Quote of the day . Heh...I hadn't even thought about it like that . Oh ... and I agree about Ice Age. I remember when we sat down to watch it one evening ... I wasn't too sure about it ... but, my cousin swore it was good ... and I loved it. Haven't seen IA2 yet, tho....hmmmm

*chuckles* I thought the "wandering eye" was to be used for something else ... instead of cars... . Seriously, tho, yes, bookmark those places ... ya never know when they might come in quite handy!

Hmmm...I wonder if it is the area that you are in? I only ask because around here ... a lot of kids (er, younger than me) are into older cars. Many of 'em show up at the car shows held in the area nightly ... and I know quite a few from my various car clubs/groups..... *shrugs* Cort, "Mr MC" / "Mr Road Trip", 32swm/pig valve/pacemaker MC:family.IL.guide.future = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/ Models.HO = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/trainroom.html "I'm just out to find the better part of me" ... 5 For Fighting ...

Hmm...then I'd think any of the sites posted for ya would work.... GOOD LUCK!

I got myself out of bed early Wednesday morning to get a haircut before work. I got to the barber shop, noted the people ahead of me (couple of middle-aged guys, an older gentleman and his grandson, about 5-8 years old), and plopped down in a chair to "rest my eyes". Within minutes, the TV blared a promo for the new movie, "Cars". My ears perked slightly, in part because I'm eager to see this movie. The promo ended, and I went back to "resting my eyes", though not for long. Within seconds, a voice piped up: "That movie doesn't look good." Suddenly, my dreary eyes were not so dreary anymore. I looked at the young kid who had just uttered those words. While my mind was wrapping itself around what the kid had just said ... and attempting to formulate a question, someone else asked what was difficult for me to figure out how to ask: "What do you mean that movie doesn't look good?" Without missing a beat, the kid replied: "It's about cars that talk and drive themselves around. That's not reality." The shop became suddenly quiet. No more discussion was had on that topic. But, my mind starting thinking.... Does this mean that today's kids are cynical about life? Or, does it mean that today's kids simply don't have an imagination? Or, does this mean that us adults (er, at least those of us who are notoriously cynical) are shedding our outlook on life on innocent children? Or? My goodness. When I was young, I had a healthy dose of General Lee, KITT and Herbie. General Lee provided the "racing" energy. Yeah, that car didn't talk ... it didn't have to ... it performed ... and that horn...oh that horn. KITT ... the dang car TALKED! Plus, it could drive itself ... and help Michael stop criminals. And, can't forget about Herbie ... the car with a mind of its own, the ability to drive itself, and the uncanny ability to deciper between good and evil people ... and appropriately act towards each one (never will forget watching Herbie spray oil on that one fella). And now, the movie "Cars", that I've been anticipating for weeks, was suddenly a movie that a young kid didn't think looked good. Aye. I can't imagine being a kid and NOT liking or wanting to see this movie.... Well, at least for me, cruising season (a definite reality) has started ... what with my older 4 MCs having made their debut in mid-May (had to get a battery for the '79, but otherwise, they all started ... and are running well) ... and being able to clean (wash, wax, etc.) the daily driver '87 MC LS for the first time this year last Saturday. Now, if only I could get sponsors for the radio show ... and figure out what the "mass" is on my liver ... and find a new job..... BTW, anyone in the Chicagoland area interested in going to see "Cars" sometime this weekend? I want to go ... but would rather not go by myself ... and it'd be cool to have a group of us see it together....

Bud, you're welcome. I was very shocked to read this ... after the other thread you started about her...and figured as shocked as I was, it had to be 10 times (if not more) worse for you.... Sorry she made it final.... Don't know what to say either about yer ex ... or your family's attitude towards her.... At any rate, offer still stands.

Wow, Frank ... I don't even know what to say either. Very sorry . And hey, if you still have my cell #, give me a call if you want to chat....

Well, that's good news! Yikes. Oddly, when my '00 mc LS was totaled in 2003, I wasn't able to be there when it was towed away, but the body shop snapped some photos of it as they loaded it and took off ... rather weird. I still have those pics somewhere.

Illinois is OK. But, I've always liked the Nashville/Jackson TN areas.... *sighs* Better yet, I'd rather just travel 365/24/7..........

*chuckles* One night last June, during the time I was looking for a new job, I got online a bit later than normal, and with about 3 message boards yet to read, I decide to take a break for a few minutes and watch some TV ... next thing I new, it was morning ... he he he. And, thanks for the PMs .

Heh...especially with the health issues ... Hmmm...I'd rather "eff" a female . *sighs* Blame it on being tired'n'frustrated...he he he.

Will do ... and, of course, no worries! If I don't check in tomorrow night (Dad's softball team doesn't play until 8:50 ... and then I need to get up early Saturday morning to start cleaning the '87 MC LS for the 1st time this year) I'll check in for sure Saturday night . He he he....

*grumbles* But I can't drink beer..... LOL! Well, I'd probably just think ... cuz I doubt I'd talk to myself on the way home .

Hmm...that wouldn't bother me too much ... I still haven't gotten the clips to put the trim back around the top of my '72's windshield...he he he. *grins* PM being sent shortly .

*rolls eyes* This is just asking for trouble..........

SWEET! As I noted, we have plenty of time to finalize plans ... and heck, depending on who else of my friends up there in the Detroit metro area are available, perhaps it'll be a bigger get together ... if that's OK with ya'll .

Ohhhh...neat! Have any pics of this place now? Sounds awesome! So, is the food good, too?

First ... on that Caprice ... does it look like it's in fairly good shape? Just curious.... Hmmm....any pics of these available? Phone #s? Shape? Intriguing indeed ... thanks, Camino!!!

'If I Could Be Like That'

Sweet! And, yes, that's the plan ... probably late Sunday night, Aug 13 arrival in the Detroit metro area ... coming from PA that afternoon. Tho, that might change, depending on whether or not I have to take more vacation days for my current health issues ... we'll see. GOOD! You better . Except, I don't think it'll be lunch ... more like Sunday dinner or perhaps Monday brunch ... depending on what time I need to head home that Monday.... Course, I may "flip flop" that and go to MI before the reunion in PA ... and OH/IN afterward ... we'll see.... Plenty of time to figure things out, tho .

Ooo..that'd be awesome, too! Perhaps you should have someone (or yourself) photoshop some of these combinations to see what they all might look like......

Hey Paulie, good luck! Sure wish I was waiting for interviews or answers about whether or not I'm offered a new job ... can't stand the call center job ... keep applying ... so, something should turn up soon....
