, I think every child should idally grow up with both a dog and a cat. Loyalty and boundaries are two of the most important things for anyone to learn IMHO....cats teach boundaries, Dogs teach loyalty. just my two cents. That is killer I love the Kia EV's, could see owning one myself. Onward to progress.....!

According to IMDB it may be 'Innocent Blood'...I haven't seen it, but recognize many in the cast..a few actors that were in 'The Sopranos' were in it. And according to IMCDB, there were several '70s and 80s Cadillacs in it. The movie I always remember is 'The Color of Money' with Paul Newman driving a white Fleetwood Brougham...

I wouldn't mind having a '95-97 TC or an '03-11 TC. They had very comfortable seats. Or a Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham from '85-89 or '93-96...

Love the GMC Semi Truck!!! I have the whole series, great movies even the latest one.

I had forgotten this instrumental piece is such a great part of this "classic" comedy. As Serge would have said, "It's a very important piece." (Some movie scenes inserted in, which is cool.) This is excellent.

@A Horse With No Name Here is a lovely custom ride!

Munro and Associates say the EV9 is one of the best battery packs around. Kia EV9 Battery Pack Teardown: ’A Wonderful Design’ (insideevs.com) So impressed with what Kia has done with the battery pack.

Very cute. Looks like there's some Russian Blue in the DNA. I think I'm the one active member that likes dogs and cats about equally ... there are some great dogs and some great cats ... and their goofiness will steal your heart.

There was a movie filmed in Pittsburgh that had Anthony La Paglia in it and he was a detective or a cop chasing down a killer vampire snacking on Mafiosos. It turns out it's a younger lady - a French actress - whose subjects of choice are the bad guys. The movie starts out with a hit on a mobster while parked at a Pittsburgh viewpoint - probably Mt. Washington - and they are warming up to doing the nasty. That is, until she digs het fangs in. The camera then pans away from a dark Fleetwood Brougham of that era. What movie was that?

My 2008 Trailblazer SS made a ton of torque at 1000 rpm, about 350 ft-lbs before hitting it's max @ 4000rpm. That is allot of torque for a pushrod V8. It had no problem getting off the line.

Optispark is one of those things that GM got right just before they canceled it. These days, if you have trouble with it, the modern optispark replacements are rock solid and last forever. So do it, replace the water pump at the same time (because, why not? you already have to take it off) and drive another 300,000 miles

You mean 2026, right? I know. Ten to twenty years ago, we didn't have these thoughts. I can think of a few catalysts responsible for having moved us over to this sort of thinking, but we can't discuss these things here, so I'll let it go. As far as land yachts go, I like some of them. I wouldn't want to go too old on such a vehicle. I'd sure love a '75 or '76 Bonneville Brougham or Grandville Brougham coupe; however, that 400 or 455 would have to go and a 350 would need to go in. I'd sure love an '82 Delta 88 Royale (Brougham) coupe with the small Olds V8, but same line of thinking. But, on a more realistic note, the one's I'd come closer to owning would be a 2000+ Grand Marquis 4.6 SOHC V8 that was from one of the years with stellar Consumer Reports dots or a mid-'90s Caprice with the 200 hp (enough for me) Chevy 4.3 V8, Optispark and all - oh well. I think the Chevy would win because of my (previous) loyalty to GM and my having only owned all cast-iron engines thus far, which says "luddite."

Today was a Sad day, i went to my boss's funeral. I knelt down next to his casket and said, "Who's thinking outside the box now?" ?
