*grins* Bobo ... this is one of the threads I was HOPING to see when I visited tonight ... he he. Believe it or not, I look forward to this post every single year ... because it is always informative, cool, humorous and downright awesome! Ah, THANK YOU! Ya know, if you are able to join us on July 25 for the 2nd annual Chitown gathering, you could see all of 'em ... might even let you drive one or two . And, I haven't been posting anywhere much lately. Lots going on right now (some not so good) that require my attention ... so I try to visit at least once a week or so....and keep up as much as possible.

*raises eyebrow curiously* Dang ... I've never known a female who wanted the sex first.... Perhaps that's part of my problem . usonia, awesome post. And, Mikey, I can identify with you. At 35 and never had a gf, let alone sex, I'm beginning to think it is "too late" for me. Didn't help that we had our family Christmas dinner Sunday (01/04/09) and I was the only one without a spouse or gf. I kinda felt out of place, in a way. Still ... it was a great time and I wish we got together more often. Anyway ... I've learned that it is OK to be single. Society, however, doesn't seem to think so since most things are built around couples of some sort. Ugh.

Camino, I thought of you earlier today, when I saw this: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/cto/971927261.html Cort | 35swm | "Mr Monte Carlo"."Mr Road Trip" | pig valve.pacemaker ...Chitown #2 = 07/25/09 WRMNshowcase.legos.HO.models.MCs.RTs.CHD = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "I can't remember who I was back then" ...

LOL! Kinda makes you wonder who invented the "bad" words ... and who deemed them "bad".....

Nah, I don't think that sounds like BS ... because years ago you could tell what was coming; these days, sometimes, you can't tell if it is a Ford or Dodge or Chevy until it is right next to you ... they all look somewhat alike . And, that '77-'79 Impala toy car ... what scale?

*nods* Thank you. I feel a bit better ... had to take TamiFlu for a while....

Ah ... mine have been pulmonary.

A belated MERRY CHRISTMAS (and) An early HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Cort | 35swm | "Mr Monte Carlo"."Mr Road Trip" | pig valve.pacemaker ...RT 66 drive = Sept '09 WRMNshowcase.legos.HO.models.MCs.RTs.CHD = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "Another year comes to a close" ... Sylvia ... 'Reflections'

That is the way to go. I remember when I visited a fellow MC owner, Crazy Bill, in New Mexico during my 2004 road trip. He showed me 100% rust free cars...it was simply amazing! Nice buy, Sixty8 .

hot

*grins* I have! One of the weirder sensations.... We were visiting friends in CA ... and all of us (mom, dad, sis and I) noticed it ... the friends we were visiting barely noticed it ... because they were used to feeling small earthquakes like that one was.....

You don't "road trip" alone? Or am I missing something? Sorry...it's late ... lol. I still love to road trip and do so at least once a year . I love the "me" time I have while driving ... then my "socialization" time is when I stop to visit family and friends along the way.... You probably still do have that talent ... stuff like that doesn't always go away.... *sighs* Sadly, I have too many hobbies ... and haven't worked with many of 'em in a long time ... mostly because I don't have time .

VERY cool, post, trinacriabob! Sweet links, too. I prefer the '76-'77 Cutlasses to the '73-'75 versions. Still ... awesome cars.

*grins* While I obviously agree with you here ... the last Monte Carlos were made in December 1987 ... as 1988 models . LOL! As for shortening car names ... I usually say or type "MC" for "Monte Carlo". Most people know what I'm talking about ... usually .

Just like the automobiles of those days, imho..... I love looking at pics of older buildings and cars, regardless of the current condition. It always seems to set my imagination wild, trying to picture the building or car as "brand new".....

Aye. What type of VRS did he have? You're not crazy; I've experienced similar things with the deaths of my grandparents, too. Thoughts/prayers coming to you and your entire family.....
